October 31, 200817 yr Had a discussion with a friend today.... Wanted to see what the board would think.... Cordero, Out-righted to AAA today, he refused, making him a Free Agent... Of course had his serious injury but what do you think? B'Pen arm? Low risk, high reward? ST invite.. Yes? No? Maybe?
October 31, 200817 yr No BTW: He earned 6.8 million dollars in 2008, what do you think he will want for the 2009 season? I doubt he will sign for minimum cash
October 31, 200817 yr hell yes. huge reward for a low risk. big market team will over pay for him and look stupid when he sucks
October 31, 200817 yr No Let me elaborate, it has already been said that he is going to miss all of the 2009 season. We do not need to sign a guy to be on the DL no it hasnt. he is hoping to be back by st.

We do not need to sign a guy to be on the DL no it hasnt. he is hoping to be back by st. I am sorry, reading an old article, but he IS coming back from a major injury that kept him out almost all of this season. He will not be in top form
October 31, 200817 yr We also have Henry Owens returning, Ryan Tucker most likely becoming a full time reliever, Pinto being ready for the beginning of the season, Badenhop most likely being in the pen, Lindstrom closing, and we just got that reliever from KC, no need to spend unnessesary cash
October 31, 200817 yr its not unneccessary cash, a minor league to 1 million dollar deal for a former all star closer would not be wating cash
October 31, 200817 yr Author Hes going to be ready for ST, please dont compare Owens to Cordero.... thats a joke

Owens is another that's going to have to throw well in Spring Training to earn a spot. As of now, you got Lindstrom, Nunez, Pinto, and Tucker having, basically, guaranteed spots in the pen. The rest should be battling for the remaining spots, come March.
October 31, 200817 yr Hes going to be ready for ST, please dont compare Owens to Cordero.... thats a joke Never compared the two. Cordero is still young, and is the second youngest player ever to 100 saves. It all comes down to how much it would cost to get him, period. Cordero has to prove to US that he can get back in shape. It is easy to say you are going to be ready for Spring Training, it is another thing entirely to actually be ready

When healthy, Henry Owens is fantastic. But his career might be close to being over so it may not matter.

Owens is another that's going to have to throw well in Spring Training to earn a spot. As of now, you got Lindstrom, Nunez, Pinto, and Tucker having, basically, guaranteed spots in the pen. The rest should be battling for the remaining spots, come March. What has Tucker done to guarantee a spot? The pen is: Lindstrom, Nunez, Nelson, Pinto Kensing is out of options, so if he isn't on the team he is gone. Tankeresly is the most veteran of everyone else. And then you have Tucker, Cruz, Delgado, Owens, Gardner, and maybe Vanden Hurk, Thompson, or Badenhop if they want to turn them into relievers. Also, if they keep Olsen, one of Anibal/Miller is guaranteed. I'd hardly say guaranteed. ------- Cordero will get a huge incentive laden deal from someone else. Not for us.
October 31, 200817 yr he'll want to much even though he currently isn't worth it because of the injury. my prediction is he'll get signed by the mets

When healthy, Henry Owens is fantastic. But his career might be close to being over so it may not matter. rhodes is coming back and henry owens was a jason vargas throw in. he pitched for 2 months and people think he is something special but he really isnt
October 31, 200817 yr Henry Owens was not a throw in. What the hell are you talking about? http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/O/Henry-Owens.shtml And Arthur Rhodes is a free agent.

The organization just seems really high on Tucker after the year he had in AA, so I think he'll get a spot. As far as Nelson...don't we have to sign him back, first?
October 31, 200817 yr i hope DLC doesn't make the major league roster because he just sucked last season
October 31, 200817 yr i hope DLC doesn't make the major league roster because he just sucked last season Potential.
October 31, 200817 yr I don't think Nelson will cost more than 750-800k to sign. Considering the solid season he had, as well as his experience to complement a young bullpen, I think there's a good chance the FO brings him back.

Considering the solid season he had, as well as his experience to complement a young bullpen, I think there's a good chance the FO brings him back. Well, the Marlins usually replace experienced journeymen relievers, like Nelson. To be honest, I'm not sure what Doug Waechter's contract situation is...but I'd rather have Waechter over Nelson.
