Willingham has more value at first than in left. Willingham has more value to the team than Jacobs. Hence, I see Jacobs as an odd man out and potential trade-bait along with Nolasco for an outfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have plenty of trade bait without giving up our everyday first baseman with loads of potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Altamonte Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Our 2007 opening day centerfielder is not within our organization yet unless Campusano or De Arza have an incredible off-season and spring...Kool-Aid will be starting CF in triple A. Willy should play winterball he has improved defensively as an outfielder but he can be much better. Our rotation is set except the 5th spot which would require an extraordinary showing by someone in the spring to move a healthy Nolasco to the Bullpen. Hermida will reclaim his spot in RF.

Quadruple Play Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 CF David Samson SS Hanley 2B Uggla 3B Cabrera 1B Jacobs LF Willingham RF Hermida C Olivo P That's why he's been training. Why have the salary of two guys when you can have one? The first player/president in the league. With his short stature (thus minuscue strikezone) he will be draw oodles of walks and be one of the greatest walk machines in baseball history. Rotation: Willis Nolasco Olsen Johnson Sanchez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollyberry Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 C: Olivo 1B: Jacobs or Helms 2B: Uggla SS: Ramirez 3B- Cabrera LF: Willingham CF: Crawford :mischief ... We can dream right? RF: Hermida - Hopefully he is 100% healthy Willis, Anibal, Johnson, Olsen and Nolasco. I fell in love with this rotation and I want it for next year. Edit: I just read something about Nolasco in the pen. It could work if some other starter steps up. Noly could be out 7th inning guy.

CYmarlins Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Awesome thread Accord C - Olivo 1B - Jacobs / Helms Agree with Wild Card on this 2B - Uggla SS - Ramirez 3B - Cabrera LF - Willingham CF - BRING US SOMEONE FAST AND GOOD LOL RF - Hermida Starting Rotation : Willis, Johnson, Olsen, Sanchez, Nolasco or Petit The bullpen I really can't figure out only ppl I would want is Tank, Pinto, Nolasco with everyone else pretty much being taken out and doing a overhaul for a better closer and a stronger long relief and 6th inning man. The CF just needs to be someone who can go and get them, we got the trade bait for it, so we can pick up a proven prospect or a proven major leaguer that wont command much. Maybe even one of those "Ressurect My Career" type players. Bring back Helms off the Bench and keep protecting Jacobs because when he does seem to slump it may take awhile.

Stag5 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 My assumptions are Loria is gauranteed a stadium and increased payroll to approximately $30M. LF Crawford * 2B Uggla RF Hermida 3B Cabrera 1B Jacobs CF Cameron ** 2B Uggla CA Olivo Rotation: 1. Willis 2. Sanchez 3. Olsen 4. Johnson 5. Pinto Bullpen: Closer: Tankersley Setup: Brian Meadows *** Setup: Alan Embree **** LH Specialist: Steve Kline ***** MR: Herges MR: Jose Garcia LR: Mitre (Bowyer, Resop, Messenger and others in the mix) * Willingham, Nolasco & Petit to the Rays for Carl Crawford - I think the Rays can be persuaded to move Crawford with a solid bat(DH/OF) and two people that could probably step right into the rotation. Crawford Contract: 07:$4M, 08:$5.25M, 09:$8.25M club option ($2.5M buyout), 10:$10M club **Camerson - Free Agent 06:$6M, 07:$7M club option ($0.5M buyout) - Padres may pick up his option but if not he can be had for probably around 2yrs/$12-$13M ***Brian Meadows REC 3-6 | SV 8 | ERA 5.40 | WHIP 1.58 ****Alan Embree REC 4-3 | SV 0 | ERA 3.38 | WHIP 1.26 *****Steve Kline REC 4-3 | SV 1 | ERA 3.42 | WHIP 1.50 (This trio can be had via FA for approx $5M) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 All I know is that I wouldn't be terribly surprised if Olsen, Nolasco or Johnson weren't on the team next year. Stag5, I'm not sure WHY you would want to give up Willingham with the season he's had. You are basically substituting a 30-100-.850 (.900) OPS guy for another talented outfielder. Defeats the purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be quite shocked if Olsen isn't here. Ya as I discussed with you yesterday, I'd say he's the long shot of the trio. My reasoning for not including Anibal is because if I seem to remember correctly, he won't be arby eligible until a year after those guys, and he's not a Super 2.

Defeats the purpose. EL, I am a big fan of Willingham but in all honesty he is probably best served in the AL where he can DH more and serve as a 4th/5th OF'er. As for our starting pitchers, we are loaded...and we also have Petit, Pinto, Volstad, etc, etc. We will make trades in the next couple of seasons for depth elsewhere. Carl Crawford is a complete player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYmarlins Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Knowing the Marlins they will most likely be in discussions with the Rays to try and work out a deal for Crawford if Loria does decide to put a little more money out on the table. I just can't see the Marlins trying to pick up Cameron anytime soon or even at all. I would hate to move Willingham but if it does bring Crawford then I would do it in a heart beat. With that being said if we do aquire him we would need to have CF cemented already with a proven player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cy, Cameron's age does concern me...if ya wanna change the name fine but my thought it to make sure we have a solid glove out there who can also hit a little. What if Torii Hunter ends up with the BoSox, would Coco Crisp be intriguing? Probably so and he is not too costly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYmarlins Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Stag5 don't get me wrong I love Mike Cameron I think he can deffinately give us the glove out there in CF with speed and his bat brings power and speed. If the Padres can eat his contract and Marlins can make a move bring him over. If anything thats the type of guy we would need a veteran who can take control of that Outfield and make sure there are no more collisons and dropped outs in the outfield. Torii Hunter would be a dream come true, but just about anyone right now solves the puzzle now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stag5 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Cameron is a FA unless SD picks up Cameron's option @ $7M. They just might do that but then again, maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBCMarlinsFan Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 If the Marlins pick up an expensive centerfielder like Cameron or Hunter, I will be very suprised. With Miguel Cabrera's salary set to to explode starting next season and Olivo entering arbitration, the more likely scenario is the Marlins picking up an OF prospect. Hopefully one with a great range and arm, speed plus a solid bat. Not necessarily a bomber ? we already have enough of those? but good contact/eye. If we are going to spend millions on Cabrera, Willis and Olivo I'd rather the Marlins further expand their payroll by getting some quality bullpen arms and re-signing Wes Helms.

Stag5 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Torii Hunter will be looking at $10-$12MM. Cameron will be 34 years old and if the Padres won't pick up his $7M option no one else will pay him $7M. I figure he gets a 2 year deal for $12-$13M.
