Guest Moneyball Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 If this is true this confirms tome that Beinfest and Co. haven't done their homework lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beinfest4Prez Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 As much as everyone hates the deal I like Arroyo a lot and feel he can do no worse than what AJ was doing. Mikey, I wish the best of luck to and thank you for being one of the best Marlins. I hope that these prospects are for another, bigger deal for a slugger.

CapeFish Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Get rid of Lowell's contract 860372[/snapback] Yup, you could always turn around and make more deals. Take the money for Lowell and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Another problem with this trade. How will it affect attendance? I'd imagine Lowell and Burnett are still pretty popular. And this trade implies that the Fish are sellers. 860360[/snapback] It certainly gives out that image to many people I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBMarlin Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 If this is true this confirms tome that Beinfest and Co. haven't done their homework lately. 860375[/snapback] I doubt that is the case, which leads me to believe the deal was either reported wrong, or is just BS speculation.

Ramp Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Id rather have Alvarez and Arroyo for Burnett and Lowell Burroughs is crap, as is Shoppach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishfan79 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Just watch. Mikey is going to get with a new hitting coach and is going to take off again. We are going to regret this trade at some point. If we trade Mike we need some real value for him. 860374[/snapback] I agree with you. But, we are in the minority. Most folks are the what have you done for me lately type and lowell hasnt dont much (except pretty much steller defense). I will admit bias in any trade for mikey. But, I really dont get this one. If we are trading him away we do not need another 3B player. We need someone in the outfield and let Cabrera go there. Personally I rather have the draft picks/ real prospects.

OnBoardTheDTrain35 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Get rid of Lowell's contract 860372[/snapback] Yup, you could always turn around and make more deals. Take the money for Lowell and run. 860377[/snapback] So basically this is a trade to unload a high priced guy that has been loved by Marlin fans. I guess I can understand it but I dont see how this really helps us this year at all. Trading Lowell after one bad half of a season could be a huge mistake.

Ramp Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 if this is true, then we know Cabrera can no longer play 3b(or our front office believes so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
