December 22, 200421 yr Javier Vazquez appears doesn't want to go to LA according AP Should the Marlins get involve offering up Juan(with Juan ending up in Colorado in a seperate move)/AJ for Vazquez and Edwin Jackson? Just thought?

Just thought? 640268[/snapback] Are you saying we can get Vazquez and Jackson for AJ and Encarnacion? What about the money factor? We can't afford Vazquez straight up.

December 22, 200421 yr If we could get rid of Juan in a seperate deal with Col why not just do that and sign a JD Drew or Mags?
December 22, 200421 yr If we could get rid of Juan in a seperate deal with Col why not just do that and sign a JD Drew or Mags? 640305[/snapback] I think that'd be the plan.
December 22, 200421 yr I'd trade A.J., really any one of the 2005/06 free agents, for Vazquez and the chance at improving the offense.
December 22, 200421 yr Author Nevermind, I don't think I'd want him on our team. http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/yan...ports-headlines
December 22, 200421 yr :blink: Vaz sucks. How can you demand not to be traded without a no trade clause? What sh*t. He tried pulling a Gary Payton.
December 22, 200421 yr Hell yeah we should get involved, if the trade gets done the team that takes over for the dodgers is going to get one hell of a deal.
December 22, 200421 yr We know that the dbacks want Burnett. no secret there. They could also use encarnacion eventhough he is not quite green. It would be pretty interesting
December 22, 200421 yr Author Well if you believe what Newsday is reporting " The Dodgers had hoped to move Vazquez to another team, but couldn't find a taker and backed out entirely." True or Not? :plain
December 22, 200421 yr Henry (Bay area): Do you think the Yankees will get Randy? If so, who would the "third team" be? SportsNation Scott Ridge: (2:14 PM ET ) I do think he'll end up in the Bronx. Everyone says the White Sox, but I have a feeling Florida could get involved. The Marlins might opt for Vazquez and be inclined to trade Burnett, who had some run-ins last year with their pitching coach. -from Today's chat on ESPN Not Like Scott Ridge is the authority, but this seems to be a prevailing trend among sportswriters. The Marlins have the young pitching other teams crave.
December 22, 200421 yr Wouldn't mind doing th etrade at all if the Yanks put in some heavy dough and Javy stayed. Problem is he's not certain to want to stay in Miami...there would need to be some type of guarantee. At this point it's better to try to sign Burnett to an extension.
December 22, 200421 yr I'd like to swap AJ for Vazquez simply because AJ is a FA after this season and Vazquez is wrapped up for a few years.
December 22, 200421 yr If we could get rid of Juan in a seperate deal with Col why not just do that and sign a JD Drew or Mags? 640305[/snapback] Hasn't Drew agreed to a deal with the Dodgers?
December 23, 200421 yr i think they should and it should be like this FLA Gets Vazquez NYY Johnson Ari Burnett ENC Stokes And NYY pay ENC contract and most of Vazquez (dont forget they realy want RJ) After we get rid of ENC horrible contract we can go after Perez or Milton and have money for a hitter Vazquez Lieter Beckett Willis Perez or Milton Mota Alfonseca Sponny Jones Readling Lefty Pierre Castillo Loduca Cabs Lowell Connie FA Sea Bass Thats a pretty good team
December 23, 200421 yr There is no reason for Arizona to want Enc. 641176[/snapback] sure there is, free Right Fielder with a good arm
December 23, 200421 yr There is no reason for Arizona to want Enc. 641176[/snapback] sure there is, free Right Fielder with a good arm 641181[/snapback] And force either Tracy or Hairston to the bench? Both much younger and both much better with a bat?

Both much younger and both much better with a bat? 641193[/snapback] DID I MENTION HE WAS FREE? SIT HIM ON THE BENCH DONT NEED TO START HIM
December 23, 200421 yr I would definetly take Vazquez for AJ. And Vazquez would welcome playing in Miami. Here's why: Vazquez, a native of Puerto Rico, considered the West Coast to be too far away from his home. From Newsday. I have had this argument before, but Latin ballplayers seem to be more comfortable being closer to their native homes (exception, Vlad, which seemed to shock a lot of people). If we were included in that deal, there would have to be some cash thrown in for us to handle Vaz's contract. Other than that, I say trade AJ if you can because I have a feeling he is not going to want to stay with us.
December 23, 200421 yr I got the impression from AJ's comments the other day that he was trying to smooth things over about the way some of his flippant comments were taken in South Florida. I think all the Marlins need is to see AJ come to spring training healthy and there will be an extension/multi-year deal on the table for him to stay with the team for the forseeable future. It might even happen sooner. The idea of trading him for Vazquez doesn't do alot for me even if it were a way to free up $$$ by including Encarnacion. I sure would like to use those $4.5 million towards starting pitching but not at the expense of losing Burnett.
