Baseball Toaster was unplugged on February 4, 2009.
Ugueth Urbina has been traded by the Rangers to the Jeffrey Loria-led Marlins for three Double-AA prospects, one of which was the number one all around pick in 2000.
The Rangers continue to dump older players and salary for prospects. The Marlins feel that they can compete and that with Dontrelle Willis, they can draw fans. They also plan to use Urbina as a setup man, so I don't see why he's worth the three prospects, but that's what Loria's leadership does to teams. The Marlins are only three games over .500, have three teams ahead of them in the NL East standings, and have five teams ahead of them in the wild card. Is an extra setup guy going to push them over the top?
By the way, the Marlins fan--and you know who you are-- can rejoice because Dontrelle Willis will be replacing the continually injured Kevin Browne on the NL All-Star roster.
