July 14, 200521 yr the Marlins put Jason Vargas into the rotation, which appears to have taken place. They let the kid pitch till the end of the month, if the kid goes 2-1 or even 1-2 with an under 4.00 ERA He stays in the rotation and changes the direction the Marlins go into the deadline as far as what players they want in return How's this...the Marlins go to Toronto and say we want Veron Wells/Miguel Batista for AJ/JuanE./Lowell/a prospect it would move Miggy to 3B, bring up Hermida or just going with Niner, your rotation is set as while as the back in the of the bullpen...just a thought :thumbup
July 14, 200521 yr An OF of Wells in Left, Pierre in Center, Hermida in right has the potential to be killer.
July 14, 200521 yr interesting. But you would be trusting the wild card run to a bunch of rookies in the rotation. Olsen and Vargas. If that happend I think they would make a trade for redman too. I dont wanna trade lowell I think he is gonna have a good second half still but ohwells.
July 14, 200521 yr Wells, Chacin, Bautista for AJ, Lowell & Pierre??? 2B - Castillo C - LoDuca 3B - Cabs 1B - Delgado CF - Wells RF - Enc LF - Hermida SS - Sea Bass Beckett Willis Moehler Chacin Vargas/Olsen this would give us an extremely balanced lineup and rotation. :mischief2
July 14, 200521 yr Author look I'm just posting a scenario, but bottomline is the Marlins would try and get a young hitter instead of a starter
July 14, 200521 yr Wouldn't Dunn be more of a realistic target considering he really wants out? Wells-Pierre-Hermida is scary good, but it's too good to be true...
July 14, 200521 yr Let me diverge. The Yankees young phenom Chien-Ming Wang has been placed on the 15 day DL with shoulder inflammation. How much has AJ's stock just gone up in NYC? Wooooooo baby !!! (not that I wish Wang ill, but bring me Sheffield !)

Wooooooo baby !!!? (not that I wish Wang ill, but bring me Sheffield !) 855137[/snapback] Cashman might be willing to trade the whole farm system now. :whistle And Sheffield...And for good measure ARod.

(not that I wish Wang ill, but bring me Sheffield !) 855137[/snapback] More likely they'll take Al for a start or two.

July 14, 200521 yr Wells and Batista would be sweet! Beckett, Willis, Olsen, Vargas, Valdez/Moehler Pierre CF Castillo 2B Delgado 1B Cabrera 3B Wells RF LoDuca C Hermida RF/ Conine/ Aguila Gonzalez SS MAN THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!! I hope Vargas and Olsen tear it up.

July 14, 200521 yr I dont think Wells would want to play rf i mean this guy won a gold glove in cf last year
July 14, 200521 yr I'm foaming at the mouth, just thinking about getting our hands on VWells, but I don't see it happening. I don't see any trade with AJ going through to Toronto, because it's contingent on him signing an extension. For a while now, I've gotten the impression that AJ has wanted the prime free agent treatment. He wants to be wined and dined, and he wants teams to have an open bidding war to secure his services. When you factor in that the Jays have to deal with the AL east high rollers, and that AJ won't be assured that he'll get more from a renegotation with Toronto than from testing the FA waters, it seems unlikely. I don't think the attraction of having Arnsberg there outweighs the reasons for him to wait for free agency, where he can choose a team with a better chance to succeed and get paid more money. Toronto doesn't seem the best choice to satisfy AJ's two top desires: 1) $$$ 2) WS.
July 15, 200521 yr Wells and Batista would be sweet! Beckett, Willis, Olsen, Vargas, Valdez/Moehler Pierre CF Castillo 2B Delgado 1B Cabrera 3B Wells RF LoDuca C Hermida RF/ Conine/ Aguila Gonzalez SS MAN THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!! I hope Vargas and Olsen tear it up. Two RFers are better than one!
July 15, 200521 yr I don't see Toronto trading Wells, but you never know. I think AJ agreeing to an extension is a bigger issue. But, since we're dreaming... AJ/Lowell/Johnson for Wells Enc/Leiter for Tom Gordon 1. Pierre (CF) 2. Castillo 3. Cabrera (3B) 4. Delgado 5. Wells (RF) 6. Lo Duca 7. Hermida/Conine (LF) 8. Gonzo *faints*
July 15, 200521 yr I'd still rather see the Marlins find pitching. Pierre is coming out of it and overall the offense looked good tonight. The poor performances by Resop and Santos cost them. Thankfully Leiter is gone, but who knows how Vargas will do in that role. 856321[/snapback] I don't think its fair to pen this game on the pen's head considering AJ pitched like s***. True they gave up 7 runs, but its our bullpen. They aren't exactly lights out. AJ is supposed to go out there and give up 0-3 runs for 6 or 7 innings so our lights out guys can get in there and shut it down.
July 15, 200521 yr And the amazing thing is some team is going to give AJ big $$$ to do exactly that for them. :plain I guess thats another topic for another time though...

(not that I wish Wang ill, but bring me Sheffield !) 855137[/snapback] I'd say we try and get Sheff. Not really for any baseball reason (though there are plenty of those), more of a marketing reason. Casual fans know who Sheffield is, add the history and you have a recipe for some increased fan support, and that could subsuquently get the team motivated. Hope that makes sense.
