Marlins Claim Dan Meyer From Oakland

'A former top prospect in the Braves organization, Meyer was traded to the Athletics in December 2004 as the centerpiece of the Tim Hudson deal. Meyer has struggled during a 19-game major league career that's spanned three seasons, going 0-6 with a 7.63 ERA, including a 0-4 and 7.48 ERA in 11 games (four starts) with the Athletics in 2008....

'Though Meyer, 27, has yet to put it together in the majors, his minor league numbers are promising. During the past two seasons he allowed fewer hits (216) than innings pitched (238) for the River Cats in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. Meyer also struck out 214 and walked 103 during that 43-game (41-start) span.'
