But you're looking at a 24 year old reliever in AA and a guy on the DL with TJS. I don't think they could have been expected to get anything that significant, but they threw in cash, which they never do, and this was all they got. I will bet you that they've wanted those 2 guys for years.
July 29, 201015 yr We should look at Dan Uggla. I think he could be converted to 3B, or worst case scenario be the DH.

Outside of striking a little bit more than you would like to see, Dan Uggla is a really good ball player, and I thought for sure the Marlins were looking to get rid of his salary.

Between trying to get a new ballpark and the fact that everyone knows they rake in a ton from revenue sharing anyway, they're talking to him about an extension at this point.

Good for Uggla and the Marlins. Him and Ramirez easily make up the best offensive MI duo, don't they?

You can make a case for others I'm sure. Utley and Rollins comes to mind, but they're both hurting (although better defensively). Gimme a year and maybe we can talk Ramirez and Beckham?

Gimme a year and maybe we can talk Ramirez and Beckham? Nah, I don't see it. Beckham certainly might become a better offensive player than Uggla, but I don't see Ramirez improving more than what we have seen out of him, unless someone gets through to him and he stops being so pull happy. Ramirez could be a stud if he used RF a lot more.
