Seriously, what do you think of a Matt Holiday and a package of prospects for Dan Uggla, Mike Jacobs and a SP (Anibal, Olsen)?

 

Here's my reasoning:

 

Holiday is due a raise, in the 7 to 10 million Range. The Rockies might trade him to plug holes at other positions.

 

Uggla is scheduled to earn 5 to 6, Jakkkobs is due 3 to 4 and Olsen is due 2-3 million. Clearing about 10-12 off the books.

 

Holiday is a better LF defensively then Willingham and is what the marlins would lack missing in the middle of the order with Uggla and jakkobs gone.

Uggla and Jakkkobs bring pop to Colorado. Uggla can play left like the author of the article said, or play 2b or 3b. Jakkkobs can sit til Helton retires (isn't he 36 to 38 y/o?) The prospects would be a great one and 2 average ones.

 

I keep hearing Dexter Fowler, IDK who he is, but maybe---

 

Marlins Get:

Matt Holiday

Dexter Fowler

SP Prospect in AA

SP Prospect or OF Prospect in A ball.

 

Rockies Get:

Dan Uggla

Mike Jacobs (Josh Willingham moves to 1B til Gaby Sanchez is ready or Cantu to 1st with Mcphearson at 3b).

Scott Olsen (He's due a raise, although I prefer he stays and Anibal Goes)

First of all, that trade is horrible. It's so horrible I can't even think about it. I think people in Denver would murder their front office if they did that.

 

Second, Holliday makes $13.5 million in 2009 and is a free agent afterwards.

 

Next.

I'm going to address the bold.

 

Why is it a bad trade? On the Rockies end. A All Star 2b under club control who can hit for power and a 2nd or 3rd Starter on that team, not to mention a big bat in Jakkkobs for a guy their trying to move because he's a FA and prospects.

 

I'm going to act like I knew he made 13 mil and a free agent in 2010. *Whistles away*.

Dexter Fowler is a big part of their future, they have a logjam at 1b/3b already with Helton, Atkins, and Stewart rendering Jacobs pointless, and they aren't going to trade pitching away when they are "colorado" and will always need pitching. Olsen isn't impressing anyone.

 

If you want Holliday, who is balls awesome, you need to think like, Uggla, Volstad/Miller, West/Tucker/Mobley, and probably a throw away prospect like Marceaux/C. Martinez/whatever. Yea, that much. Not kidding. Especially when you would be getting type A compensation (two first round picks) in the 2010 draft if you let him walk (which the marlins would).

 

Check this for payroll - http://mlbcontracts.blogspot.com. It's incredibly accurate.

You said you didn't even know who Dexter Fowler is. If you don't know who one of the main parts of a proposed trade is...just don't post it and then argue why it's not a ridiculously dumb trade?

 

I think that should be a rule to be able to post on the board...

I said 2 or 3 prospects- 1 great one and 2 average ones. I threw Fowler in there because his name is popping up alot and figured that would qualify as "Great".

Outfield is set. Maybin, Hermida, Ross if they bring him back, or Raynor(who IMO would have a very similar stat line to Hunter Pence). If Uggla and Jacobs go we lost alot of HRs, since their respective replacements would likely struggle to put up 10 combined, but hopefully better discipline at the plate comes about(although I have my doubts with Presley still on the staff). Just shore up the bullpen and the bench, no need to make hasty trades.

2007 Hunter Pence or 2008?

I echo the sentiments already said - stupid idea.

Is either accurate in the first place.

 

Victorino light is the best case scenario comp.

I love Uggla being a LFer now

 

How does that beat writer not get axed the second that article is out there?

The funny thing is though is that now the casual baseball fan on mlbtraderumors.com will now spout it off as fact and somehow think a Torrealba type catcher is what we want for Uggla.

 

I'm counting down until we see the article that says Bengie Molina for Uggla works perfect for both teams...
