Benitez over Smoltz? no chance Smoltz has better k/9ip, more k's, better whip, more saves, better era Smoltz and Gagne... Wagner is a close 3rd... everyone else is far away take out benitez's april month, he has better stats then smoltz, except a few ks

They have Alex S. at SS, and then they would have Lowell at third... There would be no room for Jose... I would think that because he is cheap and maybe considered somewhat of a hitter, he would be included in any part of a deal... hernandez has played 3rd before

Tim Kurkjian was just on ESPNews and he said he still thinks the Cubs will pursue Mike Lowell(meaning Hernandez is just a stop gap)..... but nothing will happen till the All Star Break.... that's it that offer isnt going to work, and the cubs are just trying to build a better team, they have to be dumb to try to offer that as the part of a deal to replace lowell with hernandez. not going to happen, lowells not going anywhere

I bet you, if I had the opprotunity to do what he did with Lowell, I would've had a better story... But it wasn't negitive... yeah it wasnt negative, but you have to admit, if you had an interview with lowell and you did this for a living, that was a stupid article

also jose hernandez cant hti in Coors, what makes you think he can hit at PPS

dam that guy writes liek crap, to much BS, that right there is an article any 12 year old can make in 5-10 mins, and this guy make a career off of it?! lowell - he can hit pitchers all around the strike zone, even some balls for homers, he says hes not a home run hitter, in FIU and A he barely hit any homers thats basically the whole article in one sentence but if anyone knows baseball, most young hitters dont go out and hit crazy amount of homers, they hit a good amount of doubles, which is predicted in the future for many of those doubles to turn in homers, thome for example

to bad gonzlez doesnt have speed to steal bases thats the only thing he lacks, but hes the best and so is lowell and also you dont have to call him mikey, hes grown man

c/o sunsentinel.com Tommy Hutton knew there was something about Dontrelle Willis when he met the rookie pitcher in spring training. "When I went up to him and introduced myself in spring training, I knew there was something special," said Hutton, the Marlins' TV analyst. "That was before I ever saw him pitch. He's respectful and respects the game." advertisement Careerbuilder advertisement Hutton called Monday's one-hitter with Len Kasper on Fox Sports Net and can't wait for Willis' next start. "Since I've been broadcasting Marlins games the past seven years, Dontrelle is without question the biggest breath of fresh air we've had," Hutton said. Willis' past two starts have garnered huge local TV ratings and propelled him into the national spotlight. His start last week in Milwaukee was the highest-rated Marlins game in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area in five years. ESPN's Peter Gammons said Willis "is going to be a folk hero. He's a phenomenon ... he gives us something to follow and fall in love with." The next step is getting Willis on national TV. Willis starts Saturday against the Devil Rays, and Fox has the Game of the Week. But Fox has a big lineup of interleague rivalries -- Yankees-Mets, Cubs-White Sox, Angels-Dodgers -- that it can't dump. ESPN has Sunday, Monday and Wednesday telecasts, but Willis likely won't pitch again until Thursday (at the Mets) or Friday (at the Red Sox). The next possibility is Wednesday, July 2, if Willis' turn comes up again against the Braves at Pro Player Stadium. The perfect date would be Monday night, July 7, against the Cubs -- the team that traded him -- at Wrigley Field. and TV ratings are up when he starts....GO TO THE GAME, GIVE HIM AND THE TEAM YOUR SUPPORT to me i feel this is bad, to much pressure on a rookie, and also if he does bad, the marlins will have to stay with crap like pax, and old times wami... if he does bad, peopel will go back a stereotype the marlins again, i think we should ease him in and not do another AJ, beckett crap again

i stand corrected.... Giles for Adrian Gonzalez and a pitching prospect? not enough probably everyone is a bargain to marlins fans, but when the player starts having a few games bad you hate the guy (pudge, pavano.....) but when CJ, preston, antonio.... were having bad season*s*!! everyone wanted them to stay even though they were getting paid big bucs not even close to enough, unless they get someone good players in return hes not going anywhere. and back to the topic, im about 95% sure were not going to get white.

supposedly Paul Wilson hit Moises Alou... so next time up, Kyle Farnsworth drilled Wilson Wilson charged, Farnsworth met him half way, and suposedly bloodied him up real good cant wait to see highlights wlison only walked a couple steps, farnsworth went basically all the way to home plates (wilson was alittle of homeplate). if farnsworth cant handle a couple words, then hes a little girl

oh also benitez, the past 28 inns (may and june) hes only let in 12 hits, 8 BB 1 run, around 24 ks in the past 25 inns (may and june) for smoltz hes let in 19 hits, 4 runs 4 BB with 28 ks in the past 22.2 inns (may and june) for gagne hes let in 9 hits, 7 runs 5 BB with 43 ks to me benitez has been 2nd best, gagne comes first, smoltz doesnt have BAA or WHIP and k's

i think farns worth just got a good jump and wilson wasnt expecting a fight, and then got tackled and everyone here that says he got his a** kicked or anything, you know if you were in wilsons position, youd be on the floor crying and with paramedics or out cold

dont kno were he went, but i know with calgary in 99, he did so so, he had surgery on his shoulder, maybe he quit or went to an indepent league

