I'm not watching the playoff no interest. Certainly, though, any team but the Dodgers would be welcome for the good of the sport. Perhaps this is the year the Rays get off the shneid.

I did not agree when we let go of Victor Mesa but nor did I imagine him having the season he had.

It would not have mattered. The Marlins OF is stacked, and they have more in their current farm system.

However, It's sad how his stock fell to an all-time low with the Marlins, and only on another team did he figure out how to play baseball.
