"The Marlins re-signed Greg Dobbs on Tuesday, giving him $3million over two years.

They agreed to a trade for Carlos Zambrano on Wednesday, and there went Dobbs' at-bats.

Dobbs is one of the best pinch hitters going, and it speaks to the Marlins' seriousness about winning that they brought back the 33-year-old third baseman, who spent 2011 with them after being with the Phillies from 2007 to 2010. But I'm seeing 2012 as the year when Ozzie Guillen empowers Zambrano in a way the Cubs never would.

The dude really can hit. He's only a career .241 hitter but in a small sample hit .318 last season, including a .389 average and 1.088 OPS from the right side of the plate."