I Hope we get Rondell, I Know Luis wil be traded. We already have a good lead off hitter and we dont need another one (even thouh i Like Luis better than Pierre). We can use White in our bench and the Padres can really use Castillo.... its not about lead off hitters, we dont need a lead off hitter, your underrating that 2nd base will be empty, thats a big position to take for someone else besides luis castillo, and that they will probably be really cheap, so experience may be limited

hes not a switch hitter i think he is just righty yeap

Danny that is a simulated baseball league from the looks of it. Look a little closer. We don't have a 71-71 record either. yeap your right, i got mislead, looked so real

hes not a switch hitter

i would tend to not believe it..... based on the crap danny has posted here in his short stay already. ouch that hurts man, i havent said anything derogatory and you start it to me. come to marlins game i will give you a treat

just found out the marlins got Mike Fontenot, suposively a very very good prospect for A nunez and also Josh Willingham, a first baseman with speed this is for single A only, these 2 guys are the wave of the future, are in the category like m. cabrera what the hell are you talking about? Fontenot is still in the Olrioles system i belive. I looked everywhere and I can only find 2 bogus sites that try to predict the future up to 2004 http://www.google.com/search?q=mike+fonten...=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 theres the link I hope youre not dumb enought to think it happened? where did you get that idea? are you an expos fan? i saw atleast 2 sites indicating that we got mike fotenot 2003 15th of june, must be some wrong info, and i believe wilson signed with us

Well, Danny, let?s look at the facts rather than make assumptions based on whatever misconceptions you may have about the team: Fact ? [1]Mariano Rivera, [2]Jorge Posada, [3]Nick Johnson, [4]Alfonso Soriano, [6]Derek Jeter, [8]Bernie Williams, [1]Andy Pettitte, [1]Sterling Hitchcock, [5]Drew Henson, and [9]Juan Rivera are all Yankee farm prospects [obviously, I?m not counting [7]Hideki Matsui as a ?farm prospect?]. Hmm - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9... That looks like a lineup to me. That looks like it MIGHT be every position on the field. Do me a favor please. Name another team in baseball that can field an entire team of their own top quality prospects. It may be a more daunting task than you think? Fact - Arbitration is guided by success, the Yankees have been successfull, the Yankees players have been rewarded for their success by arbitrators, as a result - the Yankees have to pay to keep their own. Welcome to the world of capitalism. If you own a business and have talented employees who enjoy tremendous amounts of success, you better reward them because they have EARNED it and your business will not succeed without them. This is ESPECIALLY true if you KNOW that your employees would be wooed by your biggest competitors. Fact ? The Yankees have traded away more All-Star quality players than any other team in baseball in order to address pressing immediate needs. Ask any Twins fan how the Knoblauch-Guzman trade panned out. Ask any Marlins fan how the Ed Yarnall-Mike Lowell trade panned out. Are you catching all of this? But wait ? there?s more? Fact ? Mike Mussina was CHASED out of Baltimore. The Yankees would have been okay with Duque, but an inescapable opportunity presented itself and Mussina wanted a little revenge on his former team. Fact ? Jason Giambi WOULD have been an A except that they decided that they didn?t want to give their FRANCHISE player a no-trade clause. [and the Yankees would have been ?okay? if they were ?stuck? with Nick Johnson and Tino Martinez at 1st]. So don?t cry the financial game with me. Fact ? The retirement of Paul Oneill necessitated the acquisition of a rf with a good arm [being that Bernie throws like a girl]. Mondesi was the guy they ended up with [incidentally ? a HUGE downgrade from Paulie ? but I digress]. Fact ? The retirement of Scott Brosious necessitated the acquisition of a 3b. Robin Ventura is 147 years old, already has a house in NY, and no other team in baseball wanted him. If you are going to continue to cry the ?big market ? small market,? ?big money ? little money? song, check out a previous post on the topic here entitled ?The Price of Contention:? http://www.marlinbaseball.com/forums/index...wtopic=2754&hl= im not going to even read all this trash info, you poeple took a simple statement tha yankees buy there world series, just look at there salary. you all got off the main topic by far, try to defeat my word. no one was crying or complaining, everyone here gets so touchy

tell me who else can pay over 15 mill a year to jeter, 13 mill to mondesi, 12 mill to williams, 12 mill to mussina, 11.5 to pettitte, 11.4 to giambi, 10.5 to rivera, 8 mill to posada....... and thats only 8 players, they buy there world series besides the dodger and the red sox, no one else can afford to pay salaries like that please dont try anymore attempts to go against my statements with poor backrounds such as this, naming 4 players, 4 players dont take you to the world series

just found out the marlins got Mike Fontenot, suposively a very very good prospect for A nunez and also Josh Willingham, a first baseman with speed this is for single A only, these 2 guys are the wave of the future, are in the category like m. cabrera

http://exposstats.tripod.com/players/mlp/valdez_w.htm SS and he did good with the expos system in AA he had 144 at bats with a 313 avg and 16 stolen bases now in AAA he has 103 at bats with a 291 avg. and 10 stolen bases 25, i supose could take over for castillo, if he leaves just gots to learn how to bunt for a hit like pierre, and read pitchers better for stolen bases also could try to lower his strikeouts for pitching A -Evan Greusel 1.52 era 29.2 inn and 31 SO AA .96 era 9 inn 7 SO

Wilson Valdez

question why would the yankees need klesko? They already have Giambi. he can play OF/DH/1st RH*, barely any DH and 1st
