April 5, 200719 yr I seriously doubt we trade Miggy in the near future. Locking him up is a different story, but I don't think he's going anywhere, or at least getting "sent" anywhere. Well, what happens if you can't lock him up and you end up getting nothing in return? That would be the absolute worst case scenario. key word from TSwift post is near future. . .Which for the Marlins is the 2007 season

Well, what happens if you can't lock him up and you end up getting nothing in return? That would be the absolute worst case scenario. You don't understand the way we operate. We don't even attempt to negotiate long-term deals, so the scenario you present is moot. Miggy can't reject a long term deal if we don't offer it to him, and all bets are off for the 2009 season as far as I'm concerned. Miggy's not going anywhere this season or next, and I'm pretty confident saying that.
April 5, 200719 yr Mhm, and they'll replace him with a nobody cuz Cabrera won't EVER become a yankee bastard. :thumbup :lol I can think of 100 million reasons he would. :mischief2 Miggy is a $200 million player at least when he reaches free agency.
April 5, 200719 yr Miggy is a $200 million player at least when he reaches free agency. How many years?
April 5, 200719 yr Miggy is a $200 million player at least when he reaches free agency. How many years? 2 years pay up
April 5, 200719 yr 2 years pay up Uhhh.... do you take WIC and government cheese?? Ah heck - we'll throw in Bernie Williams too.
April 5, 200719 yr Eventually, the Marlins WILL sign him to a long-term deal. You can say all you want that it "WON'T happen because the FO hasn't ever tried to sign anyone else long-term." But, what other players have come through the system that are the same caliber as Miguel Cabrera? None! My prediction is that he gets his long-term deal after this year, when he wins the NL MVP and finishes with a batting average over .400.

April 5, 200719 yr Yankees don't have the players to trade for Cabrera. they might... Hughes, Tabata, Sanchez, Betances and Joba...

Cashman has done a nice job of restocking the farm recently though
April 5, 200719 yr Cabrera is a ONCE in a lifetime player. There are franchises that have never even sniffed someone as talented as Cabrera on their team. This franchise NEEDS to sign him long term, will it happen, I hope so but I am not sold they will. This FO wont do anything until a staium deal is in place. Once that deal is done then we will see what this FO (Loria & Co.) is made of.
April 5, 200719 yr If Loria gets his stadium deal and still doesn't offer a Cabrera a long term deal, he shouldn't be allowed to own a baseball team.

My prediction is that he gets his long-term deal after this year, when he wins the NL MVP and finishes with a batting average over .400. with all due respect. . . you are in for a rude awakening ....about signing him to a long-term deal, or about him winning the NL MVP? Because I'm almost positive he's going to hit over .400..... No, but really, out of those three things, the most likely scenario will be him winning the NL MVP this season. Did he end up 5th last season? The only reason I brought up the hitting .400 was that my friends and I were discussing that the other day, if we thought anyone would ever do it again. It's hard for me not to be biased, but I honestly think Miguel has about the best chance of anyone in the game of baseball currently. He's already proven he's one of the most naturally gifted hitters out of all of the youngsters in the game. He has a great idea of the strike zone, and has great plate patience. I think his advantage over some of the veterans(Manny Ramirez comes to mind) is that he doesn't have that large contract, so he's not going to sit back and "become lazy"(Manny Ramirez comes to mind). Miguel still has incentive to put up riduculous stats, so that when the day does come for him to sign his long-term contract, he can get the biggest he can. Oh, and on a side-note, my friend is a Rockies fan, and was trying to argue that Admin Walker was a better hitter than Miguel Cabrera will ever be. He is silly. We just laugh at him. He also once said that Todd Helton and Albert Pujols would both finish their careers with similar HR totals. We laughed then, too.
