June 15, 201115 yr Becoming sellers when the team is less thana YEAR from a new ball park is terrible BUT...it depends who you sell and for what... Leo Nunez can be traded. Makes a lot and if the team can't snap out of it's funk and win soon, don't need his services. Gaby Sanchez. Hear me out. LoMo can play 1st...and if the Marlins can get the lottery for Gaby, do it, and I mean it. Lottery means a good MLB starting pitcher. However, I would wait until after the season on a Gaby move. Seriously. Cogs sucks...trade him for what you can get. DO NOT TRADE LOMO OR STANTON. OR HAYES Volstad is gone after this season if things don't change.... You lose me when u say keep Hayes but not Cogs. Hayes is hot this year and Cogs is slumping big time... but I'd rather keep Coghlan long term over Hayes if I had to choose.

I'm a fan of Hayes, not so much Buck. I can't see Hayes being traded unless if it's part of a package deal to get a decent MLB starting pitcher or maybe a pretty good AAA Starting pitcher that is almost ready or something.
June 15, 201115 yr Personally think the only untouchables should be Gaby, Morrison, Stanton, Anibal. JJ is a beast when he is healthy but he's just so damn fragile and if someone is willing to still pay high value for Hanley thinking this slump is just an aberration I say go for it.
June 15, 201115 yr C'mon, Hanley and JJ are still the future of this team. Don't need a new identity going into the new ball park. I want to see a team that even ESPN thinks can win going into 2012.
June 15, 201115 yr Author When did Brett Hayes become an untouchable (not that any team would really want him in a trade, anyway)?
June 15, 201115 yr When did Brett Hayes become an untouchable (not that any team would really want him in a trade, anyway)? Eh, he's still hitting over .300 in his limited playing time. Decent back up. Rather get rid of Buck to be honest. That or let Hayes start more to rest Buck.
June 15, 201115 yr Maybe we will win tomorrow :shrugs And maybe Angelina Jolie will walk into my apartment and take off her clothes. Can you call me and invite me over if that happens?? Ppppplease!! So anyway, I missed the game so can someone please tell me how Hanley, our Star-Fish did in his return? ....get it, StarFish...starfish... :shifty
June 15, 201115 yr I think 0-for-4. Oh Hey Hey Hayes can play 1st base as well...another reason to trade Gaby after this season for something.
June 15, 201115 yr I think 0-for-4. Oh Hey Hey Hayes can play 1st base as well...another reason to trade Gaby after this season for something. Blah..thanks Enter.
June 15, 201115 yr I think 0-for-4. Oh Hey Hey Hayes can play 1st base as well...another reason to trade Gaby after this season for something. Blah..thanks Enter. I want to get his autograph and ask him when he's gonna hit again and not be useless...
June 15, 201115 yr OMGZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We lost without Hanley Ramirez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0-4 with 2 strikeouts. 0-1 since hes been back, turrible just turrible. I wouldn't be surprised if this team is tied for last place tomorrow.
June 15, 201115 yr Good lord, this losing streak is so bad, some people on here now value Hayes higher than both Hanley and JJ longterm... this has to end immedietaly.
June 15, 201115 yr Author I think 0-for-4. Oh Hey Hey Hayes can play 1st base as well...another reason to trade Gaby after this season for something. If Brett Hayes ever becomes our starting catcher, I might cry. If Brett Hayes ever becomes our starting 1B, I will definitely cry; that's worse than sticking Bonifacio at 3B for an entire year.
June 15, 201115 yr Dumb to giveup on cogs this soon. No way leo is with the team next season. I disagree. I don't think Coghlan is going to be anything special. Really, what has this guy shown you that you like him so much? He flat out sucks.
June 15, 201115 yr Brett Hayes has 129 career at bats...why all the hate? Geez. Yes, .248 avg...but small sample size. Damn.
June 15, 201115 yr Author Brett Hayes has 129 career at bats...why all the hate? Geez. Yes, .248 avg...but small sample size. Damn. .248/.302/.367 (.669 .OPS) -----------> Brett Hayes career minor league #'s. He's never hit at any level in the minor leagues. It's not likely that he's become a solid hitter overall because he's done well this year in a small sample of at-bats. Backup catcher fine, I guess (for what it's worth, he never makes this team if John Baker is healthy). It's highly unlikely that he'll ever be a starter, and it's for good reason.
June 15, 201115 yr Whatever, stop raining on the parade. (I follow Brett on twitter lol among others)
June 15, 201115 yr Jose Ceda and Jose Lopez coming with Villanueva to philly tomorrow. http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_baseball_marlins/2011/06/florida-marlins-pair-of-joses-lopez-ceda-travel-to-philly-with-villanueva.html
June 15, 201115 yr Author Jose Ceda and Jose Lopez coming with Villanueva to philly tomorrow. http://blogs.sun-sen...villanueva.html Gonna be tough without Ozzie Martinez.
June 15, 201115 yr I'd take Mike Jacobs over Brett Hayes at 1st base. Raining on that parade...what if Hayes reads this? Maybe it enrages him and he goes all Cody Ross and has 10 straight home runs in mostly pinch hit at bats.

Maybe it enrages him and he goes all Cody Ross and has 10 straight home runs in mostly pinch hit at bats. Hey man, it's just being realistic. Hayes isn't known for a bat. Or even for some power. So far he's been great from a backup position. Things change drastically once you become an everyday starter though. Add that to the fact that you want to play him out of his position... you're asking for trouble. Hayes can play 1st base. That doesn't necessarily mean he's a 1st baseman. I can play 1st base too. I'd imagine a lot of catchers probably can.
June 15, 201115 yr Tonight has firmly cemented in my mind the fact that Volstad SUCKS...Don't give me that his last few starts were quality and that makes him decent bullsh*t... If this team is serious about winning next year, I wouldnt even give Volstad the #5 spot next year...Get rid of that crap. As much as I like Gaby, I wouldn't cry if he was traded: Not only are we dealing with players that do not even have 2 years of MLB experience, but we are playing them for lack of better terminology "not in their regular positions...i.e. LoMo and Cogz" ... so the FO beleives that: A) Inexperienced kids can carry the offense all year without good veterans with them B) They can just stick players anywhere out on the field C) Bench and overall roster depth is not needed or important.... Next year's opening day roster is gonna really tell how serious they are
June 15, 201115 yr Ceda made his ML debut on the first game of a DH in Philly last year. And he gets called up to the bigs during a DH in Philly this year. Weird.

If he develops well enough, then Sanchez can be a very good trading piece.
