build up a solid bullpen behind Tank and get a good young CF

 

but we can talk about that in the offseason i want this season to finish up first.

Build up the pen. Add two middle relievers (Tank closer) or a closer and a middle reliever. I am not asking for 5 just 2 good relievers.

 

A good young bright wonderful CF'er.

change of ownership

 

:thumbdown

 

change of manager

why the thumb down?... he sucks hard

Here are the things I hope to see by Opening Day 2007:

 

1) Plans in place for a new stadium in South Florida.

2) Joe Girardi still in a Marlins uniform.

3) A young talented MLB ready centerfielder (hopefully someone non-arby eligible till at least 2010).

4) Three decent relievers (one reclaimation project and two solid relievers who aren't on their way out).

I forgot about the stadium. That is another must for next year.

Numbers one and two are probably pipe dreams, but I figured I'd post them any ways. ;)

Even Rich and Tommy took a great little jab at Loria during the telecast when Rich mentioned that the bullpen had to be a top priority for next year. Tommy agreed and said if you?re going to build a team around this talented starting pitching you absolutely need to give them some help. He made an analogy of buying a great house and filling it with junk.

 

Yes, definitely a ballpark deal firmly in place would be a dream come true!

A good offseason.

i heard that next week mlb going have meeting with owner and hialeah and miami about ball park let get deal done so we bring help to marlins in 2007

In no particular order:

 

- Three new relief projects, hopefully one being: Kerry Wood (possible), Eric Gagne (doubtful) or Keith Foulke (hopeful). All three have tremendous upside if healthy, but I'd only pick up one. Wood would be a relief pitcher, btw.

- A talented defensive CF who hits for good average and has a bit of pop. Gary Matthews Jr. would be a dream.

- Re-sign Wes Helms and Alfredo Amezaga as bench players.

 

The rest will take care of itself.

Isn't Amezaga still under club control next season? I don't think he is even arby eligible yet. I am definitely for keeping Amezaga. He is the Marlins scrappier version of Rob Mackowiak.

Helms, Amezega, and Cody will be great as bench/spot starters next year

 

I'm just not sold on keeping Treanor. Id like a back-up with some pop at the plate in a Todd Pratt mold.

A couple more I'll add are:

 

7) Lock up Dontrelle Willis in a long term contract (something like 5 years/$30 million).

8) Lock up Miguel Cabrera in a long term contract (maybe 7 years/$70-$80 million).

 

Now these are probably bigger pipe dreams than my numbers one and two, but if we manage to get a stadium deal who knows.
