VolSTUD LUVer Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index...%3dolney_buster  according to ESPN: The Tigers could theoretically dangle Magglio Ordonez in trade talks in an effort to get pitching, coming off a year in which Ordonez batted .321 with 21 homers and 103 RBIs. But Ordonez is due to make $18 million next year, and he will turn 35 in January at a time when the industry has become extraordinarily skeptical about the ability of players to consistently produce into their late 30s.  anyone slightly interested? he could replace willingham in left or play RF while cody plays left....he is kinda old tho...and 18 mil is a chit load...but who knows?

Schnellders Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 A package of Ordonez and a certain Miguel Cabrera would get me interested lolol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbethan Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Is A-Rod on the block? He could be a great addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnellders Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Is A-Rod on the block? He could be a great addition. Could be part of a deal so that Madonna regularly performs at the Super Saturdays..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Godfather Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I say we offer them Andrew Miller for Miguel Cabrera plus they pay half his salary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillerTime Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 We generally field teams that make as much collectively as he does in one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yokofox33 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Are we seriously going to make a thread on every player that's on the trading block and pretend we're going to get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nny Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Is A-Rod on the block? He could be a great addition. I don't know how legit those "part ownership" things were when A-Rod was an FA but Jesus God thing would have been awesome.

PitchingWinsGames Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Also, Barry Bonds is still a FA just sayin' and still is only asking for the ML Minimum... e.g. less than Gonzo :mischief  Just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee Ball Bunt Machine Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 If they wanted to pay his salary, I'd gladly send them Hermida, Hammer, Gregg, and maybe even a younger SP. I'd take Barrig?n in LF too if he was affordable.

dim Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Like I said, fans can dream all they want, although I would not want an aging OF'er for 18 million bucks. We could sign Uggla and package off some of that money with Olsen to get one of Texas' big 3 catchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr marlin Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I would ask them about Justin Verlander or Jeremy Bonderman (like their avaliable though lol). But the one that I would seriously ask about is Brandon Inge. He is a trumendous player. He can catch and play third base, so he could be a great utility player. Or maybe we can trash Jacobs, move Cantu to first, and put Inge at third. He would just be a great addition to this team. But as for Maggs? I doubt that the fish would even think about him. Too old and too much money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo McDonald Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Inge: 09:$6.3M, 10:$6.6MÂ next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinsLou Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Inge: 09:$6.3M, 10:$6.6MÂ next. Don't forget the .680 OPS he has his last 950 PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMarlinPride Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Not saying we are going to get him but im sure he'd love to come becasue of the main reason that his son and wife live in Las Olas(I played with his son last season and they look exactly alike). But if we had the money or the Room for him i would love to have Mags as a part of the team he is such a good hitter and can back up his talk with that silver slugger.
