DODGERS, MARLINS MAKE BIG TRADE

Marlins get:
Paul Lo Duca
Guillermo Mota
Juan Encarnacion

Dodgers get:
Hee Seop Choi
Brad Penny
Bill Murphy

I think this is a great trade for Florida. They added a catcher who can hit, a lights-out set up man and if Encarnacion can swing the bat for the Marlins like he did last year it will work out even better.

For the Dodgers, they trade their leader and one of their most recognizable players in Lo Duca. I know people will say that leadership and all of that stuff is overrated, and it can be overrated to a certain extent, but I think whenever you trade a guy like Lo Duca it's a risky proposition, just because of what he means to that team. With the trade putting Choi at first base that means that Shawn Green will move back to RF.
