July 10, 200422 yr Author With a starting pitcher market of Kris Benson and no one else, the marlins could trade Pavano on July 31st if they are sellers and get a lot for him from Boston or New York. Maybe we could land Halsey.
July 10, 200422 yr We need at least 2 pitchers, if not 4 right now. 449650[/snapback] don't hold your breath on that one.
July 10, 200422 yr you are all crazy if you think the season is over even though you cant continue to say "we are only 3.5 games out", we could be 5 games out and still be in this how many games behind the phillies were we at this point for the WC? anyone advising to sell off the team is just going insane because their life revolves around Marlins baseball

Maybe we could land Halsey. 449644[/snapback] I'm drooling at the thought of the yanks and sox gettting into a bidding war if in fact we do drop out.

Of course the season is not over now, but it could be the 31st. Even if the season is basically over on July 31st, it will be fun to watch a Pavano bidding war with the Sox/Yanks.

The thought of playing games in September that don't matter scares the hell out of you, so you want the Fish to do anything in order to keep living the pipe dream. IF you make a mistake and don't beome sellers now the franchise pays the price for years to come.

July 10, 200422 yr Sox and Yanks wouldn't have good enough farm systems, to land Pavano. Teams like the Angels and Dodgers on the other hand...
July 10, 200422 yr Why sell? Wait until Beckett is healthy and trade him to Texas for Teixeira and a reliever. Helps us, helps them. If Wayne or Bump can step up, it would keep us in the race and save us future headaches.
July 10, 200422 yr Author Sox and Yanks wouldn't have good enough farm systems, to land Pavano. Teams like the Angels and Dodgers on the other hand... 449667[/snapback] Halsey would be a good pick-up for Pavano. But I'm getting too far ahead. Fish are 3.5 back.

IF you make a mistake and don't beome sellers now the franchise pays the price for years to come. 449662[/snapback] so you disagree? 2.5 games can't be overcome in half a season? what did you think last season when we were 10 games under? nobody would have though the marlins would win the WS 2.5 games back is something very minor, especially in a weak NL east division I agree that if we continue to fall, we should sell, but after this team gets some rest and the ASB is over we might pick up where we left off last season But, if you insist..... Anyways, there is no way this small market club will "pay the price" if they fail to make these moves...big things shouldnt be expected after this season with penny and pavano possibly being gone After this season we will most likely enter the "rebuilding" process

If Wayne or Bump can step up, it would keep us in the race and save us future headaches. 449687[/snapback] Why Beckett? You've got him locked up for another 2 or 3 years and we've seen what he can do when healthy. Penny or Pavano would be dealt if that deal were to happen.
July 10, 200422 yr Author After this season we will most likely enter the "rebuilding" process Either at the end of the season or at the trading deadline that will probably happen, but they can probably compete in 2007 if not in 2006. By then Eric Reed will be the leadoff hitter, with about the same infield, except Josh Wilson at short. Willingham should be catcher. Heridia might be in the outfield by then, and I think Miguel will still be here. I'm not sure what the pitching staff will be.

He's heading to arbitration soon and will be making just as much as Penny if not more. And yes Choitotheworld, Texas is shopping Teixeira for pitching help. Are you from Baltimore or something?

When the salaries get up to $7-$10 million is when we'll see the players leaving, but there would be no logical reason to give up on young pitchers with worlds of potential that aren't out of the team's price range.

I am not against trading Beckett at all - but only if we got some serious talent in return. I would trade him to the Pirates, for example, for Oliver Perez, Sean Burnett (two Burnetts on one team...) and Craig Wilson. That would be an excellent deal. But obviously, that will never happen.

July 10, 200422 yr I don't think it is time to sell. We missed the chance, and rightfully so. We must hunker down and weather this storm. For the storm shall never outlast you.
July 10, 200422 yr Author What this team is the All Star break. 449740[/snapback] QUE?????????? :blink: :blink:
July 10, 200422 yr time to go out and get Admin Walker, Carlos Beltran or Jason Kendall now I am sick and tired of watching this offense not drive in runs and if we get an OF I want Willy behind the plate, if we get Kendall I want Willy in LF /end rant
