I personally think it is West again. I think a lefty in the rotation is extremely important. I think West will come back up also I agree...

Compare all the teams trades since Loria/Sampson/Beinfest been in power, and look at which have worked for us, and which have not... Most have not. The only trade which worked for both teams (more for Boston since they won a world series) was the Hanley trade. Other then that I dare you to find a good trade that Admin has pulled off that we actually got solid major leaguers in return or players who got good enought o Merritt the trade being good for us more then the other team. Don't hate on me for being critical of the front office it's just facts...

Would have been nice to have got a difference maker in the line up, and a closer before the deadline... To bad the front office went on the cheap.

I love how everyone mentions the mistakes...what about the great moves this front office has made? lol seriously? What good trades has this front office ever made? I mean should we go down the list of good players we have traded away, and got back either garbage or a player who was below avarage at best? I mean let's not open this can of worms please lol let's not totally make the front office look like a total joke... They do that on their own with each move. Wait til Thompson is in the majors as a starter for the Nats, an Nick Johnson is starting for another team, and once again we look bad with our face in the mud.

lol yea Another K for Bonifacio showing us why he sucks, and just how bad this trade was... Way to prove us right Emilio!

Yeah it's no secret that the Marlins got the short end of both deals they did with the Nationals! It's like they didn't care about at least getting even value I mean look at the numbers Willingham has up this year! How would a .304 avg with 17HR's & 42Rbis bat fit into the line up right now for the Marlins? It's exactly what we needed when we got Nick Johnson who's a professional hitter which means he's just an avarage player who gets on base some but is nowhere near star level. Willingham is putting up excellent numbers, and with each game keeps making the trade of him for Bonifacio, and his whoppin .248 with 1hr and 28rbis oh, and by the way! Willingham has a much better glove 4 erros while in the OF/1b compared to Bonerface and his 15errors while at 3rd/ss/of so the bottom line is the marlins made a horrific trade sending a starting pitcher, and a power hitting OF for a guy who simply will never be a major league ball player. This trade could go down as bad a move as the Cabrera move! We already all have come to the conclusion that Bonifacio stinks as a ball player the jury is still out on all the guys in the Cabrera trade but that was a stinker also. Miller has done nothing but get hurt, and rocked everytime he pitches, the hopper has been decent at times out of the pen but is not a starter, and has sucked every time he's started a game, and now is hurt, and Maybin... Well Maybin was horrific during his month here but he's done well in the minors. Let's hope he doesnt become one of these guys who are awesome in the minors but they can't ever make it in the majors, and make that transition. As for the rest in that trade anyone seen them at all??? Rebelo, and the rest of the no names? Either way both trades, and the trade of a top prospect like Thompson for a guy who is not the one who could help us in Nick Johnson who doesn't answer any single one of the holes on this club right now shows me that Admin Beinfest for all the credit he gets is a horrible GM when it comes to making trades... He simply is no good at trading ball players. Because they didn't know how healthy he was, and once he proved he was healthy look at his numbers... He should still be in teal. Bad trade regardless I mean it's not like he's got a 30million dollar contract from the Nationals lol We could have afforded him. The front office is just extreamly cheap, and stupid when it comes to trades. Yep I agree 100% Yea well since he was traded the Marlins have spent all year looking to replace his bat in the line up so he wasn't so expendable afterall... And Maybin is not the answer I guarantee that when he comes back up he will slump again. He isn't a major league ball player... You can tell by looking at some young guys who's got it, and who does not, and who's all hype! And Maybin is all hype.

Actually that would be a move im all for! He has some up side if he could stay healthy... But is he so hurt he wont be ready until spring really?

hmmmmmmm we do need a 5th starter!

CRAZY! lol wait... :confused

Here's a crazy thought! Mark Prior was released by the Padres yesterday! Maybe we could give him a chance see if he has anything left in the tank! Thoughts?

There's been several threads on this before. My top favorites are: Bacardi Field and Burger King stadium (nicknamed the Whopper). Oh man we could have "The Hopper" pitching at "the whopper" in 2012!!!! My life is now complete... haha Can't we just call it "Spaceball One" ?

Hermida: works hard and plays hard. Seriously the first time I've ever heard this. Ever. http://gaytmndgonnam...weat.ytmnd.com/ hahahaha yea now thats funny!

My Toes curl just thinking we could have had Adrian Gonzalez, and Heath Bell... To bad we didn't pull the trigger but hey we didnt lose Stanton in a dumb trade for a rental player... Michael Stanton looks like he's going to be a beast! And I like West I think he's going to be a fine starter it was his first time up, and he wasn't ready the kid is a year away from being ready but a taste of the majors was a right thing so he could want it more... Next time he comes up I bet he will be lights out. The Big Hurk has looked good so far lets hope it continues.... I like that kid a lot hope he does well.
