November 23, 200520 yr What are the chances that the niner can come back and start for us this year? I've been out of the loop lately, so up until the rumors of trades started circulating I havent been following up too closely.
November 23, 200520 yr A saw on Rotoworld today that the Marlins are prepared to offer him $1M for 1 year. It's not clear whether Conine would be interested though.

I am sure he can do better than that salary on the open market as a 4th OFer, 1B for a contender... it's probably a matter if he wants to stay at home and lose, or go somewhere else and potentially win...

Given that he just opened his restaurant last year he may very well decide to stay.
November 23, 200520 yr What was Conine paid last year? Ever since his contract was resructured in August 2003, no two contract sites have agreed on his salary.
November 23, 200520 yr I hope he is here and retires a Marlin. If indeed the team moves Jeff Conine will be the ONLY 'true' Florida Marlin to retire s Florida Marlin.

November 23, 200520 yr What was Conine paid last year? Ever since his contract was resructured in August 2003, no two contract sites have agreed on his salary. He was paid $3M the past two years.
November 23, 200520 yr not to be disrespectful to Mike Lowell, but I want Conine to put the #19 back on.
November 23, 200520 yr I think he'd be willing to play for a million, maybe a little more, to stay down here. He'd be a great character guy to keep around. Plus he could still wind up getting a good deal of playing time. I think it's very likely he'll be on the team in '06.
November 23, 200520 yr not to be disrespectful to Mike Lowell, but I want Conine to put the #19 back on. Same here
November 23, 200520 yr When's the last time any of you saw a burning building with a crumbling foundation and actually wanted to run in and not away? Yeah, me neither...
November 23, 200520 yr I think I might be more upset at losing Conine again than the others for purely irrational reasons. Funny how you get emotionally tied to certain players.
November 23, 200520 yr What was Conine paid last year? Ever since his contract was resructured in August 2003, no two contract sites have agreed on his salary. He was paid $3M the past two years. See... I'm not sure that's true. And I know it's not true if they're just offering him $1M. He can't take more than a 20% pay cut (before May 1st) from us.

I hear you and I'm not sure how they could offer him $1M. I've had that salary in my Excel spreadsheet since the deal was first reported in '03.
November 24, 200520 yr When's the last time any of you saw a burning building with a crumbling foundation and actually wanted to run in and not away? Yeah, me neither... That made me laugh...in an excruciatingly painful way.
November 24, 200520 yr I think they can shell out 2.4 million to keep Conine here, though, who knows, everything is in flux now.
November 25, 200520 yr I think they can shell out 2.4 million to keep Conine here, though, who knows, everything is in flux now. I wouldn't spend $2.4 million on Conine, I don't think. Especially as strapped as this team is.
November 25, 200520 yr I would like Conine back, but if Castillo is traded, I think it is more important to re-sign Damoin Easley who would see a lot of time at 2B in 2006....
