July 2, 200521 yr 10 for his last 10 reaching base. 6/6 3 BB 1 HBP 3 RBI's Maybe we should threaten to trade him all year long.
July 2, 200521 yr And I thought what he did last Wednesday was enough to raise his trade value, it's soared higher than ever expected!
July 2, 200521 yr Yeah. We should sell every player we have that performs for us and see where that gets us. Lot's of money and no team. KEEP ENC!
July 2, 200521 yr He should be the permanent #5 hitter for the rest of the year. Cabrera - 16HR 59RBI, Delgado - 15HR 57 RBI, Encarnacion - 11HR 45RBI I say keep him, lol.

I just think Duke should take the 5th spot becuz hes more of a contact hitter that doesnt strike out as much as Enc. Move Encer to the 6th spot and Mikey to 7.

July 2, 200521 yr Author From the AP story: Encarnacion has reached base safely in 10 consecutive plate appearances, tying the club record set by Derrek Lee in September 2002.

July 2, 200521 yr we might not be as ready to trade him anymore, he could be responding to the trade talk but let's see if it cools down now and how we responds...will it be a return to old, crappy enc form or is this new encarnacion here to stay? if it is I say keep him
July 2, 200521 yr I just hope the reason he picked up his performance so much isn't because he heard rumors of being traded to the Yankees. That is a sad excuse to start playing to your full potential. The Yankees blow. They are the epitome of evil in the MLB and the world. We will make no distinction between the Yankees and those who harbor them.
July 2, 200521 yr We have 2 players who have been subject to trade rumor lately. Both free agents next year, and both very unlikely to be with the Marlins next year. If you trade A.J. there is no replacement ready anywhere near his level(for this year). On the other hand, if you trade Enc, you have Conine ready to step in. Makes sense, as long as Conine's 100% healthy.

July 2, 200521 yr sell high 837133[/snapback] I agree. Encarnacion has a long enough track record in MLB. There's no reason to believe that he's going to have some sort of breakout season. He's hot right now, and now is the time to trade. 6 weeks ago he was untradeable. The same could be true 4 weeks from now.
July 2, 200521 yr I think alot this has to do with some on here wanting Niner in the line-up so badly they want to get rid of our best OF. Niner isn't a RF he's looked horrible in his last start in RF, if we trade Juan its b/c the organization wants Hermida up with the big club not to put Niner in the line-up in RF JMO its amazing how fans want a player on there team to fail to see another in the line-up

July 2, 200521 yr Enc will have -4 rbis in august and we'll all be pissed that we didn't trade him. He realized that he can't jog to balls and let runners score from first on a single or else he'll be traded.

Whatever I feel, I always want every Marlin to succeed, and I root for every one of them in every at bat. If he's a Marlin, I hope Enc bats .400 for the rest of year. Same for Lowell. I just don't think that it's reasonable to expect that either will.

If Lowell goes, Cabrera comes in to play 3b and Conine goes out to play LF, maybe that is managements thinking? Just speculation.
