Glad we got some value from Volstad. I don't see us realistically going after another starting pitcher, unless we can ship Nolasco out and get Oswalt, but I don't think the front office is really looking to do so. Right now, we're probably waiting for Cespedes.

Opening Night just got that more interesting. Is Pujols off of the table with Buehrle's signing?

Still like to see some confirmation, but that looks pretty legit. Samson is about to go on 790 The Ticket Any way I can listen to it online??

Wait, CAN we still get Wilson?????

mehh I'd consider leaving Gaby at 1st than spending big $$ on Fielder if Pujols doesn't sign. On to Wilson and Buerhle Sign Fielder trade Gaby for SP? Ever since we got into signing Pujols.. I'm spoiled. I want a big time hitter. Which pitcher is on the market? Gio Gonzalez? or maybe a sign and trade?

So the last hour was a lie?

Sooo if we get Wilson are we done with Pooholes?

Hanley Ramirez is like that little kid that gets a $100 toy for Christmas, doesn't like the toy, and proceeds to ruin everyone's Christmas.

Would have to hope the Fish just continue to splurge and give javy whatever he wants on a 1 year deal. Adding Buehrle + Javy - Hensley/Volstad would give us 1 nasty team for around $110-$115MM. We need Vazquez, would help a lot with starting pitching and could just go after Buerhle rather than Wilson.

Any SP we can trade Gaby for? I know he doesn't take up much payroll but if we DO get Pooholes, we need another starting pitcher. A package of Gaby and Hensley/Volstad I could deal with.

Are we sure there is something after this?.....

I doubt this is a baseball-related move. .249 or whatever is not a good average, but considering the state of the Marlins right now, we should be leaving Morrison, hailed as part of the new core, up at the MLB level to just use the rest of the season as practice to fine-tune his skills. Any other player would stay, especially with 17 or so home runs. Seems to me like they are trying to make an attitude adjustment which is fine by me. Morrison needs to be brought down to earth a little, the little charity organization thing seems to be the straw that broke the camel's back.

As far as I'm concerned, Mike Stanton is already the face of this franchise. This ^^^^ Speaking to children at a baseball camp I attended, they all knew who Mike Stanton was, his swing, everything... they treated him like a chuck norris-like legend. Hanley being traded would screw up any of the casual fans we have though, so I do not see it happening, unless we trade him for a superstar type player and bring another in for 2012. I'd much rather trade Morrison, whose big mouth stirs up too much IMO.

There's an international draft?
