Eddie Altamonte Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Gathright is hitting .218 Olsen has 12 wins...anyone still think We should have made that trade? I believe a more even trade would be Abercrombie for Gathright! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skully Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Haha... nice. I always said I didn't mind trading for Gathright, as long as it didn't mean losing Olsen. I'm glad we didn't make any trade for him now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I don't remember anyone wanting to trade Olsen to begin with. MarlinLou almost DEMANDED we trade Olsen for Gathright, and if not him than JJ or Nolasco. Probably some others as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Just pointing out the only case I rememberd of someone actually wanting to do this trade. As for Uggla, when did he say that? I know alot of people werent happy about him being the starting 2B before the season, maybe the majority of this board. That can't be held against him if it was in that timeframe.

Admin Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Well, I change my stance...the Devil Rays fans were almost having recurring pleasure moments at the thought of getting Olsen for Gathright. Just like Pirates fans were last year when they thought they would actually get Hermida for Mesa(or was that 2004). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DcFishFan Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 don't forget that marlinslou also *guaranteed* that the marlins wouldn't trade the object of his man-crush, luis castillo. he probably ought to open a anti-psychic hotline. what ever advice he gives you -- you do the reverse...

I believe a more even trade would be Abercrombie for Gathright! Considering I wanted to trade Vargas for him... Hate to say it, but those of us who weren't sold on Vargas were right. Too bad we didn't trade him when his value was high. I was more impressed with Olsen last year than Vargas even though Vargas pitched better.

The_Godfather Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Marlinslou has more knowledge about baseball than 90% of this board. Hindsight is 20/20, but the argument for Gathright made sense at the time. Plus he was never adamant about us making the move, just argued why it wasn't such a bad deal for us.

buccanes Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 The argument for trading for Gathright made sense.. the argument for trading Olsen for Gathright made absolutely none. agreed, the olsen thing all popped up in reports.. i don't think anyone here really thought it would be a good idea that i remember.. most people were saying trading pinto, vargas, or petit if I remember correctly.

I bantered back and forth with Marlinslou on this matter. He is impressive in his baseball knowledge and the baseball stats he researched were mind boggling. In this case Marlinslou was just wrong...Ohhh was he wrong! That happens sometimes when limited data is overanalyzed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
