legacyofCangelosi Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBMarlin Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

rferry Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 What was Conine paid last year? Ever since his contract was resructured in August 2003, no two contract sites have agreed on his salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stag5 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinatPenn Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 not to be disrespectful to Mike Lowell, but I want Conine to put the #19 back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcorner Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSwift25 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Folklegend Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcorner Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 If LoDuca is dealt, Jacobs at catcher, Niner at 1B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had that salary in my Excel spreadsheet since the deal was first reported in '03. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlin Nation Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I think they can shell out 2.4 million to keep Conine here, though, who knows, everything is in flux now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramp Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 please no. we dont need him stealing at bats from Hammer Time or Jacobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geemoney Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsprt05 Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
