July 14, 200719 yr It wouldn't be right to go a day without a new Willis rumor. Once again, via mlbtraderumors.com and Ken Rosenthal: Rosenthal's Latest Video: A-Rod, WillisThere's a new video up with Ken Rosenthal contributing. Let's see what the man had to say this time: According to Rosenthal, Alex Rodriguez will opt out, and he will get $30MM a year. The coverage of this story is just beginning, unfortunately. The Marlins have been telling teams they won't move Dontrelle Willis; they think they're still in contention. The Fish are 7.5 out in the NL East and 8 out for the Wild Card. The simulations I've seen give the Marlins a 1-3% chance at making the playoffs. Would Willis command a stronger package of prospects if dealt now or during the offseason? Dave George thinks his stock will continue to fall, and he needs a change of scenery (Willis heard boos at home for maybe the first time last night). However, Rosenthal's contention is supported by Juan C. Rodriguez - apparently, only one scout was at Willis's start last night (a Royals guy who lives in Florida anyway).
July 14, 200719 yr Author apparently, only one scout was at Willis's start last night (a Royals guy who lives in Florida anyway). Isn't it about time for the Royals to trade off another centerfielder?........Damon.......Beltran......I could see DeJesus wearing teal... :shifty

It's like seeing Mark Wiley there and assuming the Rockies have interest.
July 14, 200719 yr if Seattle can give us what we need we should still move him. Dontrelle for Ichiro? :shifty
July 15, 200719 yr if Seattle can give us what we need we should still move him. Dontrelle for Ichiro? :shifty More like Dontrelle, Olsen, Volstad and Jacobs for Ichiro.
July 15, 200719 yr I just wonder if Beinfest is afraid that trading Dontrelle (especially in the middle of the season) would be crippling to the clubhouse, moreso than the on field stuff.
July 15, 200719 yr I know D-Train is a gamer, but the way he's pitched lately how much will the Marlins be able to command in a trade? That said I wouldn't want to see him traded.
July 15, 200719 yr Lets just sign A-Rod. hahaha funny. that would be sick though. Move Miguel to first
July 15, 200719 yr if Seattle can give us what we need we should still move him. Dontrelle for Ichiro? :shifty More like Dontrelle, Olsen, Volstad and Jacobs for Ichiro. Ok!
July 16, 200719 yr It's like seeing Mark Wiley there and assuming the Rockies have interest. I wish Wiley was our pitching coach.
