A few payroll ideas for next year

Featured Replies

Burnett will stay. No way they let him go, and if he leaves he is traded. His value is WAY too high.

 

Everyday that passes I am more sure Vlad will patrol RF in JRS with that Black and Teal on March 6th.....

Attention all KMART shoppers !!!!

 

We have a discontinued item in aisle 6

 

Repeat aisle 6

 

One Eric Young, only 12 years in the majors, like new, can't make the Brewers, cut by the Giants, hits like crap and fields that good too !!!

 

Only $2,000,000 of your hard earned money

 

Atttention all KMART shoppers....

:lol :lol :lol

WOW. I'm hope you are right. I would say at least 10 clubs will be competing for Vlad.

 

In addition, I heard Berardino saying that Vlad would like to come and play here, but that the Players Union wouldn't allow Vlad to give to much of a discount because he is the highest ranked 2004 free agent out there. And that the Marlins won't be able to pay top dollars for it.

We cant allow more than 1 member of the infield leave. Youll Break up the Defense and DP combo if you have 2 or more leave. I can see Jeff Playing 1st, and Dlee being Gone, but you still need that Agonz and Luis Combo. If Lowell Leaves then Cabs can play 3rd, but Lowell is a fan favorite.

 

Me personally, as much as i love my team and I think good D saves games (Those 2 DPs during Game 6 were very VERY valuable)... I think Dlee and Encarnacion will leave. I dont want them to leave, cause i have high expectations for both of them even. I think Dlee still hasnt shown his full potential and also Encarnacion. But i will choose Luis over Dlee or Encarnacion any day. And i like Juanky's Idea with Vladimir Guerrero

They are no good to me and they won't do that cuz Vlad will pretend Donald is Brad Penny and race at him with a bat.

 

I only see three possible markets landing Vlad, due in part to all the different characteristics I have heard about him and what I have noticed about him in the times I have seen him: Montreal, Baltimore, and Miami. As much as he might not extremely enjoy Montreal, he is the kind of guy that will give them a chance. If the Orioles sign someone else first (ala maybe a Gary Sheffield?) then that should free up my purchasing of a Guerrero 27 jersey (yes, I will break my rule). So come on Gary, help the old club.

You don't see the Yankees going after him?

No, here is why:

 

- He doesn't like having a big profile. New York tends to give you one.

- New York is getting ready to self implode on itself. Big changes coming, and you might even see a payroll CUT

- He is going to go somewhere else where he can be with either people he knows (Loria and Co.) or can be low profile (Baltimore or Miami (for baseball anyways)). He doesn't really strike as the all about the money kind of guy.

I see A-rod patroling the ss position in jrs with that black and teal on march 6. :lol

Exactly.

 

That's why he loves playing for (not in) Montreal. He's not a guy that likes pressure (not saying he can;t perform under it). He doesn't like to be put under the microscope.

Anyone who thinks Steinbrenner isn't going to make a run at Vlady has to have his head examined. The board at OriolesHangout.com are for the most part reconciled to being outbid for Guerrero by the Yanks.

New York also Wants Vlad. They also want a 2B and to deal Nick Johnson.

 

It Depends what all these Marlin FA's Get Offered in the Open Market... If No One Offers Castillo more than 4 Million, I see him in Miami.

 

The Fish should take up on the 3 Year 21 Million (i Guess thats 7 Mil Each Minus Incentives) That Pudge said he would Consider..

pudge said he'd consider 3 yr 21 mil? i didnt know he actually stated that.. thats not too bad, i'd take that

Remember, money talks. I hate to say it, but I see our chances to Vlad very slim.

 

God, I hope I'm wrong . . .

pudge said he'd consider 3 yr 21 mil? i didnt know he actually stated that.. thats not too bad, i'd take that

I heard that this morning, and that would clear EVEN MORE room for Vlad.....

 

Vlad-Pudge

 

Keep repeating that to yourself, remembering who we have pitching, who will be batting 5th and 6th, and who we have leading off.....

That's where I think he's going to end up: Camden Yards.

 

And Nick Johnson sure does sound good to me...

1. Pierre CF

2. ???? I hope Castillo 2B

3. Pudge C

4. Vlad (I can dream) RF

5. Lowell 3B

6. Cabs LF

7. Conine 1B

8. Gonzalez SS

 

 

Drolls

I would have it:

 

CF Pierre

2B Castillo

RF Guerrero

C Pudge

3B Lowell

LF Cabrera

1B Conine

SS Gonzalez

 

R Beckett

R Penny

L Willis

R Pavano

L Redman

He's never said that. It's been rumored that those numbers have been tossed around, but whether that's just from the Marlins or if it's actually between both parties, no way to be sure yet.

 

My thinking is they'll have to part with 3 of these big-ticket players:

 

Encarnacion

Lee

Castillo

Lowell

Pudge

Urbina

 

If they get really creative and/or players take hometown discounts, maybe that number could be 2 instead of 3.
