  1. A similar deal is already dead so why talk about it? 870076[/snapback] maybe this would get one of the teams to budge
  2. what would you think about this deal Marlins get Rivas Rincon Mays Arroyo Red Sox get: Romero Lowell Burnett Twins: Bill Mueller Kevin Millar John Halama Alan Embree pitching propect (Marlins)
  3. I like the deal.. could move Vargas and Olsen back down to the minors and wouldn't allow for Valdez to return to the rotation, thank god. Could even keep one of the kids up for LH bullpen help if need be. Hopefully this would allow Hermida to be called up. 869001[/snapback] Why do we need to send Vargas and Olsen back to the minors? They've pitched well so far. 869020[/snapback] when valdes comes back we don't send olsen and vargas down we send valdes and riedling down :thumbup
  4. How were were buyers last year when we gave up a good starter and productive firstbaseman for a starting catcher, reliever and defensive specialist; and now this year we're sellers because we're trading a good starter for a platoon player and relievers? 869793[/snapback] Defensive specialist? Enc? Ha! :lol 869858[/snapback] encarnacion only had 1 or none errors in '03, not sure about '04, and '05 i certainly agree with you. but of course his bat is really helping
  5. hmm... well lets hope the marlins dont see it, and it doesnt make a difference! Seriously though, it is something that ESPN talked on in aprilmay, the pitching declining in fla would happen, i still dont believe it, im hoping that we will remain strong for the months too come, we will hjave to wait and see, willies starts tonight if you want a preview.. hes due for a big game... 869983[/snapback] i dont see it either. but then again i am full of so much optimism its coming outta my arse. i refuse to lose!! the don has never been more due for a huge win then tonight. im still crying over that 9-0 lead he gave up last year against the giants. 869991[/snapback] i still feel bad for him about that...and after Dallimore's grandslam was ushered into the stands by Wil Cordero....that' when i began to really dislike Cordero. And also when he struck out with two outs in the ninth inning,when the marlins needed only one more hit to get doughnuts
  6. Another enlightening subject. a) are they really needed b) do we need one lay it out there. again spam this topic with idiocy and i will delete your crap and possibly suspend you for being an idiot, cause well thats me. :hat 870009[/snapback] i don't think so cause a lot of teams will put batters in there order right lefty right etc. if our lefty specialist has to be perisho i say no
  7. I'm not bashing AJ but... - he is 6-6 this season with a 3.68 ERA. - he was 7-6 last season with a 3.68 ERA. - he is 43-44 lifetime with an ERA of 3.80. - the last three seasons he is 6-13 4.38 ERA on the road. - 2004 he was 1-6 5.09 ERA on the road. - this season 0-3 4.00 ERA vs Braves - this season he is 2-4 4.17 ERA vs Nats, Phillies and Braves combined(games in September) AJ is a fine pitcher but has never won a big game(September games in 2003 and playoffs) and never pitched in one for that matter. He has been a .500 pitcher his entire career. He has not been a rock solid pitcher on the road and he does not have stellar results against three of the teams we will play most in the final month of the season. Some people act like we are trading away Pedro, Clemens, Halladay, Oswalt or Carpenter. Naaah, we're trading away a cross between Kris Benson and Carlos Zambrano. He is a # 2-3 starter on most teams. Among the teams rumored to be interested in acquiring him...he is a #4 starter on the WSox, # 3 on the Jays with Halladay, # 3 on the NYY and a # 2 on the Tigers, RSox and O's strictly from a statistics level. I'm not bashing AJ, just trying to be realistic. A # 2-3 starter coming off major surgery, been on the DL 4 times and will be a FA at seasons end. 869713[/snapback] true. but AJ's best years are still ahead of him
  8. i'm kinda of worried about this. dontrelle has never pitched well in san fran. probably cause of the pressure of knowing so many people there. and he has never had a good second half. hopefully he pitches well
  9. I'm saying this half in jest, maybe he should give up being a power pitcher and learn to throw a knuckleball. Knuckeballer's who are any good usually have long and successful careers. 868828[/snapback] OK here's kind of a stupid question, but it's something I've thought about for awhile. Why is it that power pitchers never learn knuckleballs? Could you imagine, say, Josh with a 96 mph fastball, sick curve, and then maybe 3-4 times a game float in a knuckleball to completely throw off the hitters' timing? Just curious. 868991[/snapback] arm speed/arm angle just lo at how slow tim wakefields arm come in through the zone
  10. OFFENSE during the month of july in 14 games the marlins have averaged 6.78 runs per game...this hasn't directly translated into wins but thats because the pitching staff has had an era of 7.14. thats yankee bad... but certainly good news to see the marlins start to play their type of baseball, especially with jp wreaking havoc on the bases again. 868768[/snapback] before the pitching was real good and the offense was inconsistent and now it's just visa versa
  11. Willis, Beckett, Burnett, Moehler... I like out chances in the next 4 games. 869470[/snapback] of course that's assuming that Burnett is traded
  12. Here is the link to the site: http://msn.foxsports.com/name/HD 868923[/snapback]
  13. Send down Santos and put Olsen in the pen. If Vargas does poorly in his next start, put Olsen back in the rotation. Who knows how Valdez will pitch, so don't count on anything. Vargas or Olsen could very well be better, so don't automatically give it to him. 869196[/snapback] or we could keep santos olsen and vargas in the pen just send down one of our bench players. cause we don't need 5 more like 3. cause willis can certainly hit and so far so can vargas. but seriously if we had to send a pitcher down it would be : give me an r give me an i give me an e give me a d give me a l give me an i give me an n give me a g and what's that spell RIEDLING!!!!! santos is a helluva lot better than riedling trust me. i'm probably better than him and i only throw 60 MPH.
  14. Well the A's definetly wouldnt do Vargas for Zito so you dont have to worry 869323[/snapback] i know ...that' a good thing
  15. "i like the red sox trade personally" me 2
