Should we pay Mike Lowell's contract or like most articles say, receive Sidney Ponson from the Orioles in exchange for Lowell, as part of the AJ Burnett trade.....guys?

I think Lowell is slowly seeing the ball a lot better. Good cuts and hard hit balls.

He just is just hitting the ball straight to people. We have got to give him more time.

 

Keep lowell.

neither, go find a better team to trade with. Teams are desperate and we have the "big fish" of the pond to dangle right now

The partying would probably go on for days in Baltimore if we took Sidney was taken off their hands.

 

Not a chance.

Exactly what I said. AJ is the guy that all these teams are after. Why settle for a lowball offer?

I am also a supporter in keeping Mike Lowell, but I think the principle of this trade in which we receive Admin Bigbie is to let Mike Lowell go and move a younger MIguel Cabrera to third base, opening a spot for Bigbie, and allowing us free room to re-sign Juan Encarnacion. I love Mike Lowell, Obviously take a look at my icon, and I would want the Marlins to keep him, although I think as a fan fav he was resigned, but FO didn't see it as a need, and believe now is a perfect time to let him go. BUt if we do deal him cause it's a must go, do we go ahead and take Sidney Ponson from the O's or keep the trade as is, and pay most of the deal left in lowell's 21 million dollar contract? I say we take Ponson, he is a promising starter, which I think would do ok in the NL, any thoughts on this?

Between those two options (no keeping of Lowell, no Minnesota trade, no other trade)... get Ponson and hope PPS helps him help us.

Of course....when you have THE GUY that every team wants, you should be able to demand high for him! We will not get fleeced here.

No way the Marlins get Ponson at all....he is DONE.

 

Beinfest has already said no way. He would rather pay for Lowell and trade him.

Neither.

 

I'd rather keep Lowell than pay his salary and not have him on the team.

 

I also think that Sidney Ponson is garbage. He's had a horrible year for a good team.
