He's the perfect example of the saying "slider-speed bat"
Pretty much. I'll check fangraphs later to see how he's fairing against fastballs. I'm certain it's not good.

I wouldn't be so down on Bruney...at least he is a better option than Pena.
That's like saying Oprah is a better lay than Whoopi Goldberg.

They also failed to find him in the first round.
Yeah, I'm sure they feel completely inadequate that they found a future all-star, HR champ, perennial MVP candidate in the second round as opposed to the first round.

I see. So you'd rather have been the marlins of the past 6-7 years, no playoff appearances and a full selloff.
No, I'd rather have the Marlins scouting department. It's really that simple. They didn't get Stanton because they lost 110 games and ended up with the first pick.

Second round pick. But remember, the reason our farm sucks hairy, pimple infested ass is because we have the third or forth most wins in the last ten years and we're severely crippled because we rarely have a top 10 pick.

wow why did he swing on the 3-0
I don't mind that against this garbage pitcher. How we don't have at least 7 runs eludes me.

Thye may be in it but, EJ could still be dealt regardless.
Peavy is Prior 2.0. Humber could fall off a cliff at any given moment. How could we afford to trade a starter if the division is there for the taking?
