November 3, 2008 Dan Meyer has been claimed off waivers by the Marlins, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:Meyer has played parts of three seasons in the majors with Atlanta and Oakland. He is 0-6 lifetime with an ERA of 7.63 over 19 games, including seven starts. He will not likely push for a role in the Marlins' rotation next season.
September 7, 2008 The Oakland Tribune reports that Meyer will be demoted to long relief with Sean Gallagher returning to the starting rotation this week.
Our View:He has struggled for the A's this season and is not a fantasy commodity for the short term.
September 4, 2008 Dan Meyer had a rough outing on Thursday night as he was pounded for eight runs, seven earned, in the Athletics 9-6 loss to the Royals. Meyer allowed nine hits and two walks while recording just 10 outs.
Our View:Meyer has allowed 22 runs over 13 innings spanning his last four appearances, and that's good for a 15.23 ERA folks. Stay far away from this lefty, he is totally lost at the moment as he has been for his entire major league career.
September 1, 2008 Oakland pitcher Dan Meyer, recently optioned to the minor leagues, will return on Thursday to make a start against the Royals, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

August 30, 2008 Dan Meyer has been optioned to Double-A Midland, according to the AP. Andrew Brown has also been transferred from the 15 to the 60-day DL.
