    What happened to Mike Piazza for catcher? Piazza did nothing for this team in the week or so he was here. Personally I would go with CJ over Pudge. CJ won 3 GGs here (I believe the first to do so as a Marlin),was an AS, helped us win the Series in '97 by setting MLB records for consecutive games without an error or passed ball, and was a local boy (Ft Pierce) that was the team's first ever draft pick (out of The U). Pretty impressive Marlins bio. Although he helped us win a WS in '03, Pudge signed a 1 year contract with us and made it known it was because he wanted to show he could stay healthy for an entire season (he hadn't been able to do that in previous recent years) and that he could contribute to a team. It was well known if the opportunity presented itself he would go for the $$$ after that season. It did, and he did. And I would question whether Cabrera should being included in the OF. I know he was a fav of most, but... However, seeing 3B should go to Lowell, I guess Miggy should be included someplace. I'm going to argue that aquireing Piazza was more important then any other Trade we did in that firesale. CJ, Sheff, Bonilla were all making massive amounts of money at the time, and we got their medicore declining talent at the plate off the books to start. (Sheff found the clear, but CJ and Bonilla never had a good year at the plate after 97) Then we got a HOF Caliber Catcher, who we traded for one of the most dominant pitchers in the league for 5 years and a CF who netted us in another trade the catalyst for the 2003 World Series. Look at all the facts. Piazza wiped salary AND helped build for the future in 2003. Not bad for a guy who played 5 games, and got his only triple of the season with the Marlins. The guy hated being traded by the dodgers, but he was upset to be traded from the Marlins too. He's a self professed Miami Native, and wanted to play for us last year (Rabelo/Treanor). Thank God Baker proved to be a valuable asset. Basically- Cj, Bo, Sheff for Piazza, Zeile Piazza for AJ and Preston Wilson Preston Wilson for Juan Pierre. Zeile Netted us 2 Minor League Prospects also I understand your arguement, but do you think Mike made a bigger impact to the fish then CJ or Pudge I don't get his argument at all...We didn't get Burnett in the Piazza deal we got Burnett in the Leiter deal before the 1998 season even started. You could argue however that we got Ed Yarnall in that deal and we ended up flipping him for Mike Lowell.
  2. I say use him after the game to clean up the stands.
  3. Any idea if you can buy this at the box office and save the service charges?

    If it gets to the point where Maybin needs to be sent down then I wouldn't mind Fredo at SS, Cody in CF and Hanley in either LF or RF with Hermida in the other. If they are going to change Hanley to another position, that is an offseason issue. A change in position is preferably an offseson issue but not necessarily as far as this FO is concerned. Think of Miguel in '03. And Hanley is a far better athlete than Miguel ever was. Wasn't Miggy brought up because our 3B at the time (and then won the GG) was injured, then moved to the OF to keep his bat in the lineup after Mikey came back? Can't see how that is even remotely comparable. But like I said before, I do agree with one point; if a move happens, it is an off season move. He was brought up to play left field for Todd Hollandsworth in May, then when Lowell went down in Sept. he played third till lowell came back and then was put back in the outfield but in right.

    There's really no way to get this town interested in baseball without a T-Rex throwing out the first pitch:

    Today is great because I get to wake up and realize for today the Phillies are the worst team in baseball.

    This team has seemed high on Penn for a while, he was the centerpiece of a trade rumor in 05 for Lowell and Burnett if memory serves me right.

    Sadly I was waiting for this thread to happen since the Yanks signed Tex yesterday i'm surprised it took this long
  13. I personally think it's really cool that CT is at the winter meetings that's someone a lot of us would love to be around, let the guy enjoy it because you know you'd be talking about it if you had the chance.
  14. The Marlins are still reportedly looking at trading for Max Ramirez, with Ryan Tucker and Aaron Thompson coming up as possibilities to go to Texas. The Rangers would only get one of the two, but either would be a decent haul for Ramirez, a player who probably isn't in their long-term plans. The Marlins might be the only team out there that sees Ramirez as a catcher. Source: Hot Stove Blog
  15. The Palm Beach Post reports a rumor that the Marlins have offered shortstop Robert Andino to the Pirates for catcher Ronny Paulino. Paulino, 27, would likely split time with John Baker in Florida. Andino, 24, hit .206 with two homers and nine RBI in 63 at-bats after a September call-up last season. He's better known for his defense. -Rotoworld
