February 5, 200620 yr I was a season-ticket holder in 2003 and 2004 when the Marlins deserved my money and I went to all 81 games both years and every playoff game. I was at Yankee Stadium for Game Six and watched the Marlins party on their field......so I don't want to hear your garbage about me being a Devil Rays fan. I also never cried about the heat or the rain. I've been at day games during the week where maybe 200 people actually showed up...so who do you think you are to criticize me? Unless you maintain you flew up to Chicago for the three "home games" played there in 2004 once again you are either lieing or you didn't mean what you said. You see, the Marlins only played 78 games at PPS in 2004. Either way it seems like everytime you post something here your credibility sinks further and further into the mud. :thumbdown
February 5, 200620 yr Only way I trade Olsen is if we get Jeremy Reed from Seattle in a miracle trade. No doubt. This proably deserves its own thread. Reed is significantly better than Gathright...so it is frustrating to hear us potentially overpaying for Joey and not even trying to trade for Reed, who has the potential to be the great Def CF/leadoff guy that could complete our offense. If were going to make a painful trade with good pitching prospects, make it for a guy who's got true allstar potential like Reed not Joey G.

Every home game played at Dolphins Stadium for two years. How many did you go to Marlins 2003? Only way I trade Olsen is if we get Jeremy Reed from Seattle in a miracle trade. No doubt. This proably deserves its own thread. Reed is significantly better than Gathright...so it is frustrating to hear us potentially overpaying for Joey and not even trying to trade for Reed, who has the potential to be the great Def CF/leadoff guy that could complete our offense. If were going to make a painful trade with good pitching prospects, make it for a guy who's got true allstar potential like Reed not Joey G. For Reed, it would cost something like Petit and Olsen.....would you pay that?
February 5, 200620 yr What i can't understand is that surely given that Gathright is what 6th choice behind baldelli, huff, crawford, gomes, and shortly young, why we should give up any of our top 3 pitching prospects for him? I understand that asking for young would be stupid but surely if they wish to cast off their 6th choice outfielder we should cast off one of our lesser pitching prospects of equal value. It has been said before that Gathright has major league experience be it limited; within 3 months of the start of the season most of our pitching 'prospects' will have the equivalent of 90 games under their belts, and Gathright will likely have played 10 games in 2006. I say wait until the all-star break and then go knocking on the DRays door when they desperately need a starter.
February 5, 200620 yr Author The Devil Rays will look at the Marlins and see how desparate they are for position players......unless somehow Reed or Aguila can handle CF. Gathright is viewed as a starting CF in the major-leagues, so the fact that he's down on the Devil Rays food chain doesn't really matter. The new Devil Rays management isn't like the old one, or they would have traded Gathright, Huff and Lugo the way the Marlins tore up their team......but they're holding out for quality pitching that can make their pitching staff now.
February 6, 200620 yr Never, you don't trade a pitcher with as promising talent as Olsen, we can't afford to trade our pitching, we don't know who will pan out or not, pitching is always first, remember?
February 6, 200620 yr All this Olsen speculation is useless anyway, because he'd just fail his physical.
