July 15, 200422 yr I've heard on the street that they SHOULD trade Beckett because he is always on the DL. Not that they will be doing this but you guys think the Marlins should trade him?
July 15, 200422 yr no, I dont think we should trade him. Hopefully in his next start he wont have an injury within the first 5 innings
July 15, 200422 yr No way! Because when he is healthy, he is one of the best pitchers in the game. Do you want some other team to say that?
July 15, 200422 yr Author I just hope the same thing does not happen again. If it continues to do so. I think we should let him go. Its gonna be hard to but that cant keep hapening.
July 15, 200422 yr Well the fixed the problem for the second half last season, maybe they'll do the same this season.
July 15, 200422 yr Author Well the fixed the problem for the second half last season, maybe they'll do the same this season. 459392[/snapback] I sure hope so. When we didnt have AJ we had Josh. But when Josh comes back....man our pitching rotation is gonna be so strong. And I think that will give the bullpen more confidence and all the other starters as well.
July 15, 200422 yr You can't trade Beckett, now. If he gets healthy for the final stretch, we'll be hard to beat for the East.
July 15, 200422 yr yup....i think we even got a better rotation then the Yanks IMO 459408[/snapback] no kidding of course our 5 are better than theirs
July 15, 200422 yr The trade Beckett ideas are stupid. Now if he was 30-35 now they are plausible but he is still 24. How many pitchers can boast even a record at that age.
July 15, 200422 yr Crazy as it sounds, trading your World Series MVP might make sense if we could pick up a fifth starter and either a frontline catcher or powerhouse OFer. A team like Baltimore (used for example purposes only), being out of it already would be able to baby Beckett through 2004 in hopes of having a longterm ace to build their staff around in 2005. With Burnett back, and Willis, Pavano, and Penny (all you'd need in the playoff rounds) the Marlins would be giving alot but would demand alot in return. Am I in favor of it? Not really, but if the FO made a compelling case based on acquisitions the idea has some merit. But frankly if I was going to trade one of our starters (putting on my flame-retardant uni) it would be Penny, based solely on what he'll command $$$-wise in the off-season.

The FO won't trade Beckett because he is A) Injured and B) You can't give up on a guy with the potential to become one of the great Texas Aces (Clemens, Wood, Ryan).

You got to be kidding me man

July 15, 200422 yr Author I just really hope this guy can stay healthy....I mean its always the damn blisters.....About how many times has he been put on the DL for the blister problem?

July 15, 200422 yr if they want to trade beckett, the yanks or baltimore would be a great deal... hell even boston, send over wakefield and nomar baby... i wouldnt mind that....
July 15, 200422 yr yup....i think we even got a better rotation then the Yanks IMO 459408[/snapback] IMO Yanks are not Top 3 in SP.
July 15, 200422 yr Author if they want to trade beckett, the yanks or baltimore would be a great deal... hell even boston, send over wakefield and nomar baby... i wouldnt mind that.... 459569[/snapback] we dont need nomar....we got gonzalez and i rather keep gonzalez because he plays better D
July 15, 200422 yr Nah not yet. Right now anyways, I don't think you could get as much back. Let him comeback and dominate then there could be a case if the price were right, but I just don't see them trading this guy any time in the near future
