MarlinGuru Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 As the All-Star game approaches, trade discussions are going to heat up and some big names will be moving around. Cincinnati most likely will move one of their outfielders, and other out-of-contention teams will be looking to reconstruct. Seeing that the Marlins offense isn't clicking as it should, the Marlins with some decent pitching prospects and maybe a starting player or two, can having a good chance of bidding for any of these hitters. This list was compiled by me, and I think they are the most likely to be traded. I did not make a pitchers list because I believe (and have learned from personal experience) that almost any pitcher, anywhere, and anytime, can be sacrificed by their team. Available Hitters: #3 Eric Chavez #8 Carl Everret #17 Todd Helton #19 Aubrey Huff #21 Sean Casey #26 Wily Mo Pena #28 Austin Kearns #29 Mike Sweeney #30 Ken Griffey JR #35 Frank Thomas #44 Adam Dunn #44 Preston Wilson #44 Mike Cameron #50 Matt Lawton Things to keep in mind: +The Marlins want to move Guillermo Mota +The Marlins want to move Juan Encarnacion +The FO is dissapointed with J. Pierre and M. Lowell and they could just as well be on the trading block. Discuss. :mischief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildMarlinMan2003 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I dont think that Chavez, Frank Thomas, or Aubrey Huff will be moved. I am starting to like Adam Dunn more and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacyofCangelosi Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Adam dunn on this team would be awesome. I doubt itll happen though. I dont think we have much that they want to part with dunn. And by the way, dunn is extremely frustrating to watch (not syaing i wouldnt want him on my team, he just doesnt hit for a high average and strikes out a lot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinGuru Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 Dunn is probably the Red outfielder that is going to go. I believe he isn't happy playing in Cincinnati. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ns2003 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Why the f would the reds trade Willy? Stop throwing his name around, he's cheap and young, no reason to move him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanodemais Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Why would the white sox trade anyone? Carl Everett or Frank Thomas? That team doesn't seem to need anything. Thomas is just getting back from his injury but no reason to trade him. And I would not want Everett in this team. That guy is a wacko. Just read his Maxim interview. He doesn't believe that Dinossaurs ever existed among other things. Full of conpiracy theories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins2003 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Putting aside where he is in his career, and the fact he's exclusively a 1B/DH I would have loved to see "The Big Hurt" in a Marlins uni at some point in his career. When he hits one gone, they stay gone ! Aubrey Huff is having just a horrible year which if you subscribe to the thinking that he's therefore undervalued as are many Marlins trade candidates, may him more attainable. One has to wonder how a guy who's hit so many homeruns the last three years can have only four this season, unless he's another steroid baby come down to earth.
