The issue of whether Dan Meyer might be able to rebound and show enough to make the A's next year has become moot: he's been claimed on waivers by the Marlins. He was awful in the bigs with the A's and mediocre in the minors after being the prize piece in the Tim Hudson deal years ago, then quickly hurting his shoulder. It's unfortunate that he's entering the AAA journeyman phase of his career, seeing as how he's all of 27 years old. Hopefully he can show a little something in Florida and salvage a major league career.
