December 2, 200520 yr Does any team have a very good quality 2B prospect we can trade JP for? I'm holding out hope we can land Ronny Cedeno from the Cubs once we trade Pierre.
December 2, 200520 yr I'll trade ya this wooden nickel for Cabs and Dontrelle! :banghead Its all fun and games when your team spends money
December 2, 200520 yr I'll trade ya this wooden nickel for Cabs and Dontrelle! Beinfest's ears are burning.
December 2, 200520 yr I'll trade ya this wooden nickel for Cabs and Dontrelle! I'm sure we would take that offer in two years
December 2, 200520 yr Can anyone, and I mean anyone, put a remotely positive spin on this? I'm at a loss to understand it in any conceivable way... This is the last time you'll see a Florida Marlins firesale. By the time the kids reach the drinking age they'll be in Nevada. Go Loria!
December 2, 200520 yr I'll try and put some positive spin on it... Bowyer looks like he is a complete stud.
December 2, 200520 yr I'll trade ya this wooden nickel for Cabs and Dontrelle! Is the Nickel a pitcher?
December 2, 200520 yr Hey Marlins fans. You guys got one heck of a young reliver. He was personally my favorite pitcher on the team. He has an unbealavablely fast fast ball and can locate the ball pretty well. If you were to have got a JC Romereo You just get a lefty who throws the ball fast and is very inconsisitant. You got one of the best young pithcers in the majors in my opion
December 2, 200520 yr AP - Marlins Cabrera and Willis Traded To Mets For Belly Button Lint Good, I really didn't want to give up that wooden nickel.
December 2, 200520 yr Mark my words Luis will be a Marlin in 2006. LOL riiight. Anyone know who we got? I just hope Lefty tells me that I will never win the lottery
December 2, 200520 yr http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/sfl-122...la-sports-front Marlins trade Castillo to Twins for 2 no-name pitchers By Juan C. Rodriguez sun-sentinel.com December 2, 2005, 1:55 PM EST MIAMI -- The Florida Marlins continued their salary purge on Friday, sending three-time Gold Glove winning second baseman Luis Castillo to the Minnesota Twins. In return, the Marlins are getting a pair of pitching prospects, Triple-A fireballer Travis Bowyer and Class A right-hander Scott Tyler. General Manager Admin Beinfest already has notified Castillo about the transaction. "When I saw them trade [Mike] Lowell, [Josh] Beckett, and [Carlos] Delgado, I knew they were going to keep trading," Castillo said. "I hear they'd be trading [Juan] Pierre or [Paul] Lo Duca, or me. I thought they would keep me. Since they have young players they would want a veteran in the infield. "I can't say I'm happy about it. It's a little difficult because I've spent my whole career with the Marlins. I felt like I was at home here." In dealing Castillo, the Marlins are saving at least $5.5 million. A three-time All-Star, Castillo can vest a $5.75 million option for 2007 with 501 plate appearances next season. Castillo departs as the franchise's all-time leader in games played, runs, hits, singles, triples, at-bats, stolen bases, multi-hit games, and sacrifice hits.
December 2, 200520 yr some more insite from John Sickels Minorleagueball.com 17) Travis Bowyer, RHP Relief sleeper, saved 23 with 2.78 ERA and 96/40 K/BB in 74 innings at Rochester. Very strong K/IP reflects plus stuff. Still needs to refine his control a bit, but another good option as a middle reliever and possible future closer. 18) Scott Tyler, RHP Another live arm, would be considered a top prospect in some systems. 3.95 ERA with 109/48 K/BB in 118 innings for Fort Myers. Needs to improve the consistency of his breaking ball, and may be better-suited for relief down the road.

December 2, 200520 yr Great, after JP and LoDuca go there will be no veteran presence in the line-up...Girardi is gonna turn into a chaperone for a bunch of kids on a field trip

God this one damn hurts! Why cant they just move then trade them or soemthing. This really just sucks. It is like stabbing us with a knife then offering to salt the wounds to make it better
December 2, 200520 yr This franchise will find it very hard to sign Free agents without adding a no-trade clause when it relocates.

It's a little difficult because I've spent my whole career with the Marlins. I felt like I was at home here." Odd I thought he was quoted as saying he would be unhappy if he wasnt traded? That does suck though. It would be nice to keep a veteran or 2 around to help. Thats why I think it would be stupid to trade Duca
December 2, 200520 yr I wonder if we are going to have any type of speed at the top of our lineup and who would it be???? Aguila
December 2, 200520 yr C - ? 1B - Jacobs 2B - ? SS - Ramirez 3B - Cabrera LF - Willingham CF - ? RF - Hermida SP - Willis SP - Vargas SP - Olsen SP - Johnson SP - ? CL - Bowyer SU - Messenger MR - Resop MR - Bump
December 2, 200520 yr Hey florida Fans can you just tell me something. What did you expect to get back for an aging 2nd basemen who hits 300 but almost nothing else. I think you got 2 very very good young relievers who which bowyer can even be an allstar quality closer
