June 15, 200323 yr Pick of the players i have listed :cool , i think there might have been some threads kind of like this, but not a poll.
June 15, 200323 yr most likely? Mike Lowell.. this is a fact So you gave up on Lowell staying in the Marlins?
June 15, 200323 yr I picked Mike Lowell is most likely he will traded first, hopefully the only one. I dont think A.Gon should be on that list.
June 15, 200323 yr Mike Lowell, good glove, hits well and provides power. the easiest person to trade. but he wont be the only one, castillo will be gone to sadly
June 15, 200323 yr Derrek Lee also should be gone... not only because of his salary... I agree with you 100%. He's been here for 6 years already, the whole potential thing has really gotten old
June 15, 200323 yr most likely? Mike Lowell.. this is a fact So you gave up on Lowell staying in the Marlins? did i say that? No i said most likely.... but i still think/hope he stays
June 15, 200323 yr The MOST LIKELY to leave FIRST is Luis Castillo. He's really our only player that's n the trading block that is expendable and replacable, plus the only FA.
June 15, 200323 yr The MOST LIKELY to leave FIRST is Luis Castillo. He's really our only player that's n the trading block that is expendable and replacable, plus the only FA. only free agent? most of the players on the team are free agents including Lowell in the sense that they dont want to pay him the money he'll probalbly get in arbitration.

June 15, 200323 yr i realized that after i posted, my mistake, but he is a free agent in the sense that they dont want to pay him the money he'll get in arbitration. either pay up, let him go, or trade him. the last one seems more favorable
June 15, 200323 yr i said Luis becuase if Marlins win i think they will try and keep Lowell but no matter what Luis is ganna be gone. :banghead :banghead :banghead :angry :confused
June 16, 200323 yr Hollandsworth....okay, I'm hoping more than anything. The Marlins will discover that Banks will be able to do the job in LF. Hopefully we'll be able to find someone to take T.H. off our hands. Too bad the Yankees didn't take Todd instead of Sierra.
June 16, 200323 yr Yup Lowell has the most chances with the cubs in need of his hitting and they need a 3rd baseman. I hope he doesnt go away but you know how our Front Office is
June 16, 200323 yr I think Luis is going to be the first, and honestly, the only player to go in July for us... I think D-Lee is going to leave us in November, and I am STILL thinking Lowell is staying...
June 16, 200323 yr I think D-Lee is going to leave us in November Luis and Mike will be the first to go, they are being hunted down by certain number of Teams! JC, why did you pick November?? :unsure :
June 16, 200323 yr Because we can afford him and need him to fininsh out the season, and will be traded away early in the off-season so the team he goes to can sign him to a deal they feel suitable through arbitration... And I am telling you, Luis will be the first and only one to go during the season...
June 16, 200323 yr I think Luis will go. Instead of the double threat they were hoping for, they got a firecracker in Pierre and a dud in Castillo. Juan has 28 stolen bases as opposed to Luis' 13. I see more hustle from Juan than from Luis. If they trade away Lowell, the fans would stop coming to the park. I agree............. Trading Mike Lowell will make the situation go from bad to worst.On other hand signing Mike Lowell shows comitment to the people in south Florida.
June 16, 200323 yr Instead of the double threat they were hoping for, they got a firecracker in Pierre and a dud in Castillo. Juan has 28 stolen bases as opposed to Luis' 13. I see more hustle from Juan than from Luis. That "dud" also happens to be batting .320..... I think they'll be fine with Pierre at the top of the order if Castillo is dealt, but let's not overstate it.
June 16, 200323 yr Castillo a dud? he has already set a career high in HR, and while his sb arent where they should be, he is in a mini slump(getting sb).....he is still hittin .320 and getting some key base knocks for us.... a dud? hell no
June 16, 200323 yr That "dud" also happens to be batting .320..... I think they'll be fine with Pierre at the top of the order if Castillo is dealt, but let's not overstate it And Pierre is batting 294- right in his heels. It was my opinion, not an overstatement. i dont think .294 is on the heels of .320. its a 26 point difference
June 16, 200323 yr y is Alex on this list ? he will not be traded. it's just a poll dude... it's what people think... Alex could be a hot commodity..... let's hope not
June 16, 200323 yr That "dud" also happens to be batting .320..... I think they'll be fine with Pierre at the top of the order if Castillo is dealt, but let's not overstate it And Pierre is batting 294- right in his heels. It was my opinion, not an overstatement. You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but is it really your feeling that Castillo has been a "dud" this season because he's been caught stealing 9 times? It's been stated ad nauseum how the Marlins lead the league by a ton in steals, yet still they sit near the bottom of the division. I'll take the high average personally. That being said, Luis will be totally overpaid next year. If someone else wants to pay 7 million for a leadoff hitter, by all means. The way I like to put it is: sure Castillo's better than Pierre, but is he $5 million better than him? No way.
