http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/640 Recent articles about Dan Uggla en-us I’m not going to get into great detail about some of the options the team has, but I’ll name a few. So far this young off-season we’ve heard some trade and free-agency rumors. Some make sense, some are laughable. Dan Uggla- For about a week we’ve been hearing the O’s are actively trying to work a [...] Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:15:12 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/We_do_Have_Options/1582883 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/We_do_Have_Options/1582883 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/We_do_Have_Options/1582883 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/3/4/34b667377964e0f5201cae54371b701d1cca562c/small/Florida_Marlins_Dan_26e4.jpg As we all know Dan Uggla is being shopped by the Marlins, and here is one more report. A general manager who spoke to the Marlins at last week's GM meetings said their No. 1 priority is trading Dan Uggla for cheap, young talent. ``There's a decent market for him,'' the GM said, with the Braves, Orioles and Giants among options. Emilio Bonifacio could replace him at second. ``That's his best defensive position but his bat is still a question,...

Which brings us to an important philosophical question that some posters already have been trying to answer. Which is more important at third base -- offense or defe...

The two teams showing the most interest in Marlins second baseman Dan Uggla would move him to third base. The Giants and Orioles are the clubs in strongest pursuit of Uggla, according to major-league sources. The Red Sox also have inquired, envisioning Uggla as a potential replacement for free agent Jason Bay in left field. Uggla, 29, projects to earn approximately $8 million in arbi...

We hear the Marlins have been getting trade inquiries about Matt Lindstrom and are considering dealing him. One Marlins official said Leo Nuñez seems better-suited to close games. The Marlins lean toward keeping Jorge Cantu (who has drawn interest) but would consider an extraordinary offer. Dan Uggla remains likely to be dealt. It isn't surprisi...

Looks as if the Marlins are leaning toward keeping Chris Coghlan in left field rather than moving him back to his original position at second base. But that doesn't necessarily mean that Dan Uggla gets to stick around. Our best guess is that the Marlins can only afford to keep one player from their arbitration-eligible trio of Uggla,...

With his 30th home run Tuesday, Uggla became the first player in major league history to hit at least 30 home runs in three consecutive seasons while playing at least 100 games at second base.Uggla, Ryne Sandberg, Alfonso Soriano and Chase Utley were the only players to accomplish the f...

He is the second Marlin to record three seasons with 30 or more homers, having hit 31 in 2007 and 32 last year. Ex-Marlin Miguel Cabrera is the other. Cody Ross added his career-high 23rd homer later. All of the above is true, but Danny became the first...

"They're starting with Hanley, and everybody's happy for Hanley. He's set for the rest of his life. Who knows what they're going to do now?"I think it's a great move.

Danny only swings at 18.4% of the pitches outside of the strike zone. I guess that is the reason he leads the team in walks with 43.
