The "real" FAN Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 "More trades to free up money is always in the equation," O'Brien added, meaning Pena and Kearns still could land elsewhere, with the St. Louis Cardinals still interested in Kearns for, perhaps, pitcher Jason Marquis. And the Reds probably could get pitching from Washington for Pena. http://www.daytondailynews.com/sports/cont.../1210mccoy.html The Reds want pitching badly send them a couple of pitchers for Kearns or Pena...PLEASE!

I would love the FO to do just that. I highly doubt the FO cares about the product they put on the field for 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins2003 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 The Reds just traded away Casey so these guys could play everyday, makes no sense to now trade one of them now that they've traded away their OF depth. BTW, both are about to enter their arb periods so you can expect their salaries to double or more every year for the next three or so seasons. Pena will probably get a mil this season and Kearns $2 mil. What the Marlins need is to find, either in Aguila, Willingham (if the catching experiment fails) or through a trade, are young OFers whose salary will escalate slowly as the team comes together over the next few years. That's why a guy like Gathright made so much sense on paper. He's someone you take a risk on, not Pena or Kearns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcorner Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 What '03 said. Either that or pick up a cheap FA somewhere just to temporarily fill a hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finfan9113 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 You think Anaheim would give up one of their guys up the middle for Petit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finfan9113 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I dont see anyway that Cincy trades WilyMo or Kearns anyother OFs not named Gathright avaliable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinatPenn Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I hope they don't trade Petit or Sanchez or Olson... I fear they might though for a Gathright or someone similar. :confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastie Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yea they have no reason to deal them but....It would be pimp to trade for Willy Mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBCMarlinsFan Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 The Phillies' Jason Michaels might be an option. Entering the weekend, Phillies sources considered the likelihood of any trade remote. The main Phillie on the block remains Jason Michaels, who has been shopped several times for pitching and whose future as a Phillie remains a 50-50 proposition.

jsprt05 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I wouldn't mind Jason Michaels at all, seeing how he has Miami ties and all. The only problem I have is that he will be 30 in June.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSwift25 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 It's easy to plug corner outfield holes with just about any free-agent class. Heck, look at this one, one of the worst in history and you still have 2 above average corner outfielders in Giles and Sanders, and a plethora available via trade. Get a centerfielder, and when we're ready to contend again, left-field (if Willy is catching) can be plugged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureGM Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Michaels would be a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Dunn doesn't want to play 1B, and we still need more pitching. Wily Mo and Kearns are the best thigns we have to offer, there are still reasons to trade them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowa Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Seems like Nix could be had for cheap.. I know Mitre was wanted in Texas earlier in the offseason, fwiw. I know Nix isn't that great, but he is a young person we could throw out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlin Nation Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Seriously, at this point why not just experiment with Aguila, Hermida, and whoever else in the OF? I agree, 06' is going to be about getting the players we have now some playing time and see what they really got over the grind of a full season.

I agree, 06' is going to be about getting the players we have now some playing time and see what they really got over the grind of a full season. We need someone else in the outfield besides Aguila and Hermida as well as a second baseman. There is no one on our roster or in the minors I want to see fill those positions for a full season. It will more than likely be laughable any ways, but we still need to fill those spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins2003 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Dillon can play both OF and 2B. Willy can see time in the OF if Treanor is catching. It just seems like a waste to go out and sign someone that will likely cost a million or more if the front office couldn't even get Mr. Marlin to stay. :thumbdown on soooooo many counts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins2003 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Conine's decision was his own, and so I suspect, was Dillon's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
