September 17, 200521 yr Yeah it's that time. Start to discussing what you'd like the team to do. This team is done. Here's what's on the menu... 1) Who replaces Jack McKeon? 2) Does Bill Robinson comeback? 3) What do the Marlins do with Pierre? 4) What about Mike Lowell? 5) Do we give Alex G. 5-6M a year contract? 6) How will Beinfest add more power to the line up? 7) Trade Delgado? 8) What veteran starter do the Marlins sign to replace Burnett? 9) How much payroll will Loria cut? 10) Resign Jones? It's going to be the toughest offseason of the last three. The 2006 Marlins could be a rebuilding project for 2007. IMO we blew a big chance in 2005 to take the whole thing.
September 17, 200521 yr Yeah we get it you think the season is over, you're just trying to start a flame war. close this s***.

Mordecai 2. No 3. Trade to Yankees for Chien-Ming Wang 4. No idea, we're screwed here 5. No, we got Andino 6. God only knows, hopefully we put Castillo and Hermida on HGH. 7. No 8. God only knows 9. Not a whole lot 10. No, he's gonna want a lot of money
September 17, 200521 yr Let's face it the offseason looks pretty damn bleak. Let's enjoy the season while it's still going on.

IMO we blew a big chance in 2005 to take the whole thing. 950887[/snapback] 1) Girardi 2) ABSOLUTELY NOT 3) Keep him 4) Trade him 5) No, Andino can handle the job if Alex won't take a reasonable amount of money no higher than 2,5 million. 6) Hermida will be a starter next year. 7) No way. 8) This is a horrible offseason for starting pitchers, if we acquire a good veteran starter it's most likely going to be through a trade involving Mike Lowell. 9) Pudge and Hampton will be 100% off the books next year, so I don't think he'll cut any payroll. 10) Yes.
September 17, 200521 yr 1. Mordy 2. No 3. Trade him if the price is right, otherwise keep him 4. Get rid of him for some amount of money. 5. No, Andino or Wilson is cheaper 6. Cabrera, Delgado, Lowell. Beinfest was brilliant last year in getting the middle of the order to look like that. It seems it doesn't matter what he does, something happens to screw it up. That's so Marlins. 7. Hell na 8. Jason Johnson 9. eewwww 10. Yankees=$$$$$
September 17, 200521 yr The season is no over. 1) A player's manager. Tony Pena or Davey Johnson. 2) Half of the staff should not. 3) Keep him on an one-year deal. Get a solid alternative to platoon him or take over if he can't get it done or he can but the Marlins are out of the race or can get an offer worth it 4) Try, try, try but we're ultimately going to fail 5) $5M tops 6) He won't. Beinfestball is all about slap hitters who don't strikeout, not power hitters. 7) No. We have a very good chance of winning next year. 8) Anyone but Jason Johnson 9) None 10) Depends
September 17, 200521 yr 1) I like Mordy, but I'm not sold on him as a ML manager yet. Girardi or Davey are the top candidates. 2) No 3) Keep Him 4) Ditto 5) I wouldn't go higher than 4 or 5 mil. 6) Trade some minor leaguers for another power guy 7) NO 8) who knows- do they go with a youngster to replace him? 9) however much he thinks he needs to- it's his money, not mine 10) Yeah, try to anyway.
September 17, 200521 yr what the hell is the point of this thread with 2 weeks left in the season? its over? please dude. someone lock this.
September 17, 200521 yr Another thing I should have added... Although it seems unlikely but since it appears Loria won't pony up the money on the stadium. Could we see the beginnings of an ownership change with the mystery man that is interested in the Marlins?
September 21, 200521 yr Hmmm..... Milton Bradley in CF? :mischief2 956637[/snapback] is Hermida and Andino ready to be regular MLB players?
September 21, 200521 yr Can't this wait till the actual off-season? Seriously, we will all listen to your stupid organizational moves then, I promise.

The only thing I posted in here that was close to a move was the thing on Bradley. Even that was posed as a question. Read and comprehend you clown.
September 21, 200521 yr whoever the new manager is, please let Josh Willingham get some f***ing at bats

September 21, 200521 yr 1) Um, probably Leyland, but I'd like to see Tony Pena. 2) Robinson probably comes back, simply because if he hasn't been fired by now, he never will be unless he kills baby seals or something. 3) Pierre'll probably be back, simply because we can't get equal value in return and even though he's probably our second or third "LVP," he's still better than anything we can replace with in house, or sign on the free agent market. 4) Again, Lowell's contract probably won't be moveable, and I don't think the Marlins are going to swallow a substantial amount of cash for him to play elsewhere when he's still so inexplicably popular. What I'd do is see if some team overvalues one of our young pitchers (Vargas, Olsen, Johnson, heck, even Volstadt) to the point that they'd take Lowell's entire contract with one of them. 5) My heart says yes on Alex, but my head says no...I think Andino's the SS next year, however, if Alex comes back with no raise on a 2 year, $8 million deal, I have no problem. 6) Who's to say Beinfest will be around? I remember at the Braves game (when the Marlins ended up winning eventhough it looked like Andruw Jones won it) that Loria was noticeably irate with Beinfest to the point that I said to the people in my section "oh, heads are going to roll after this one." I don't think Beinfest's job is secure, but even if it is, there are too many players under contract for next year for there to be a massive influx of new faces. Ideally, I'd like to see us go after Brian Giles or even Preston Wilson to add some outfield pop, but that's only if we can trade Lowell, which I'd say is 50/50 at this stage. 7) Delgado has more job security than any other player on the team. Even more than Cabrera (there, I said it). 8) With all the guys who are going to be handed walking papers, I think the Marlins make a run at keeping AJ. However, for some reason, I see us adding Jeff Weaver. 9) Will probably see about the same pay-roll as this year. 10) I wouldn't resign Jones considering how many good free agent closers are out there. For whatever reason, Beinfest is enamoured with Urbina, and Ryan is my #1 free-agent target for this team. Jones can come back if he wants to, but I don't think we need to get into a bidding war over him.
