June 7, 200422 yr Someone here asked how much Grimsleys salary was: $1,000,000 (ESPN) Currently 3-2, 3.22 ERA. And i agree with you guys to get Beltran and keep him for a while. As for the outfield arrangement, you can have Conine spend time at first from time to time. Either way i wouldnt expect a trade like this for now
June 7, 200422 yr I'd rather not trade for Beltran for two reasons. 1) We can't resign him. 2) If we do resign him, we'd have to lose a lot of other quality players. I'd rather have a good team than working around one player. It didn't work for the Rangers and I wouldn't risk it. BTW, didn't Grimsley get PWNED by Harvey today?
June 7, 200422 yr Grimsley/Santiago for Nunez/Castro. :thumbup If only. If we picked up Benito's contract price for this year and next year, I think they might bite. They'll be rebuilding without Beltran and Castro does have a lot of talent. They may take a chance on him.
June 7, 200422 yr Everyone could use Beltran, but we don't NEED Beltran. We need depth at catcher and bullpen. In time, Wil Cordero will be back. We should also give Easley some OF time. If your weap spot in the OF is 270 15-20HR and 80RBI things are not that bad.
June 7, 200422 yr Let me get this straight... now that everyone who pays attention to baseball has finally realized Yankees prospects are overrated and rarely live up to hype their friends in the media are proposing to use another's team's farm system to get what they want? Half of South Florida may be from New York or have shown some interest in the Yankees, but surely they must realise the Marlins aren't the Yankee's minor league affiliate!!

Good Morning, To your Yankees question I guess Lowell is over-rated I would have taken Nick Johnson last year.
June 7, 200422 yr Contreras might just need a change of scenery like Benitez did but I don't want to give up a ton of prospects.

Good Morning, To your Yankees question I guess Lowell is over-rated I would have taken Nick Johnson last year. there have been many many more that have not panned out in the past 10 years that were 'can't miss'

Good Morning, To your Yankees question I guess Lowell is over-rated I would have taken Nick Johnson last year. there have been many many more that have not panned out in the past 10 years that were 'can't miss' the heart of the yankees team came from their farm system Mariano rivera, Jeter, Posada, soriano (even though he isnt there anymore)...i think bernie williams as well... their farm system is not crap
June 7, 200422 yr the heart of the yankees team came from their farm system Mariano rivera, Jeter, Posada, soriano (even though he isnt there anymore)...i think bernie williams as well... their farm system is not crap true but since their run began.....their farm system has been kinda blah.
June 7, 200422 yr I prefer the more realistic version. Me too. Because we would be giving up some serious prospects for Contreras - who I am sure would do great in S. Fl. But to me, just aint worth it right now. Deal Nunez, get Grimsley, and give Easely some looks in LF. :thumbup
June 8, 200422 yr :hat If this a Beltran trade happens. I thought about this...here it goes...trade him to Boston. Boston? Yes :thumbup Hear me out, Boston would then trade Johnny Damon to Seattle with others, and Seattle would trade LHP Eddie G and RHP Gil Meche(I might be pushing here) to Florida. It's a better deal then the Yankees by far Comments???
June 8, 200422 yr yea imagine 2005 Marlins {defending world champs again} 1.Cf juan pierre 2.2B Louie 3.Lf miguel cabs 4.3b mikey 5.Rf carlos beltran 6.1b Choi 7.Future catcher??? 8.SS Gonzo aka ''seabass''
June 8, 200422 yr dont the Royals want a catcher, OF, 3 pitchers and 1 middle INF(all good players) for Beltran? and the fact we couldnt resign would be awesome!!!! where do I sign?
June 8, 200422 yr People, wake up. we ain't getting Beltran same here were not gonna give up prospects for a guy that is going to be a rental cause the money that the marlins will have to send will go to re-signing our own guys..
June 8, 200422 yr Obviously we aren't getting Beltran. And if for some reason we drug up KC's GM and nab Beltran, trading him somewhere else, no matter who the destination may be, is beyond stupid.
June 8, 200422 yr Jose Contreras is garbage.......has any1 seen how many games he has f***ed up for the Yanks? Besides i would'nt want to help out the Yankees in any way possible. :mad :

Lowell? Johnson?
