December 5, 200718 yr Club Controlled C - Rabelo 1B - Jacobs 2B - Uggla SS - Hanley LF - Hammer CF - Maybin RF - Hermida Reserves - Cody, Carroll SP - Miller, Olsen, Nolasco, Vanden Hurk (or insert Volstad, Gaby, whatever) RP - Lindstrom, Pinto, Tank, Miller, Gardner, Kensing, C. Martinez (omitting Gregg on purpose because I believe they will move him) Arbitration C - Treaner Reserves - Amezaga Pitchers - Mitre 20 Club Controlled Players - $8 million dollars Treaner arbitration - $450k Amezaga arbitration - $650k Mitre arbitration - $750k So basically, the Marlins are at about $10 million in payroll, give or take roundball arby numbers and averaging all the club controlled to $400k, without a starting 3B and Aaron Boone type infield backup. I can easily see them fielding this team for under $12 million dollars. If Gregg turns into something like Andy Marte, and the Marlins resign Boone. The team will literally be making less money than A-Rod by the all star break.
December 5, 200718 yr BTW I think you can get Marte for less than Gregg. He was mediocre this past season and he's out of options.b
December 5, 200718 yr Author BTW I think you can get Marte for less than Gregg. He was mediocre this past season and he's out of options.b I agree too. Hes been horrible for 2 years, but worth a shot to continue the lineage of Phillips/Guthrie. I'd love to grab Marte/Barfield to close out our roster. I wonder Gregg + what gets that done. Shapiro ain't dumb. Regardless, point is.... Cabrera might make more than the team in 2008. It's going to be very close.

I'm kinda thinking they're not done wheeling and dealing yet and still have some $$ to spend somewhere.
December 5, 200718 yr I really don't like Barf-ield (I'm so clever). his numbers against RHP is disgusting in a bad way.
December 5, 200718 yr Ussually, most owners pull something down their sleeves in these situations, but its Loria we're talking about here.
December 5, 200718 yr I have a feeling something is brewing in the coffee pot here, I don't think we are done just yet...
