October 11, 200323 yr After a helluva personal and Marlins team run, I wonder if Jack will return next Season. Team "seems" young and developing but there will, I think, be some changes. A-Gon will be all gone. The highly talented short-stop has not grown in years. He still has trade value. Derrick Lee, the premiere defensive first baseman in all of baseball shows an annoying propensity for delaying his traditional second half offensive rally. He has trade value. Cabrera can play short (unless Lowell is cut loose for financial reasons... a mistake, but possible.) Conine can play first for at least a year. Pudge may not be re-signed unless he accepts a salary discount. (Meanwhile, no one seems to be paying attention to Castro's criminal complications.) And Ozzie... gone to Chicago. Done deal? Or is he being quietly romanced by the Marlins FO? Stove is going to be very hot this winter. Meanwhile, I couldn't be prouder of the team we have on the field right now! And thank you Jack.
October 11, 200323 yr Marlins want an extension. ESPECIALLY if he wins his second NL Manager of the Year award in his last three managerial years.
October 11, 200323 yr well, the reason no one pays attention to Ramon Castro and his criminal complications is because we havent heard anything new... If Jack wants to come back, he will be back.... thats how I feel let Ozzie get the managerial job in ChiTown unless we are grooming here for our future managerial post does dlee have trade value? he should, but teams wont give up the farm for him Alex is blech
October 11, 200323 yr Author As someone above said, we don't know the Castro criminal complications deal. Yet, so many of us are counting on him. With our heads in the sand.
October 11, 200323 yr Well I read somewhere that Pudge wants to stay here. How much they will be willing to pay for him is another story. Conine is good for several more years and I just don't see Mike Lowell leaving this team. Loria and Sampson know that he is the heart of this team and the guy the fans love to cheer for. It wouldn't surprise me to see D Lee gone next year as well as Luis Castillo. But all this talk is depressing and I'm in the hre and now. I'm not ready yet to worry about the 2004 Marlins when my 2003 Marlins aren't finished yet! :thumbup
