Adrian Gonzalez

[miami15]

3 for 4 with a homerun and 3RBI.

Good for him.

[KJC]

Tex has a nice team all they need is arms...

[JBurque]

I thought he just got sent down recently. How long has he been up?

[KJC]

since Teixiera went on the DL

[Marlins97+03WC]

Did you guys see him today. He went 3-4 with two doubles and a monster homerun. I know that we won the world series, but it would have been nice if we could have kept him. instead of trading for Choi, we could have gotten someone else.

[WildMarlinMan2003]

coulda, shoulda, woulda...I'm happy with what has happened and I trust Beinfest. We still have the best record in baseball.

We didn't trade him for Choi. We traded him for Ugueth Urbina who was great when we needed him. And we did it because our bullpen was shaky last year. Would you rather have us win the WS last year, or have a prospect who might not even lead us to a WS? Seriously, I'd take a WS Championship over a good prospect any day. We're still a great team.

Here we go...

 

Adrian Gonzalez is not on the Marlins...please move this garbage to the MLB forum.

 

:banghead

[TarHeel324]

we bolstered our bullpen, we won a WS, we got a great 1B anyways

and the fish still kick ass

 

no regrets from that trade

:banghead And there's already a topic on there, too. :lol

[JMLinkinPark]

Jason Stokes > Adrian Gonzalez

 

IMO

 

have kept it that since 02

[Mabdul Doobakus]

I don't have a problem with this thread being in the Marlins forum, since it's basically about the Marlins. No one would give a crap otherwise. Some of you may not give a crap anyway.

 

Look, it's very simple...we don't make that trade, we don't win the World Series. That makes it a good trade FOR ALL TIME. I don't care if Adrian Gonzalez goes on to be better than Babe Ruth. We won the World Series. End of discussion.

 

That said, I can't help but root against him. I'm pretty jealous. He's 21, he's in the majors, he's got a home run, and he's probably going to be pretty good. The future would look even sweeter if he were around.

[RockyMountainMarlin]

Didn't Adrian play SS? Is he already in the majors?

I was shocked when I heard we packaged him in the Urbina deal. We won the WS so I think it was a brilliant move, moreso because he had trouble hitting after his injury.

[Miggy Cab Taxi Co.]

Adrian's the last great Sea Dog I have to hold on to...

agreed... theres no need in being anally retentive. this does have something to do with the marlins, unlike most threads in the MLB forum, and the discussion is certainly pertinent to the marlins and to the posters on this board, so i dont mind it being here.

 

 

i saw the highlights on espn and it looked like the rangers had a liftoff-fest that game. i must say, this kid is off to a pretty impressive start in limited play time.

[Shaq-Man]

Didn't Adrian play SS?

he's a 1b, and i'm pretty sure he was that in HS too

Exactly!

Would we have won the Series without Urbina? Maybe, but we did, and I don't think worrying about the future at that point would be reasonable.

[FutureGM]

I could care less about Adrian Gonzalez. We won the World Series, and we look good without him. Next question.

[fanofthefish]

I'm glad to see him doing well he was always good about signing autographs. Sometimes trades work great for both teams and even though the Marlins part was short lived it worked out well for them. No complaints and keep up the great job Adrian.

[FishFanPR]

Is he playing pro??? I thought he was in AAA.

[Clapinski02]

He was called up when Teixeira was placed on the DL.

[Das Texan]

adrian gonzalez is not a marlin anymore.

 

 

this belongs on the mlb section.

[Heckeroo]

wow two of the exact same topics in the same forum

 

anyways, this guy was great, but we had a logjam at 1st base, and we won a world championship
