Posted July 1, 200321 yr I lost (misplaced or my dog ate) the PB Post pre-season article that provided the Marlins' roster salaries. Is there a simply accessed site with that info'? Annoys me when RAMP comes up with it instantly. Thought of it yesterday when I was not excited about the acquisition of Mark DeRosa. But, heard herein, that he would cost less than Mordecai or Fox. Thanks!

July 1, 200321 yr Author JRod, thanks for that break-down. Now, how do I find out contractual spec's; e.g. length of commitment? Have copied your break-down, good start for me.
July 1, 200321 yr Author when didwe acquire mark de rosa? Didn't acquire De Rosa. But hot rumor topic yesterday including Braves AAA pitcher Marquis. Lot of positive excitment on our site.
July 1, 200321 yr JRod, thanks for that break-down. Now, how do I find out contractual spec's; e.g. length of commitment? Have copied your break-down, good start for me. no problem arnie lemme try and see if i can find the matter of years that we are tied up wit the players
July 1, 200321 yr i think juan pierre is a steal for only a milion dollars a year and a total waist of 1.4 mill sits in the minors in vladimir nunez
July 1, 200321 yr i can't believe we have so much room for investment. i mean, when you look at easily replaceable guys like redmond, nunez and pavano making a mill and a half a year. that's 4.5 mills guys. we can ship them all out of here, invest that in signning our current players and replace them with minor leaguers.

July 1, 200321 yr Author Dumb question. But, no apologies. Do Teams carry contract insurance on players? e.g. A.J. out for the season.

July 1, 200321 yr The Marlins DO NOT have insurance on Burnett or any of their players. They are footing the bill themselves. It was/is part of their one year contract thing.
July 1, 200321 yr Author The Marlins DO NOT have insurance on Burnett or any of their players. They are footing the bill themselves. It was/is part of their one year contract thing. This is typical, or uniquely insane?
July 1, 200321 yr Actually, because of the nature of these unique type of policies, it only makes sense economically if you have multi-year contracts to insure. Since none of the contracts are multi-year no need for insurance.
July 1, 200321 yr Right. You just don't see insurance taken out on players unless they have a long expensive contract. And even then, the premiums have skyrocketed in recent years. It's one of the reasons teams may start to shy away from really long-term deals. Often there's a 3 or 6 month waiting period before they can start to collect anyway. Arnie, as far as committment to players, the Marlins really aren't committed to anyone next year except for Juan Pierre who will make 2.2 million under contract.  They have control of Beckett, Spoony, and obviously Willis and Cabrera. Those players will get minimal raises if any.  Luis, Hollandworth, Pudge, Fox, & Mordecai are potential free agents. The rest are all arbitration eligible.
July 1, 200321 yr Mordi will be back here... He's cheap and valuable, same goes for Fox... Luis will be traded, Pudge will leave via FA, same for Hollandsworth...
July 1, 200321 yr Author Mordi will be back here... He's cheap and valuable, same goes for Fox... Luis will be traded, Pudge will leave via FA, same for Hollandsworth... Liked what you said. Now, do you think we can play Mordecai and Fox to keep them bench-sharp? (I won't even mention Castro; the situation is so disgusting).
July 1, 200321 yr A few thoughts.... Hotcorner Right. You just don't see insurance taken out on players unless they have a long expensive contract. And even then, the premiums have skyrocketed in recent years. It's one of the reasons teams may start to shy away from really long-term deals. Often there's a 3 or 6 month waiting period before they can start to collect anyway. True Hotcorner, they do have a waiting period to collect. But the biggest reason why they don't insure 1 year deals is because companies that insure human interests (ie. Lloyd's of London, etc et al.) now require a 6 month deductable of salary. This makes it pretty pointless to insure, as the only way you would collect any postiive amount of money is if the player got hurt in the first 5 months of the deal and was out for the remainder of the contract. next year we could have a hell of a rotation a.j. beck red willis penny/pavano but i say ship out red and nunez, thats another 3 mill we could use in the weak spots of or roster It's very optomistic to think AJ would be back by mid 2004, much less opening day. And besides, he may be more attractive to both the Marlins and other teams coming out of the BP now. And don't kid yourself, Nunez is hardly attractive in the trade market. ASk yourself this: If he's so unattractive that you want to trade him, why would anyone else want him?
