gobucks Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Did anyone else see this. he is third on the rockies depth chart. I am sure there are some hard feelings with him and the organization but he is really trying to get out of Colorado. What a fabulous back-up catcher he would make at $750,000. He would be a great back-up for Loduca so he would be well rested. Probably not going to happen and we would have to give up a pretty good prospect, but it sure makes an interesting thought imo.

FreshFish Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Cons he didn't leave in good terms and complained about PT while he was sucking. Pros Some Fans would love to see him back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickGold Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I doubt he'd be happy to come here as a backup when he could start at a bunch of other clubs. Doesn't he have a no-trade clause? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins2003 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Hard feeling? You betcha there are hard feelings. He's better off, and the franchise is better off not having him return here. That the Rockies are willing to pay those kinds of numbers just to get rid of the guy speaks volumes as to how pivotal the trade (from the Marlins to the Rockies) was in the first place.

fauowls44 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 If the Marlins wanted to pay that much for a backup catcher, they would have re-signed Redmond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 IMO dont do it...ive talked to charles a couple of times and he still thinks he's the best catcher in the league which of course he wasnt even in his prime....anybody that picks this guy up as a back-up get ready to hear some crying...

Iowa Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 How much did Redmond make last year? How much did the Twins give him this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeFish Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 CJ looks to be a Devil Ray in 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowa Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Hell.. redmond made $840k last year. Johnson costing $750k would be fine with me... better than DeFelice or Treanor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 We could run another "CJ's Back" Campaign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlinfan98 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 It could work for the short run, but I'm not sure if he'll be happy being a bench player in the long run. He'd probably voice his displeasure to the FO and hurt team chemistry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlinman2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Even though CJ played for the Hurricanes ( my favorite non-pro team, obviously), and the Marlins, I don't want him. I was disappointed in him a few years ago. And he really would hurt our team chemistry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramp Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Id love to have him back as long as he understands his role on this team what would we have to give up though, considering how much the Rox would be willing to pay maybe Enc.... a guy can dream cant he?

TSwift25 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Delgado, Cabrera, Lowell, Pierre. Those four position players are more marketeable than Johnson right now. However, he would give us a better off the bench option than either Treanor or DiFelice (Willingham isn't an option at this point, IMO). I wouldn't do it, but I wouldn't be disappointed if we did it (if that makes sense). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacyofCangelosi Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 The probably with CJ as a backup is that although for that price he is an excellent person to have on the bench, LoDuca plays a lot. CJ wont be getting too many at bats, maybe once a week at best he can get a start and not even that. As for team chemistry, if he knows his role as a bench player then its ok. but w/e it wont happen he'll start for another team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishPhan Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Maybe the Twins? Mauer might still be hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
