Posted May 5, 200520 yr Who should the Marlins secure long term if a stadium deal is worked out? Miguel Cabrera OF/IF Dontrell Willis P Josh Beckett P Who would you like to see long term as a Marlin? Being a huge Cabrera fan I would love to see him start and finsih career with Florida. Also finding good stable pitchers is hard to do!! Having Dontrell Willis and Josh Beckett would also be nice. Lets here some opinions.
May 5, 200520 yr Can we not make plans with the stadium before we have it? The gawds don't approve of cockiness
May 5, 200520 yr If we coud only give a long-term deal to one of them, then it would definitely be Miguel Cabrera. I think it's a no brainer. He's already one of the best players in baseball and he's only 22!
May 5, 200520 yr We should lock up Billy the Marlin long term :thumbup 764453[/snapback] We should trade him for top prospects before he becomes a free agent and becomes too expensive for us to re-sign. :plain
May 6, 200520 yr Cabrera. Though its likely he wont finish as a Marlin. D-Train. Hes also young and getting recognized a bit. Hes still improving also. Beckett. One word: MVP.
May 6, 200520 yr Author I know that Juan Pierre is great at what he does lead off i just wish he had some power would be great. there are time when he hits the ball and you are like where did that come from then others are just not there. But i like him long term.
May 6, 200520 yr Cabrera. Though its likely he wont finish as a Marlin. I think barring unforseen circumstances(major injury, declining numbers), Cabs is going to be wearing a Marlins uniform for the rest of his career. No way Loria lets him slip away. This isnt Cliff Floyd we are talking about. Now whether its with the Florida or not is another issue. Even if teh stadium deal falls through and Loria moves the team, Loria knows a rare priceless piece, whether art or player, when he sees it.
