Justin Wayne

Wayne was not terribly impressive in Triple-A, but he was absolutely torched in a brief major league trial. Jeffrey Loria spent a lot of money to sign him and went to the trouble of bringing Wayne south with him, so he'll keep getting chances. We're just not sure he'll ever do anything with them.

Wayne was a Jeff Loria bonus baby when drafted in 2000, so the Marlins insisted he be included in the Cliff Floyd deal. His nifty 2.37 ERA in Double-A before the trade masked a 47:32 K:BB ratio in 99 innings, and the mask came off afterward -- 4.85 ERA for Double-A Portland, then an even uglier 6.35 ERA in two starts for Triple-A Calgary, before an ill-advised September call-up to justify the draft acumen of the Marlins brain trust. He'll be 24 at the start of next season, and seems a long way from regular major league duty.
