Developing Prospects

What is the point of getting so many prospects if when they break out and become awesome players, they get traded away???

The Marlins just develop prospects for that later they can be "sold".

 

Next player traded: Hanley Ramirez

Today's topic: The reserve clause

 

Teams hold the rights of players for 6 fully-played years in the majors. In the first 3, they have no say over their contract. The following 3, their price is restrained (or helped) by the arbitration process. That's yet another reason why teams value holding onto young talent on their rosters - they're productive and cheap. Now, consider the Marlins, they want productivity and must be cheap. Therefore they exploit the system by trading players who get too expensive for players that can't contest their wages.

if Loria gets his free stadium

Dolphins Stadium is just fine for a AAA ballclub. Loria should not get a dime of public money. If he wants to build a new park, he can finance it himself.

Thats exactly what we do...
