Hustles

I thought I heard something about Bush saying that he does not want to be drafted by the Packers. Besides, with the emergence of Gado and the return of Green, I don't really see them needing a running back, despite how "special" Bush is going to be. I suspect the Packers go Offensive Line or Defense with whatever pick they have.

I'd love to get Byrnes because that would going to games more exciting. Byrnes is a fun player to watch who sacrifices his body to make the plays. Yeah, thats what I was thinking. I mean, we may not have a winning record, but the Marlins would be well represented on Baseball Tonight's web jems :thumbup

Too old, too injury prone.....just stick Aguila there and be done with it.

just what we needed

Wow, this hurts. I can just feel the 03' world series bandwagon I jumped onto is getting a whole lot roomier.

Joey Gathright: His speed is world-class and his Minor League stats say that he could be an OBP machine at the top of the line-up. Has improved his defensive greatly and is at least average there now. Would thrive if ever given a full shot at being a starting CF for another team, he'd end up being the Rays 4th or 5th OF(due to the organization's glut of OFers) if they decided to keep him. His only drawback is his Low Slg Pct. and knack for being a "glorified singles hitter" with little or no bunting skills See Bold: I don't like the sound of that. I've been on the fence about trading pierre....but now I'm getting the feeling that we should keep him. I'm not getting blown away by any of these offers so I'd rather take my chances on the guy rebounding back to form.

I have to give the guy credit for not lashing out against the Marlins, pretty classy considering what they did and are doing.

yes, i will still support them. Maybe its a bit easier for me since I live up here in PA and they are not my "hometown" team in the first place, but it would still to be hard to call them something different. Besides, I really have no team to fall-back on anyway. Maybe if they go to Portland they can at least keep the fish trend. Anyone for the Portland Salmon?

I say yes. Marlins seem to do better as underdogs anyway. No one outside the Marlins community will be giving this team a chance and thats when they seam to be the most dangerous even despite their youngness. and like Ramp said,next season should be alot of fun, def looking forward to it.

dang, this sucks.... I'm really concerned for Willis now, because of the enormous pressure of carrying the rotation. While I have no doubt he can do it, its really hard to see the rotation without Beckett and still seeing this team being competative. But whats done is done and even though I jumped on the Marlins bandwagon in 03', I'm not jumping off. This is my team and I'll ride the rollercoaster with them. Thank you Josh and Mike for the brief memories you gave me as a Marlins fan. Now go out and win your 20 games Josh and show everyone that was a fluke season Mike.

keep up the bridge burning A.J.

I'm fearful now because it seems that all our eggs are in one basked (Girardi) and from what I've read, he isn't overly anxious about coming here, and in my mind it's either Tampa Bay or waiting one more year (when he'll either get the Cub or Yankee job in '07) for Girardi. Concerning to say the least... my concern as well

To be honest, I said that basically out of favoritism. I can't claim that mordy is the better player over easly.

so yeah... more penalties, cant hit an open receiver downfield, no running game (well im giving the tampa d the credit) and we let Griese and Simms tear us up along with pittman. yeah that was pleasant. Yeah, but not totally unexpected. It's a transition year for them and though I expect them to win every game as a fan, the reality is that they aren't that good as a whole. That steelers game made me physically ill, I haven't seen a Steeler QB play that bad since "Slash" was behind center. I mean really, how can you fumble the ball away in OT like that :banghead

I'd feel better if we signed Mordecai as our backup middle infielder and let Easly go. Heck, if we don't resign Gonzo then maybe we can split time at SS with Mordecai and Andino. Then the season after have Andino take the spot full time. I also hope we make a real effort to keep Jones around.

I say Lowell at SS :lol

Fredi please....

Fredi

How old is Fredi?

haha, brighten my day up a little :lol

You make a strong argument for Mancha. I am torn between Mancha, Girardi, and Gonzalez. Same here, I would be happy if one of these 3 made it.....just don't give the job to Lou.

Interesting for sure....but I'm unaware of Macha's style of managing....I see he has a winning record in three years with the A's so that has to count for something I would think.

I thought that was just for this year, besides, I don't see that being much of a road-block if the Marlins wanted him. I'm pretty sure his contract allows him to leave for MLB if offered a deal anyway. And to answer your earlier question, I like Bobby V. Just make sure to keep the fake moustaches out of the dugout. :lol

Dontrelle, with Jones a close 2nd In fact, I might vote Jones for The Cy Young. While I fully Believe Dontrelle was the teams most valuable player, Without Jones, Dontrelle doesn't get 20+ wins.

wow, 3 series against Philly down the stretch, that could be interesting.
