June 17, 200323 yr Third base prospect Miguel Cabrera played left field for Double-A Carolina yesterday and went 0-for-3. Cabrera, who is batting .365 with 10 HR, 59 RBI, 46/30 K/BB and 9 SB in 260 AB for Carolina this season, is still expected to take over at third base for the Marlins if Mike Lowell is traded. However, it appears that the team is looking for a way to get him into the lineup for the second half even if they don't deal Lowell. Odds are that Lowell will go, but if not, this could be very bad news for Todd Hollandsworth. Cabrera is worth owning in any NL-only leagues in which he's still available. c/o rotoworld.com :mischief2
June 17, 200323 yr Heard about it earlier. I think they are going to keep Lowell and platoon Banks/Cabrera next year in left, occasionally playing Cabrera at third when Lowell is off. That way Cabrera has some safety padding to learn and gain experience, but not totally put the team at risk. Can anybody say bye bye to Fox and/or Mordecai? :violin :keyboard :guillotine LOL, Have A Nice Day, CapeFish
June 17, 200323 yr I think Loria will raise payroll somewhat and try to keep nucleus intact for one more year. Isn't Pudge's deal special money that Loria came up with? So using that logic it means that it would not be part of the regular estimated payroll. He could keep team together if he shreds Hollandsworth, Mordecai, Fox, V. Nunez, and others who are not essential. Penny may be gone too, makes too much with too little result. Instead you have Willis take his place. So you would have next year you have a rotation of Redman, Beckett, Willis, Pavano, Tejera/Phelps/Prospect/Acquired Player in Penny Trade. It would be cheaper and protects team from much financial risk. When Burnett comes back (his salary is paid by insurance until then) he can fit right in sending the Tejera/Phelps/Prospect/Aquired Player to then pen.

June 17, 200323 yr or possibly...bye bye to Lee and Banks will be playing first. Dont think so Lee never misses a game
June 18, 200322 yr how bout they bring up Miguel today and sit Worthless cuz he cant hit nor catch fly balls he HORRIABLE!
June 18, 200322 yr how bout they bring up Miguel today and sit Worthless cuz he cant hit nor catch fly balls he HORRIABLE! horrible :mischief
June 18, 200322 yr or possibly...bye bye to Lee and Banks will be playing first. Dont think so Lee never misses a game He means we will trade D-Lee an Banks will be the new starting 1B, with Miguel being the full-time guy in LF... See, I believe this team will keep Lowell, but some of you other guys need to realize that to keep Lowell, Pudg, Lee, Castillo, and TH will all have to leave. We cannot keep one of those guys if we want Lowell here. And I say good ridence to them, becuase I want Mikey...
June 18, 200322 yr how bout they bring up Miguel today and sit Worthless cuz he cant hit nor catch fly balls he HORRIABLE! How bout we have Ramon Castro hit Hollandsworth with a Line Drive in BP, so we can bring up Cabrera for a while :shifty :mischief2
June 18, 200322 yr i doubt cabrera will come to the majors this year. they will probably move to triple AAA
June 18, 200322 yr Cabs played LF tonight again.... and I definitely think we see Cabs in September.... maybe earlier
June 18, 200322 yr how bout they bring up Miguel today and sit Worthless cuz he cant hit nor catch fly balls he HORRIABLE! How bout we have Ramon Castro hit Hollandsworth with a Line Drive in BP, so we can bring up Cabrera for a while :shifty :mischief2 i agree!!
June 18, 200322 yr If i remember correctly Ramon played Left for us back in 1998-1999-2000. My microsoft baseball video game confims that Ramon Castro played left feild for the fish in 98-99 sometimes. He could just move to left to platoon with H-Worth, Banks, Allen for more variety
June 18, 200322 yr cabrera isnt coming up, if anything he will be moved to AAA, lowell is going no where
June 18, 200322 yr Castro is athletic! How else could he catch so many young pitchers effectively? Look at Biggio from catcher to 2b to CF. We have to play castro for his bat, he is being sacrificed on our bench.
June 18, 200322 yr Castro is athletic! How else could he catch so many young pitchers effectively? Look at Biggio from catcher to 2b to CF. We have to play castro for his bat, he is being sacrificed on our bench. i dont know were you have been, but all catchers have no speed, there was a reason biggio was moved from being a catcher at his young career. because he has speed........ castro can barely run, cj, redman, posada, pudge......
June 18, 200322 yr Pudge is pretty quick, so is LoDuca, and Kendall... Cabs will be moved to AAA soon, then onto the majors sometime this year... who knows, maybe he skips AA ball...not a wise move, but it could happen
June 18, 200322 yr -Biggio is not fast or athletic? I won't even respond because that is so rediculous. -Ramon Castro cannot rot on the bench, get him some outfeild and infeild feilding practice. -It cannot hurt anyone, as a catcher and outfielder a long,long,long time ago- I can tell you that any practice helps.
June 18, 200322 yr You could move Pudge to Left if Banks goes down and Hollandsworth gets worse. Hopefully it won't come to that.
June 18, 200322 yr Pudge is pretty quick, so is LoDuca, and Kendall... Cabs will be moved to AAA soon, then onto the majors sometime this year... who knows, maybe he skips AA ball...not a wise move, but it could happen pdge cant run that well, hes just putting all out to prove his worth loduca and pudge may only have speed in a long distance, but cant steal second only kendall
June 18, 200322 yr Ramp I looked at ESPN and CBS, but I am almost positive that Castro played Left Field sometimes for the fish. I believe he would start at catcher and move to LF. Check Redmond to see if he has 1b or 3b in his record, we know he played there.
June 18, 200322 yr Pudge is pretty quick, so is LoDuca, and Kendall... Cabs will be moved to AAA soon, then onto the majors sometime this year... who knows, maybe he skips AA ball...not a wise move, but it could happen pdge cant run that well, hes just putting all out to prove his worth loduca and pudge may only have speed in a long distance, but cant steal second only kendall Pudge has 10+ steals i think.... Jason LaRue can run too... catchers are quicker than you think
