NY--Girardi--25

Any chances of Lo Duca coming to the Bronx? If so, what would the Marlins and their fans want in return? Looks like he will be traded, so might as well trade him to the American League. I think he would be perfect here. He is very versatile (can play 1st and the corner outfield spots), he can catch half of the time and give Jorge a rest, he can play 1st to spell Giambi a day or so (that would be Phillips' job though), the outfield to spell Sheff a day (likely would go to Crosby though). He could be very vital in a game where multiple players get hurt or a really long extra innings game. What do you guys think? Any chance of him coming here? Yea...we'll give him to you for Robinson Cano and Wang.... lol why would the fish ever want to trade anyone to the yanks, they have no farm system and their bench players r getting paid more than our star player. It's called being a troll :thumbdown Its not called being a Troll. Its called asking what you guys think of it. Our farm system really isnt as bad as it is made out to be. Our lower lever affiliates win their respective league's championshi s lot. I dont know exactly how many, but at least 2 won it this year. The SI Yanks, and the GCL Yanks. The Tampa Yanks might have as well. We have plenty of young talent to give, and while I am against trading away the prospects, one or 2 guys wouldnt hurt. Bronson Sardinha (sp) (Outfielder, played pretty good int he AFL this year) Tyler Clippard (good young pitcher) Kevin Thompson (Projected to be a good CFer, but Yanks are likely going to keep Melky Cabrera over Thompson) Kevin Reese (good OF with some pop. Still needs some experience) What do you think aboutthe combination of two of the above listed and some $$$. We know how bad the Marlins could use some $$$. Also, if you want, I would have no problem giving up Tony Womack, you could use him for 2nd if you trade Castillo. We would likely pay his salary too. Tell me what you think

The Twins wanted half of Lowell's contract paid for by the Marlins during the Lohse negotiations. Why is everyone so excited about possibly getting a guy with an 89-93 record and 4.28 era for his career? Why was/is everyone excited about Burnett? Some people feel our talented pitching prospects can not handle filling three spots on a rotation of a playoff contender. Vazquez comes at a price that is much more in line with his talent than most of the free agent options. And wants to come here, okay, some place like here. Which begs the question, what would the DBacks give up to make it happen? They are losing Vasquez. How much would they pay for good prospects? Who knows. On the other hand, the DBacks are building for the future, IMO. Maybe they try to trade Glaus to the Twins to get some good prospects and put Lowell at 3B for two years while they build for the future. If they could get enough good prospects from us and the Twins, maybe they'd give up Glaus and stick Lowell at 3B while they work their young guys (like Drew) into the starting lineup over the next two years.
