January 10, 200521 yr Eric Goldschmidt, who represents Marlins outfielder Juan Encarnacion, said there has been no mention of selling Encarnacion's contract to a Japanese team, as the Marlins tried to do in 2003 with Kevin Millar. -Sun-Sentinel How does that work? Do the Marlins have to give up anything? Might they pick up a few yen? Frustrated in their attempts to upgrade their left-handed relief corps, the Marlins are thinking outside the box again. According to industry sources, they are trying to sign one more right-handed reliever, this time someone with a history of success against left-handed batters. It's believed the Marlins have at least one offer out to such a reliever, although his identity was unclear Saturday. With 10 pitchers already under MLB contract, what's the point? Jones and Spooneybarger are adept at getting lefthanders out. Just go without.
January 10, 200521 yr Agreed with the bullpen thing. I think Jim Mecir was mentioned later in that article And it is a damn shame we can't get rid of Enc to Japan :lol
January 10, 200521 yr Enc is going to have a breakout year....there is no need to dump him. He has the best RF glove in baseball and can play CF (his native position) if JP goes down for whatever reason.
January 10, 200521 yr Breaking News Peter Gammons reports: Yomiuri Giants get: OF Juan Encarnacion Florida Marlins get: YCDTBNA (Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Deck To Be Named Later)

Neither will Delgado. Neither will Cabs for that matter.
January 10, 200521 yr Millar isn't in the MLBPA because he was a scab so I think that made it easier to sell him to Japan. Don't think it'd be possible with Enc.
January 10, 200521 yr Author Millar isn't in the MLBPA because he was a scab so I think that made it easier to sell him to Japan. Don't think it'd be possible with Enc. 651915[/snapback] Millar and other scubs have long been represented by the MLBPA. They are kept out of the merchandising contracts though.

Seems like parts of the CBA wouldn't neccesarily protect him.
January 10, 200521 yr ok, well Millar's contract was much smaller. I don't know how you could get a team to pay enough to cover Enc's contract. And Cape there is no way that Cabs and Delgado wouldn't be everyday players.
January 10, 200521 yr he seems like the type of player the yoko-ono unicorns have been looking for since yakuniro shashuke left to play with the kawasaki bearclaws I hate those bearclaws always snatching the good players
January 10, 200521 yr He means they won't play all 162 games. 651932[/snapback] Exactly 651934[/snapback] Even so what sense would it make to pay someone 4.5 million to make spot starts(of course all of this assuming Delgado comes here which is probably pretty unlikely)

He take over in the middle of a game, he can pinch hit, and he can be a defensive replacement.
January 10, 200521 yr Like the title of this thread, this is the usual "do you still beat your wife?" stuff by Berardino.

I remember him making a stink about that sorta thing back in '03/
January 10, 200521 yr And you think he'd like that. I remember him making a stink about that sorta thing back in '03/ 651964[/snapback] I don't remember that. You may be thinking of Encarnacion.
January 10, 200521 yr In the words of Rob Dibble when Kaz Suzuki went back to Japan.... "And Encarnacion says no mas"
January 10, 200521 yr And you think he'd like that. I remember him making a stink about that sorta thing back in '03/ 651964[/snapback] I don't remember that. You may be thinking of Encarnacion. 651965[/snapback] Then who are you talking about who is making 4.5 million this year that you would want coming off the bench as a defensive replacement?

Encarnacion is the best defensive outfielder we have...he saves runs with his glove. His bat is not enough to bench him.
