May Review... Miami Marlins Dynasty 
Posted on January 1, 2014 at 07:00 PM.
Latest News out of Miami for the month of May...


Activated CF Joel Hatch from DL (5/2)
Activated #B Placido Polanco from DL (5/13)
Acquired LF Dominic Brown from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for C Roger Valdez, then optioned Brown to AAA New Orleans (5/14)
Placed LF Bryan Ortega on 60 day DL with a torn calf (5/16)
Placed RP Victor Pena on 15 day DL with a torn finger ligament(5/21)

Of course the major happening of the month was acquiring LF Brown. He spent his entire year on AAA for Philly, this will definitely add some depth at LF, with Pierre getting older, it is only a matter of time before he gets his chance in the majors. The man the Phillies got was a Catching prospect in Valdez, it was one of their team needs, which made it easier to perform the 1 for 1 deal. Losing him wasn't great, he was hitting well in AAA, but the solid depth at the position and the excelling performance of our starter Rob Brantly, made it easier. Browns role will be a AAA starter in left, it will give me the opportunity to examine him while getting plenty ABs. Expect more moves out of Miami in the coming days.

As a team, our record totally dwindled, a very poor month. Here are the NL East Standings through June 1st.

In short, we only gathered 8 wins in May, pitching has been pretty non existent, Jacob Turner is the best starter we have, he has an A potential, a 4-1 record and a 3.3 ERA. LeBlanc is struggling, along with Nolasco and Alvarez, hopefully those guys turn it around quickly, or a change to our starting rotation is imminent (cough cough Hand and Koehler)

With the MLB draft coming up soon, I will be posting my draft results on here. Hopefully I will find the next Mike Trout.
