July 25, 200520 yr 5-6 million a year does sound right. However, I think someone will offer him 7-10 million. Too bad money constraints may force us to lose him. I'd like to see him and Castillo play middle defense for us for a few more years. 873390[/snapback] he's worth that much??? I don't see it. his defense is ok, but offensively he sucks! I wouldn't pay him more than 1 or 2 million at the most.
July 25, 200520 yr JW...why in the heck would you want Furcal over Gonzo? http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/stats?playerId=4243 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/stats?playerId=3916 Its easy Furcal is a better hitter than Alex and steals bases and I also feel he has more potential. If both Alex and Furcal cost the same amout of money I rather have Furcal. Look at the career #. Just cause he plays for the Braves and Alex plays for us you can be biased. I only give Alex the edge on defense. 873524[/snapback] :lol what do you propose as our lineup then, we would have three leadoff hitters. most teams are satisfed with one.
July 25, 200520 yr JJ24 Posted Today, 11:53 AM what do you propose as our lineup then, we would have three leadoff hitters. most teams are satisfed with one. I don't think Furcal is a leadoff hitter with that OBP. The Braves may use him there but he is better suited at the 7 spot or 8. Furcal has some pop as well. We also haven't been stealing bases or playing small ball since 2003.

July 25, 200520 yr Author All I ever hear CubanGM say is sell sell sell. I dont think he likes any of the components on this team. He desperately wants to get rid of Lowell and Burnett, he wants to replace Gonzo with Furcal who cant hold a candle to Gonzo's defense, and if I am not mistaken was wanting to trade Pierre as well(and Beckett too maybe?) Are you even a Marlin fan?

July 25, 200520 yr Author I am not saying wanting to trade a player makes you a non fan, but all this guy ever does is talk about trading and its a different player every time. I think hes the guy that wanted to trade Pierre for Patterson and Remlinger.

July 25, 200520 yr If Alex isn't back next year, blame Jimmy Rollins. 873375[/snapback] I agree completely.....F--- ROLLINS AND THE PHILLIES!!!! but if he does go, i think there will be god shot he ends up in Chi-Town with Guillen!!
