How much is it we have to pay for the use of Landshark Stadium each year? I'm sure I read a couple of years ago it was like $40m per season, even though that seems a huge amount of money.

Uggla has the most value and will the the one who is moved before Ross. We don't have anybody to replace Ross right now, we can just slide Coughlan to 2nd or 3rd and get whater starting pitcher for him. If the Giants gave up ALderson for Sanchez we can get someone right? And Lou has already outlined the arb process thats gonna take place. Cantu is expendable if the right deal comes along, we were gonna trade him for J. Sanchez before the season so I don't think that he's that hard to replace. Plus if Ugg's is at 8 million then isn't that like a 8% of the payroll at 40 million? Doesn't sound like Marlin economics to me. Plus Uggla's value is at an all-time high so maybe we steal somebody great for somebody who's more likely on the way down the hill rather than up. I say trade uggla, hermidand Cantu and load up on SP since all our depth in rookie ball or in the bigs already.

Get your calculator out boy - $8m would be 20% of a $40m payroll

In a perfect world the Marlins wouldn't have to trade any of these guys. I don't see the reason for the Marlins to be so cheap anymore. When the Indians moved into Jacobs Field they had all of their young players locked up and they were a good team for a long time. Why can't or won't the Marlins do the same thing?

Because the world isn't perfect.

Those guys won't be easy to replace especially with the money the Marlins are willing to spend on players.

I disagree.

At least on Cantu.

A .780 .OPS from a corner infielder who isn't all that good defensively is not difficult to replace.

It could be a few lean years ahead. We should reload after this season. Uggla will bring back a number of good players. I think Hermida will be gone (maybe for a veteran SP?) and Cantu could be gone. I see Ross coming back for sure with Cantu probably coming back, unless someone comes and offers us a great deal. That could be possible since he was solid this year.
