You saw they talk about willis and they showed that when he lands he is perfect. So he wont get injured because of his delivery. It like's Nomo's windup but faster.

 

Anyone know the details with the of the Benson rumors?

He can get injured. He has Very Bad Mechanics, just because he lands Perfect doesnt mean anything. Pitchers can get injured very easily....

 

It would be nice to get Benson here to south Florida, He has good stuff he just needs to improve on curtain things that our pitching coach can help out with but he isnt worth being traded for Penny or Lee....

No point whatsoever in this.

 

We've already got Bekcett, Penny, Red, Pavs, and Willis set in the rotation, plus AJ back next year. All pitchers make less than what Benson would make next year, plus Benson has never lived up to the hype since being a high pick...

Rune, we don't need pitching. And he hasn't proven much...

 

If we are going to get ML's for our position players, they aren't going to be pitchers, especially ones with high salaries...

 

Think!

Your telling me to think?

 

I'm not the one saying that Benson should go for Low Tier Prospects that make no money.

 

You want thinking why not thinking just on A Baseball level but on A PR Level

 

You trade Luis and Penny for Prospects no average fan knows of only The Die Hard...

 

Result: 1,000 less season tickets next year...

 

You trade Luis and Penny for A ML Player who has had better years

 

Result: a lot nicer than Result 1

 

Baseball is a not just a game it's also an investement by The Owners, You can't just think for the sake of the team...

That's not the point. He mechanics are not bad! Did you not read the post? He has a weird way to getting to his realse point but once he does he looks perfect. Which means he has good mechanics.

bingo

Ramp, you don't know how ignrant you sounded...

 

NO team in the right mind would pull off a trade that is NOT in the best interest of the teams performance...

 

Why wouldn't we trade Luis for a teams 2-3 best prospects instead of Kris Benson...? If you aren't a die hard fan you probably don't even know who he is...

 

THINK!!!

huh?

 

what did i say?

Trust me he does, i know alot about pitching ( i am one myself). You dont see Maddux or Clemens doing it, do you? He throws sidearm and he twists and turns. With Burnett its the same thing....the only one that may have good mechanics is Backett....when you turn your back to a hitter you lose alot of control but you gain velocity.

think about our teams history, thats all i have to say. i know your 14 so you have an excuse for being naive, when i was 14 i was also very naive about baseball and still am for some things, that was the same year the '97 team broke up, it wore off real quick.

Wait, so you are saying I am wrong?

 

Because I know I am not wrong...

 

What Rune sadi made absolutely no sense from any standpoint, financially or performance wise...

Josh watch you called me ignorant...

 

Josh you do realize that The Florida Marlins' attendance is anything but spectacular.

 

You also realize that someone is getting contracted in 2007.

 

You also realize The Expo's are moving saving them.

 

So who does that leave to pick off,

 

Survey Says

 

The Florida Marlins. The Fish need to save face here and you know it. They trade Luis for prospects Attendance dips lowers and The Fish become Jay Leno's New b*tch.

 

Simple as that.

 

Also what the hell do you mean That The Fish have enough pitching?

 

You can never have enough pitching especially a team that is not The Reds or Astro's. Starting Pitching is The Most Important thing in Baseball, bottomline.

 

A rotation of

 

Beckett

Willis

Redman

Benson

Pavano

 

is a rotation where The Pressure is off The Hitters.

 

With people like Worthless stinking the place up and Lee in the beginning of the year like always if he is still around. You have protection something The Fish need.

i think it would be great if we get Kris , he is a great pitcher , the reason his #'s sucks so much is becuase he pitches for the Pirates , so he cant win but he would fit in here great... Trade Benson for Penny and minor leaguer

wins and losses may define pitchers but that isnt why he sucks....

 

check the era, whip, etc

 

Benson has an era of 5.00.... yea, we need him :rolleyes

Rune, do you think if we traded Luis for Benson attendance would be higher than if we traded him for prospects? NO!

 

You make no sense! None whatsoever from any standpoint. Kris Benson isn't A.J. Burnett or Kerry Wood... He isn't going to draw more fans... He is just another player... He isn't anything special...

 

Now, on the other hand, those prospects you get for Luis, now they might be special... You know what you are getting when you get Benson... If you get 3 great prospects for Luis, at least one is going to pan out to be a future fan favorite of the Florida Marlins, that would eventually attract more fans...

 

Now, like I keep saying... THINK!

 

BTW: Ignorant*

3 prospects, 1 will be a fan favorite?

 

now you are being ignorant...since when are prospects sure things?

Another thing Benson is 28. I rather get Kip Wells who is 26 and is 2-3 with a 3.63 ERA and is making 370,000.

 

This to me would make more sense and I think the marlins can get him for Penny and a lower prosepect.

Ramp, three prospects with at least one that is upposed to be the next good/great thing is better than getting a no name underachieving overpaid no longer prospect pitcher, isn't it?

of course... but a prospect isnt a sure thing..

Wow Josh is getting angry, Watch out! :lol

 

So Josh what your saying is you want prospects that are going to produce down The Road when attendance needs to go up now!?

 

Wow Josh I'm not going to call you ignorant because that's your word of the day brought to you by The Letter I and The Number 7.

 

But...

 

Answer me this instead of churning out the same thing over and over and over and over...

 

When The Expo's move who is The Prime target for Contraction?

 

I'm not saying Benson is going to raise attendance actually you just said that so I guess you have taken on that role but...

 

Who are The Fan's going to repond more too

 

A Major League Pitcher who has produced a winning record in 2002 for The Pirates or Prospects that few fans care about. Not everyone reads these message boards I hate to tell you?

 

Also I'll complete what you are going to say because My Spider senses are tingling, I don't care about his number's to this point sure he sucks right now but so does MB does that mean that that's not goint to change? No.

 

He sucks right now does that mean he sucks Hell no!

 

Ok Josh I await your next response where you try to act big and call me Ignorant

Now, like I keep saying... THINK!

 

BTW: Ignorant*

who will eventually be traded himself. he aint saying Benson is going to improve attendance. what he's saying is that the Marlins will look for a way to say that they got an estbalished major leaguer that will help us (even though they would be lying through their teeth), its called politics, baseball style. its true it doesnt make sense getting an expensive pitcher that has a few years left on his contract who isnt performing that well when we're dumping salaries (i know you dont want to believe its what we're doing but get used to it), so i dont know. i wouldnt be surpirsed if they found someway to make this trade happen to save face like Rune said and money.

If we trade Luis, for Benson- attendance will go down

If we trade Luis for Propects- attendance will go down

If we trade Luis for anyone that isnt a big name(which we wont get a big name)- attendance will go down.

 

 

 

The bottom line is Luis is a player that brings fans out to the park, not unproven minor league prospects, im not saying that they're duds, but they're not gonna get props from the fans until they prove themselves, same thing goes for Kris Benson.

i dont think fans go to the game to see Luis anymore than to see DLee imo

I think that marlins should go after Wells not Benson. Wells has more up-side and is cheaper.
