Penny's complete game shutout puts Fish in First Brad Penny, following in Ryan Dempster's and A.J. Burnett's footsteps, had an amazing start on Thursday, pitching a complete game shoutout while giving up only four hits, guiding the Marlins to a 1-0 victory which put the team on top of the NL East with a .667 winning percentage. The Fish's lone run came on Derrek Lee's third homer in three games (putting him on pace for 162 roundtrippers...).

The Marlins claimed shortstop Wilson Valdez, 23, off waivers from the Montreal Expos. Regarded as an outstanding defensive player, Valdez batted .251 with 21 doubles, two home runs, 30 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 123 games last season between two Class-A affiliates. He became expendable to the Expos when it was revealed this winter that the Dominican was two years older than he previously claimed. Article/Sun-Sentinel; Photo/MLB

David Polakoff - Antonio Alfonseca, the only remaining player on the roster to have been in Game 7 of the 1997 World Series and stay with the team, hasbeen traded to the Chicago Cubs along with Matt Clement. In return, the Fish got 3 pitchers (Julian Tavarez, Jose Cueto and Dontrelle Willis) and a catcher (Ryan Jorgensen). Of the four, only Tavarez will start the year in the bigs. Tavarez, who was 10-9 with a 4.52 ERA, can start and relieve, but is expected to open the season as the number four starter. ***TALK ABOUT THIS ON OUR MESSAGE BOARD!*** Photo illustration ©marlinsrule.net

Smith, who was the Marlins' rookie of the year in 2000, was expected to be the number two starter for the 2001 season before an injury kept him out for a good part of the season. Smith was in competition with Michel Tejera and Kevin Olsen for the final bullpen spot this spring. Photo/MLB
