May 26, 200719 yr Penguino...is there anyway that you can just post that sig of Julio(it's great) and not say anything else? It would improve your opinion of things.
May 26, 200719 yr Because I am the only person who wants to trade Willis, right? Hardly. As I said a few posts back you're in the majority on Dontrelle, sadly. It's your opinion of all things Marlins that's usually off, IMO. I know there's the block feature, but I don't think it's right to censor opinions that I disagree with, and occasionally you have something to say that makes sense, whether I agree or disagree. In all of MB, there's only 1 poster who I block, and it's because his posts are worthless in all respects.
May 26, 200719 yr I'm not avoiding anything. Most here know how I feel about the notion of trading Dontrelle. If you don't, just go back to the last 2 out of the 497 threads before this that talk about a Dontrelle trade. I've made my opinion very clear.
May 26, 200719 yr What if my mets offered Phillip Humber and Milledge, would you guys take that for Dontrelle?
May 26, 200719 yr What if my mets offered Phillip Humber and Milledge, would you guys take that for Dontrelle? might even have to throw in Niese too edit: then again, Mets Brass is way down on Lastings these days, so the Marlins may be able to get him for much cheaper
May 26, 200719 yr I wouldn't trade D-Train for anyone this year (well, any "can't miss" prospect). Let's play this year and see how our "stacked" pitching, the majority of which is on the DL or underachieving in the minors, plays out.
May 26, 200719 yr Willis will eventually land on another team. With our front office, its inevitable. However, I am not quite sure we can afford to part with him at the moment because of all our injuries. I mean, we are starting freaking Wes Obermeuller tonight..........
May 26, 200719 yr Willis wouldn't be a #1 starter almost anywhere else in the league except for maybe with a team like Washington. He's not really an ace anymore. I'm with penguino on this. Trade him for catching cornerstone and maybe a pitching prospect.
May 27, 200719 yr What if my mets offered Phillip Humber and Milledge, would you guys take that for Dontrelle? Me personally, yes I would. Rather have Pelfrey instead of Humber and I think the Mets would make that offer. For some reason though I don't think Beinfest and the Marlins FO is very high on Milledge.

May 27, 200719 yr What should happen...Chipper Jones should move to 1B since he has always sucked defensively at 3rd anyway and is getting worse as he gets older. Move Salty and his strong arm to 3B and hope he can pull a Brandon Inge.
May 27, 200719 yr I'm not as sold on Salty as everyone else seems to be. Catching prospects usually get overrated and his defense is not the greatest. He was not that good last year in the minors with a .230 BA. I would want more back from the braves for Dontrelle. I've heard of some scouts comparing his arm to Lo Duca's.
May 27, 200719 yr We have plenty of pitching. We dont have much catching. We dont have the collective testicles to do something like this. Factor in that we are beyond cheap and its going to happen at some point. Without DTrain the rotation would be Mitre, Olsen, Obermueller, Kim and ? I wouldn't be impressed.

May 27, 200719 yr ...and I thought I heard somewhere recently that the Fish were looking for 3 legitimate can't-miss prospects for Dontrelle...that would make Salty 1/3 of the equation. Dontrelle for Salty,______, and ________.
May 27, 200719 yr ...and I thought I heard somewhere recently that the Fish were looking for 3 legitimate can't-miss prospects for Dontrelle...that would make Salty 1/3 of the equation. Dontrelle for Salty,______, and ________. The Braves have one of the worse farm systems in baseball right now. They don't have anybody else I would really want, thats the problem.
May 27, 200719 yr Dontrelle for a prospect? LOL It would be more like Dontrelle for him and about two or three other top prospects on top of it... It wouldn't be THAT bad IF it was made after we had a healthy rotation. Dontrelle's salary would be nixed, we'd add depth to the batting order, it'd give us an opportunity to unload Olivo to a team desperately needing a catcher, and it'd give us a spot in the rotation for another young arm to flourish at the league minimum... Depending on the other prospects in the deal, despite how much I love Dontrelle I'd have to do it. Honestly, I'd rather trade Dontrelle for McCann straight up, and I don't think there would be TOO many kinks to work out in a deal like that...
May 27, 200719 yr Except for the fact that the Braves wouldn't do that sure we would. :thumbup McCann for Willis? You're crazy
May 27, 200719 yr Except for the fact that the Braves wouldn't do that sure we would. :thumbup McCann for Willis? You're crazy thought you were talking about salty. he's a south florida boy, you can have him.
