Olsen Not Worried About Samson
Back in August, Marlins President David Samson said that Scott Olsen would not be welcome on the team if convicted on charges of DUI and resisting arrest. Almost a month later, Olsen responded to Samson's remarks.
Olsen doesn't think Samson has any say in player personnel decisions and didn't seem too concerned with Samson's comments. He said he wouldn't be surprised to be dealt but expects to stay because he's cheap.
The 22 year-old southpaw has had an awful sophomore season - all his peripheral stats have gone in the wrong direction. After posting a 4.04 ERA last year, his ERA has never gotten below 4.55 in any month this year. He's still talented, and the Marlins would certainly be able find a few interested teams. But it just seems a bad time to trade him.

Scott Olsen could be the best pitcher available this off season considering he is cheap and still has great potential. I'm not saying he is the best, he could just turn out to have the best upside out of any pitcher available this off season.

I completely agree. Last year right now he would have been very difficult to get. I love his stuff I think with the right pitching coach this guy can be a stud.

like I've been saying since day one, Elijah Dukes for Scott Olsen. Why not?

Man this guy is an egghead.... The old cliche definately defines him to a tee.... Million dollar arm, 10 cent head.....

Its funny you say that, I have heard Ron Darling use the exact same phrase when talking about Olsen. He needs to grow up, quick.

The Elijah Dukes for Scott Olsen is a horrible trade. Tampa Bay and Miami aren't that far apart. Elijah needs to go somewhere north. Plus Marlins could get someone better than that for Olsen. But if we trade away Dontrelle I highly doubt they will trade away Olsen otherwise the pitching rotation will consist of lots of #4 and #5 starters with maybe a #3 starter as our ace.

If the Marlins didn't trade away their SP they would have ended up with Beckett, Burnett, Penny and Willis. Awesome satring four then there fifth would have been Johnson, Snachez, Olsen or Nolasco. Would have been the best pitching staff in all of baseball hands down.

But do you realize that some of those players came over in trades for those SP
