February 15, 200521 yr i think we need to sign AJ to a contract extension sometime soon, because we all know a healthy AJ is among the top 5 pitchers in the league also, i think we should sign Gonzo to an extension because if Im not mistaken, this is the last year of his contract (sorry if Im wrong on that)
February 15, 200521 yr Yankees get: AJ Burnett Marlins get: Whichever recently signed young pitcher struggles first. (Hopefully Pavs) Half of his contract payed. Prospects (whatever is left)
February 15, 200521 yr Author what about joe dillon???? :whistle 686391[/snapback] what about him? 686393[/snapback] shouldnt he get a chance to start or play a few times :thumbdown

Prospects (whatever is left) 686390[/snapback] Too bad the Yankees have no prospects to speak of. If they did, they'd have traded him away by now.

He will be THE free-agent, as long as he stays healthy, and doesn't bomb. We won in 2003 without AJ. And Wilson is a number 4 kinda guy. Just pushes the other 3 up in the rotation and makes the offense St. Louis like.

Even Navarro was pretty mediocre. 686485[/snapback] Luckily, we gobbled up their best prospect ever about 6 years ago--some guy named Mikey Lowell.
February 16, 200521 yr Cincinnati Reds get: Burnett Kensing+Stokes+Tankersley We get: Dunn Wilson 686615[/snapback] are you saying all 3 of them???????????? that's fairly absurd maybe i'm not getting it and you're saying only one

February 16, 200521 yr we need to transform mike difelice into a shortstop. 686456[/snapback] :blink: :blink: :blink:
February 16, 200521 yr Trade: Encaranacio and Willingham...for Barry Zito Trade: Encarnacion and pitcher (olsen/bazardo) for Barry Zito
February 16, 200521 yr Trade: Encaranacio and Willingham...for Barry Zito Trade: Encarnacion and pitcher (olsen/bazardo) for Barry Zito 686923[/snapback] I'd rather have olsen than Zito knowing the way the A's organization loves OBP Trade Willingham for Zito

Just pushes the other 3 up in the rotation and makes the offense St. Louis like. 686611[/snapback] I'd say the chances of signing AJ are 50/50 (and it's more like 70/30 if we decide to open up the wallet Delgado style...he doesn't care where he plays, as long as he's paid well), and with so many more contracts up in the air (Pierre going to arbitration for his final year after 2005 ends his negotiated contract, Gonzalez, Mota, Leiter, Valdez), we're going for it all in 2005, and one year of a healthy AJ is exponentially better than a career of Paul Wilson (yeah, I said it). Dunn is good, don't get me wrong, but he K's a whole freaking lot and with Cabrera Delgado and Lowell already getting their fair share of K's, I'd rather think about getting a pure hitter instead of a one dimensional power bat (if we're even going after anything at all).

He walks just as much as he Ks, but he can clear the bases. Who cares if he leads off an inning with a K, he is leading off infront of Niner and Gonzo, not exactly guys who will drive home runs consistently. ::remembers a few bases loaded no out situations the bottom of the order got NOTHING::. The 2005 free agent market sucks. AJ, if he has an AJ caliber year, he will get whatever he wants because he will be the guy to have. And yes Loria has opened the wallet, but we are still the Marlins.
