July 22, 200917 yr In order to contend the rest of the season we're going to need another bat. Matt Holliday would be a nice fit, the A's are out of contention and they took him from Colorado for Huston Street, Greg Smith and Carlos Gonzalez last off-season. He would be a mid-season rental, but that could turn out big for us, this would mean we would replace Hermidas' bat with a valuable addition to the lineup. He is being paid $13 million and is a FA after this season.
July 22, 200917 yr I don't know if I want Beinfest to spend $5 million and Billy Beane's pick of prospects to add an .800 OPS to this highly flawed team.
July 22, 200917 yr We need several consistant bats, and an entire consistant pitching staff (with the exception of Josh Johnson). If the Marlins are not going to upgrade salaries until after 2012, then they also need a coaching staff that can train the majority of these should-be-minor-leaguers. Joe Girardi was the answer.
July 22, 200917 yr We need a closer. Isn't that what the front office has been trying to get (all this bullpen help) and for what? We can't even get to the later innings with leads. When we do it's because we luck out with guys walking in the final runs. This team has had plenty of opportunities to blow games wide open, but they haven't. Upper Management is a joke. Go get a big bat for crying out loud!!!
July 22, 200917 yr What about Mark Teahen??? .290+ average 9HR. he makes 3.5 million this year and KC is out of it
July 22, 200917 yr What about Mark Teahen??? .290+ average 9HR. he makes 3.5 million this year and KC is out of it everyone on here wants him he would be perfect and i think if we had him we could win the wild card.
