July 31, 200422 yr im starting to change my mind on this trade i kinda like it now all we need now is a 5th starter our bullpen is mad good now 484982[/snapback] just so i'm clear... youre happy with trading a stud starter for a reliever who will pitch 30 innings straight up even though we dont have anyone who can start 5th now?

Lets not call Penny quite the stud just yet. Solid, yes. Will he be missed, yes. But Mota and Benitez make it a 7 inning game EVERY GAME. Penny is .500 this season. He has 12 more starts...that is 6 wins based on what he has done so far. Over 60 games I think Mota willl help us win more than 6 games.
July 31, 200422 yr The trade Was good look at last years team and this year now 2003 2004 JP JP Castillo Castillo Pudge Lo Duca--------- an all star catcher this year Lowell Lowell Cabrera Cabrera Lee Conine Encar. Encar. Gonzo Gonzo Beckett Beckett Pavano Pavano Penny Burnett Willis Willis Redman ????? thats the only guy we have to replace Fox Mota Urbina Benitez
July 31, 200422 yr Worst Trade in Marlins history. Bar none. 484721[/snapback] I'm not sure how I feel....I want to wait 24 hours to see if more is done....sleep on it a little. Sometimes the shock of a trade "clouds" judgement. But what's funny is that there's a lot of Dodger fans, on the ESPN boards, that feel the Dodgers got "bent" over pretty good in this trade. The feelings there are about the exact opposite of the feelings here. Probably more Dodger fans are against it. 484826[/snapback] Yeah, I'm going to sleep on it. I doubt I'll wake up a little different.
