Fresh off of rotoworld and I just heard it confirmed on ESPN.

Cubs acquired RHP Kevin Gregg from the Marlins for RHP Jose Ceda.

 

 

Gregg has 61 saves the last two years, but he's hardly a dominant reliever and he's looking at a salary of around $4 million for next season. If the Marlins were only going to move one of their arbitration-eligible players this winter, he should have been the one to go. Of course, he's actually the fourth. The Marlins figure to replace him with Matt Lindstrom, though if a rehabbing veteran wants to sign cheap (Jason Isringhausen?), some sort of competition could be set up.

 

I can't say I'm too upset about this one. Not at all, actually. Thoughts?

This off of Rotoworld.com:

Royals acquired first baseman Mike Jacobs from the Marlins for RHP Leo Nunez.

 

The Marlins will likely let Gaby Sanchez and Dallas McPherson battle it out to become Jacobs' replacement. Sanchez will be the favorite, but the Marlins would be better defensively with McPherson at third and Jorge Cantu at first.

 

Doesn't give us much on Nunez and what his impact could be. Me, personally, don't like the trade, but that's why I am only a fan.

So I did some research last night (drunk and tired so I may be off) but unless I'm a total douchebag the last time we were .500 or better was January 1st 2006 when we ended our season with a victory over New England to go 9-7 on the year.

Guys that is 987 days (give or take 5 or 6 due to my aforementioned state of mind)

And I know it would only be 1 - 1, but hell that's a step in the right direction! It's been a long time since the Fins have been out of the doghouse of the NFL. A 1-1 record also would put us in 3rd or even 2nd in the division! (albeit a tie, but who cares!)

Remember January 1st 2006? jeez that was Nick Saban, the streak at the end of the year. Then he followed that up with the disappointment of the 4 - 12 season which was then regrettably followed up by the hiring of the man whose name I refuse to say or type.

Anyways, I just thought that this was an interesting (and extremely depressing - i've already begun hitting the bottle since I unearthed this) tidbit. 

Time to turn this thing around and it starts today! Let's go fins!

So on PTI on ESPN they did OVER/UNDER 5 Wins for the Miami Dolphins and Mike Wilbon said over. He predicted a 7-9 Season for the Dolphins.

I can't say that I agree or disagree, because I am still not sure yet. I just think it's great to see someone who is unbiased (at least towards the dolphins Wilbon is) pick the Dolphins to surprise. He actually just got me a little more excited than I was before. Let's see.
