Marlins2003 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 I just don't have a bead on what Beinfest is up to. Maybe he was talking up Amezaga to make him more attractive. He doesn't need to talk up Amezaga, he's the most asked about player in trade talks and has been for several seasons. Everyone wants him on their bench. As for trading the guy if they are serious about contending they aren't going to trade AA, a known commodity, for an untested and unproven one (and that's not a knock on Bonifacio), or at least that's how I see it. Every move they've made so far is to get better in 2009, even the Olsen/Willingham move although some/most won't agree. AA sticks as long as they are contending is my guess.

PitchingWinsGames Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 AA sticks as long as they are contending is my guess. I disagree in the event of two scenarios... A) They need that last bit of money to sign a FA they feel we need B) They're confident enough in Bonifacio and want to call up somebody that impresses in ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babaru Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Well you don't know what the front office's plan is. Maybe they are going to trade Hermida. Its not like we have any input on the matter. I don't know what the plan is...but I know right from wrong. Lets just say this wouldn't be right. Fine. But not irrelevant.

Marlins2003 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Another nice night by Bonifacio 2-4 with a double, no strikeouts, his average is up to .327, his OBP in the .400s. Totally trivial and inconsequential but what else is there to talk about? :crying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee Ball Bunt Machine Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'll probably be the only person here to say that I don't think Bonifacio actually starting in RF would be the worst thing in the world. Yes, he would obviously be an offensive downgrade with the bat unless he made some huge strides, but he also could potentially also give us much better defense. And while of course it is nice to have big bats at every position on the field, considering that we already have 2 great hitters in the middle of our IF, will likely also have very good hitters at the IF's corners, a good hitting C and a good hitting CF, we could conceivably take the hit offensively if it sures things up defensively. Again, I'm not saying I want it to go down exactly this way, but it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. You can't have (and don't need) a silver slugger at every position.

At least when our players are on the field, i realize that they aren't getting traded in that moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
