Double U

Ugueth Urbina has been traded to the Flordia Marlins for three minor league players, only one of them a pitcher. The question in my mind is why Flordia thought they had to replace Looper in the closer role. Yes, Urbina is a better strikeout pitcher, but Looper has only given up 1 HR to Urbina's six. I'm not really sure it improves the team, although Looper and Urbina should make a really good 8th-9th inning combo.

It is good to see a team like the Marlins trying to win instead of dumping players.
