August 1, 200422 yr According to Jayson Stark, the Florida Marlins did the best job of improving themselves before the deadline. He also added, and this was agreed with by many other GMs that Beinfest has now elevated himself to among the elite GMs in the game today. The story is currently on the espn frontpage.
August 1, 200422 yr Author sorry, I looked at the first two pages of comments and I didnt see anything about the Stark article posted today once again, I apologize if I missed it
August 1, 200422 yr First time I've seen the article as well - Wow, what high praise for Beinfest - nice to see an unbiased, objective view of things. Can you imagine what they would be saying if the Walker deal would have gone through as well?!?! Way to go Admin Beinfest. Can someone please forward this to Berardino?
August 1, 200422 yr Most importantly Beinfest deserves the credit and the accolades and as for Jayson Stark, on the whole he's been the most willing of all the national media pundits to give the Marlins praise.
August 1, 200422 yr It was a great move no doubt. Kudos to Beinfest and Loria for doing all they can to continue building the momentum in South Florida. :thumbup
August 1, 200422 yr I read the article also and it is great to see Loria and Beinfest getting the credit they deserve, they pulled the right strings last year and hopefully this years trades bring the same magic.
August 1, 200422 yr Wow what a day can do. Man I won't name any names but theres a good two or three people on this thread alone who we're blasting Beinfest for ruining the season a couple days ago...
August 1, 200422 yr I think alot of the reasons why the trade was initially met with so much anger is the attachment that many here felt with the two major leaguers traded.

In fact we kept the farm system in that trade and even though Choi is gonna be good, he may reach his ceiling in a year or two considering he is 25. That doesn't leave a lot of time to improve dramatically.
