With the losses of Sosa and Alou maybe they're in need of another outfielder. It's just an idea. I really want to trade encarnacion. I know he's gonna start whining whenever he gets benched for a few games.

no

Cubs wouldn't do it.. they already have a short bullpen as is plus I think they're gonna be shopping hard for Huff.. which Farnsworth might be involved in that deal anyway.. if it were to happen.

It's Lose-Lose for the Cubs. Get Enc's deal and lose a pitcher who I still believe has closer potential.

I know. I just felt like robbing the cubs.

Encarnacion is going nowhere, he's the best defensive OF on the team. The guy played hurt when he was traded to Florida. take his numbers from last year along with his 2003 numbers, and somewhere in the middle you got the Juan who WILL play in Florida this season. Remember he had 80 plus RBI's in '03.

 

Since you brought up the Cubs and trade rumors...here's one trade just for fun

 

OF Todd Hollandsworth(1 million per)

 

For

 

OF Juan Encarrnacion and prospect (Luke Hagerty maybe)

 

save 3 million and you get another lefty in the line-up Just a thought...

Hell yeah I woudl do it. It would actually be a great move for both clubs, believe it or not.

 

Enc is in his contract year and plays excellent D in RF and has great speed. Plus, his power numbers would go up at Wrigley. $4M? Drop in the bucket for that team.

Yeah. I like that Idea. I had thought about it. But I wasn't really fond of Hollandsworth in '03. He made alot of mistakes defensively. He would run bad routes, not throw to the cutoff man, time jumps wrong, etc.

the cubs wont want enc. they'd rather have dubois anyway. I'm pretty confident Enc WON'T Play in Florida this season. I'm comfortable with Aguila coming off the bench anyway. We need pitching insurance anyway... the health concern of our pitchers should outweigh the health concern of our already loaded offense.

 

 

 

plus hagerty is basically a cub anyway

I dont think they are going to trade him until spring training.

no

I was, and I still am..... dont know why you would think otherwise

I really like Farnsworth - but I don't see it happening.

I'd do it for sure.....but I really don't see the incentive for the Cubs here.

not really a win for either club

 

that bullpen of ours is already insanely crowded

 

we don't need any bullpen help

I agree with Teal Shadow the Marlins should keep Enc and play him in right field. Enc as a no 7 hitter is great look at his stats and compare to other 7th place hitters in baseball. We need Enc defense in right field as we saw last year Cabrera does not have the speed to play the big right field area in Pro Player. As far as Aguila goes I don't think that the Marlins spend that kind of money on Delgado to put a rookie out in right field, did you forget the Ramon Castro disaster last year. Enc contract will be up at the end of year anyway. Conine can play off the bench this will make our bench even stronger.
