Miller was a huge disappointment in Miami...as well as Maybin. They never panned out and both were given plenty of chances. Miller could not find the plate and Maybin could not hit a curve ball even if he had a guitar and they told him the pitch was coming.
...so basically The Tigers got Miggy....for nothing. How disappointing....
....Not to mention the Marlins gave up Cody Ross for NOTHING and Dan Uggla saying NO to 4 years, $48 million....things are NOT looking good for the Marlins.

Maybin never was a very good hitter ...
I still think Miller will work out in the long run.
He's only been around for 2-3 years.
Then they go and turnaround and trade the best power hitting 2nd basemen in decades to SOMEONE WITHIN THEIR OWN DIVISION!!!! UUGGHHHHHH!!
Florida Marlins send Dan Uggla to Atlanta Braves for Omar Infante, Mike Dunn - ESPN
He can hit the fastball...like just about every single player at double A and above....but he was downright disgusting when he saw a curveball. He would turn into mush. And it is too bad because hte can flag them down in center and and a very good arm and AMAZING speed. Personally, I think the Marlins worked him TOO HARD to become a leadoff hitter.
I never envisioned Maybin being more than a .270 hitter ....
I was somewhat disappointed to see him go (Tigers trade) but got over it quickly watching him during the year that he was traded.
He was ok in the minors, but can't hit enough in the majors.
As for Miller, I REALLY liked him, don't think the Tigers gave him a realistic chance and moved him, still think he'll do fine.... maybe.
Bullpen improvement for the Tigers.

I saw this a few minutes ago , it's always a good move to update the bullpen, since Zoom, Zoom Zumaya goes down EVERY year ..... I'm figuring this could be his last hurrah in Detroit if he's injured again this upcoming year.
Rumors have been flying heavy down here that the Marlins plan to do some serious wheeling and dealing. They have already gone crazy trading Cameron Maybin, Andrew Miller and Dan Uggla. Now comes word that they are are VERY interested in veteran pitcher Javier Vazquez. Main reason is he gobbles up innings and has not been on a DL list in almost 10 years. The OTHER big news I heard on the radio today is that Diamondbacks were very interested in Ricky Nolasco and there is a 'very good possibility' of a Nolasco/Logan Morrison for ....Justin Upton. That would be HUGE!!!!
If I'm the Marlins I jump all over that, and I like Nolasco a lot (I admit I'm not too familiar to Morrison).
I wouldn't be surprised if the Marlins had to throw in a Chris Volstad type talent also, to make the deal work..............Justin Upton is THAT good!!!!
