July 31, 200719 yr ESPN 1050 said Marlins will most likely trade Willis by deadline, most likely to NY or Boston. The Mets' top position prospect, Fernando Martinez, and their #2 pitching prospect, Phillip Humber, were pulled from their games today. http://www.philaphans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57258 Take it for what you want. I was wondering why both were pulled but I highly doubt anything is happening, hopefully. If this were to happen, I would shoot myself.
July 31, 200719 yr I know it's most likely horsecrap but :o !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where'd you see this?
July 31, 200719 yr Author It wason a Philly forum but I think it was more of an idiot met fan offering this to a talkshow host then anything. We all know about the yearly Dontrelle to the Mets talk.
July 31, 200719 yr you wasted no time with that luis sig.... jerk, haha. Fernando's 18 years old and in AA. :o
July 31, 200719 yr Author I do know F mart was coming off of hand surgery but it irked me he would be pulled after 1 AB.. This is what the deadline is all about, speculation.
July 31, 200719 yr Interesting speculation. I suppose we'll know within the day if there is any weight behind it
July 31, 200719 yr Author you wasted no time with that luis sig.... jerk, haha. Fernando's 18 years old and in AA. :o lol. Mets kinda rushed him but I dont blame them, he completely destroyed A ball.
July 31, 200719 yr unless they are giving us a stud CF or C then this would be horrible if true Fernando Martinez would be that stud CF
July 31, 200719 yr Author Many scouts have faulted Fernando for his defensie range in CF, I tend to agree because he doesnt have the defensive abilities like a Gomez or Milledge but he is still a prospect. But if he pans out, his bat will more then make up for it.

But if he pans out, his bat will more then make up for it. If he's still two years away from the bigs, range in center field won't be that big of a problem for the Marlins anymore. If we can fill the hole (and yes there's still a hole) in center and bring in a major league ready starter like Humber or Pelfrey at the same time, we have to do it. Even if it is the Mets.
July 31, 200719 yr Eww.... Please dont trade to the Mets. The Mets are becoming the Ex-Marlins Mets. If we trade him I want him to be traded to an American League team or a team we rarely see.
July 31, 200719 yr I have probably said this 1 million times. If we trade Dontrelle now who will take his place in the rotation? Nolasco has never been completely healthy. Even next year JJ and Anibal might not be back. Willis and Kim will be gone. All we would have is Olsen and Mitre. Argh...

Well we'll have Vanden Hurk, Mitre, Olsen, and possibly Gaby Hernandez will be ready. Then all u need is one of Johnson, Sanchez, or Nolasco to come back, or sign a Vet.
July 31, 200719 yr All i've heard was the Cubs were interested, but Boston and NY have money and get whatever they want. I personally want to see him stay with the Marlins.

With that rotation we would be a good bet to once again lead the league in runs allowed. If the goal is to win next year then keep Dontrelle.
