Marlins03

There is plenty of time, but the Marlins can't keep losing to teams like the Expos. I really think these moves will help. They need to start playing like a playoff caliber team now though... Good things are coming... 488174[/snapback] keyword: Now theres no time for the new players to get used being marlins they have to perform now

don't pigeonhole it into schuerholz vs. moneyball no matter how much stock you put in a stat like RBI, choi is a better offensive talent than juan encarnacion, hands down. a guy who sees .270 / .388 / .498 / 15 HR / 40 rbi (choi) versus .235 / .289 / .411 / 13 HR / 43 rbi (enc) and thinks choi is better offensively doesn't necessarily fall into the "moneyball" group. by the way, another peter gammons quote on the dodgers (yeah, it's worth jack, but its fun anyway): "they've replaced encarnacion with choi. upgraded seriously there." 488155[/snapback] Encarnacion=overrated ever since he started putting good numbers in cincy, and he became really overrated after last year

CJ sucks though. its arguable whether or not they would of done well in teh playoffs. they only have the what 3rd best record in baseball? 488079[/snapback] yeah but CJ was the best replacement he thought he could get for Lo Duca although I fail to see how a guy who struggles at coors can do much better at Dodger stadium, and Randy would have done wonders for the rotation, but I think LA's GM(cant spell his name) is overated he was supposed to be a genius and so far hes being far from that.

When does valdez start? 488043[/snapback] I think it'll be tuesday

i dont like the trade still. but when the emotion wears off. i think i'll like it in the long run. 488004[/snapback] Same here, I really miss Penny and I was really liking Choi, but Hopefully it will all work out.

the dodgers are stupid. i have yet to truly figure out what they have just done and/or why they essentially blew that team up. 487993[/snapback] I think it was because they felt they would not win with that team in the playoffs but it all totally blew up in the faces when they could not land the big unit and CJ

yea the braves cant go on much longer, they have been lucky, with chipper and andruw jones sucking they got no talent, just some rooks, giles is injury bound, hampton has been a cagar, they will fall apart soon, but we have to play better wit them and other teams like the expos for one 488006[/snapback] what the hell? :plain 488011[/snapback] is true, everything just going right for them right now I hope that ends soon if not beinfest didnt do too little, but he did it too late I hope that that dosent become the case

now that everything is over with the trades and the new guys are here we will start to role tomorrow. hopefully the mets can actually win a game. JP Castillo Lo Duca------ :thumbup Lowell Cabrera Conine Encarnacion Gonzo Pavano We will Win!!!!!! Tomorrow 488002[/snapback] I like it, but I would switch Sea Bass and Encarnacion

Anyone else notice this.. Bagwell, Kent, Biggio, all not in the Astros lineup? And Pettitte got scratched and DO got the spot start. I know it says Pettitte wasn't "ready" to start, but looks really weird. 486920[/snapback] Fire Sell????

Dodgers were stuck with him and in first place... 486903[/snapback] They have a better offense than us. 486906[/snapback] we now have five guys hitting over .300 and alex and niner have being heating up

Dodgers were stuck with him and in first place... 486903[/snapback] thats a very good point

I hope we get Walker, I dont want to be stuck with Encarnacion

The waiver deadline is still in the future, we can still make moves this month 486866[/snapback] I agree I doubt anyone in their right mind would pickup Walker in waivers, maybe Boston will, but I doubt it.

Hes likle a righty specialist almost. Rightys cant touch him (.189 ERA against righties in last 3 years) 486731[/snapback] good thing theres alot of rightys then. :thumbup

Interesting to note - Nunez was rumored to be included in that Walker deal.? But recent reports have re-surfaced that the Walker deal is back on...I wonder what is going on.? Something is happening. 486643[/snapback] Maybe the marlins will ship Encarnacion Seanez and a minor leaguer for Walker 486662[/snapback] i doubt it seanez is worthless to the rockies, he is old you could be on to something if you said nate bump or ben howard though 486672[/snapback] Maybe is Nate Bump, he Would be PERFECT for the rockies their looking for all the skinkerballers they can get their hands on
