What good is that speed. I mean. Really. Is it important? A potential top of the rotation pitcher is.

I was just playing devil's advocate, but speed matters. A player like Gordon can completely disrupt a pitchers rhythm when he gets on base. And he can single handily put himself into scoring position just about every time.

So looking at the trade (in it's entirely) I'm thinking Bundy / Norris or Gonzalez would have probably landed us Gordon and Ethier (and cash back). I'm not sure that would have been the answer, but it would have definitely filled two needs.

Ok. Good point.

The Marlins discussed a Neaney for Chris Davis deal a few weeks ago. Maybe we can move Davis for Gordon 2B and one of their relievers. We need a leadoff hitter with speed. Gordon fits perfectly. He also plays SS if needed.

It seems like the Marlins are just hell bent on proving to people that they are willing to compete, that they are making crazy moves.

Almost wondering if they are hoping Haren retires.

One year of Davis is not worth several years of Gordon plus other pieces.

Gordon gets thrown out a lot. Gordon is not an upgrade. He's fast.

I think Nick signed with a fourth place team.
