As much as having a guy like Pujols on the team would be amazing, we need to spend this money on some pitching. CJ Wilson should be our top priority. And if by some miracle CC Sabathia doesnt stay in NY, get his fat ass over here too.

I think I just came to the realization that that won't happen.

 

 

Yeah, me too.

 

How dare you.

why have we all of a sudden given up on reyes?

Hell yeah! I wanna go out on bird road with my pots and pans!

why have we all of a sudden given up on reyes?

 

 

I'm not. I personally still thank that would be the best option amongst the hitters. Moving Hanley off SS would be worth it on it's own, and we might have the fastest 1-4 in major leagues with Reyes-Bonifacio-Hanley-Stanton. And I think the park is going put runs at a premium, so guys who can put it in the gigantic outfield gaps and fly will do exceptionally well there.

The Reyes option would be great, I have little expectation of seeing that.

Pujols is one of the best players in baseball and will still have trade value far into his deal.

 

There's no reason not to do it.

 

As far as Reyes, he's often injured and he's having a career year which is unlikely to ever repeat itself.

All he has to do is be the player he was from 2006-2008 and he's more than worth whatever he gets. The production isn't the reason to doubt him; it's the injuries. Solely. If he's healthy, he's an easy 5 win player.

The injuries are what scares me with Reyes.

Prince Fielder would be a grand slam of an acquisition. Baseball's new bash brothers.. He's young with a big time personality to build the franchise and new stadium around. Don't kid yourself about his weight.. the guy is an athlete and a pure hitter. Would be a huge star in Miami.

i have say this if marlin want full ballpark we need bring one big name player that sell ticket after season one at ballpark we know first season we full it up but second season is ????? it depend how we do this team not build to win alot game we need rebuild it with one big name player so we wont see record like we have now at new ballpark

All you need to do is 10 min of research to learn that obese players dont last long into their 30s. Prince is the heaviest player ever under 6 ft. No thanks.

 

 

He's also the type of guy who really only has value if he's OPSing .950+. He's had two seasons of .870 OPSes, and they were basically as valuable as Gaby Sanchez this year because his fielding and baserunning hold so little (or have negative) value.

 

If we're going to go all out for a 1B, it should be Pujols. Fielder is way, way low on my list of free agent hopes.

now that I think of it, lets not compare pujols to lebron..... we all know how that went for the heat last year..

 

 

They made the Finals. If the Marlins make the World Series next year I won't complain.

 

If they finish over .500 I won't complain.

Big names arent magic wands. Its been proven before with the marlins and even the heat.

 

Is that you Confucius?

 

Come on. This ain't happening. Loria's a penny pincher all these years and he's gonna all of a sudden quintuple the payroll.

That's true. 58 x 5 = 100.

Math!

I thought the payroll was around 30 or 40 million.

That can be construed is the end of the world, but it won't actually end. It'll just be in geological chaos. It will start snowing regularly in Florida and Canadians(the ones that are still alive) will go surfing in Prudhoe Bay as a result of the poles shifting.

I pay you a compliment and you insult me. What did I ever do to you?

Oh okay. So 30 x 5 = 100 and 40 x 5 = 100.

Think about it...

 

Loria & Co. fleeced Miami for paying for the field and is cashing in on endorsements and advertisement rights. Plus I heard one of his art pieces made BANK.

 

Brotha's got dough to flow.

can someone photoshop a leaked Marlins logo cap on Pujols so I can annoy people on other forums?

Who cares if the organization is gonna spend money... It's not our money that they are spending, the ticket prices are already going to be insane, at least give me 5 years of Pujols' steady production (or Fielder)...

 

If Samson claims that

they want to re-brand the franchise, then re-brand the culture (whatever that means) and take a shot at something big... otherwise this franchise will be the same as it has always been by the time opening day 2013 comes by..

 

 

5 steady years would leave us with 5 not-so-steady years. That could potentially cripple this organization.

 

I'm tired of thinking about the future the future is now... Pujols will put us on the map, when he starts sucking, I'll deal with it.

 

If it means that we're going to be the laughing stock of the MLB in 2017, so be it (we already are a laughing stock...last place team, horrible attendance and stadium, in-competent FO, and a crazy new logo), So if it means that we will contend with Pujols for the next 5 years and then we'll be crippled I'll take that.

 

We've technically been crippled from 1998 to 2002 and 2006 to now...That's eleven of the franchise's 19 years.

 

When he starts sucking, you'll begin saying how dumb the organization was to not give itself any flexibility, whatsoever.

 

Pujols doesn't guarantee anything, anyway. The Cardinals have a great middle of the lineup now (Pujols, Holliday, Berkman) and they're a couple of games away from not making the playoffs.

 

It's about fielding the best possible team. I'm not saying Albert Pujols won't improve this team because he improves every team, but this team isn't just a 1B away from solving all their prayers.

 

For all the sh*t Gaby Sanchez is getting, he's been a 3 WAR player this year.

 

I'd say we have bigger needs.

 

I also seriously don't remember the last time a 10-year deal worked in an organization's favor.

I agree with not signing Pujols. Cripples us in the long run. But Gaby is a 3 WAR player this year because of our IF coach, not because he has a great glove at 1B. Imagine what was advertised as a GG caliber 1B under the teachings of Hill.

 

And we still need a proven closer. An over valued position, until saves are being blown. Just like hitting with RISP is overblown, until you aren't doing it. See June.

 

The team has some great flexability on who can be traded and what guys to play which position. Should be an interesting off season.

People in here talk like this is the franchise all the big names are looking at,

 

odds are we don't even get much so lets try not to be so picky as to actually talking about not wanting Pujols, that addition would be the biggest in the history of the team

odds are we end up getting a decent 3rd pitcher and maybe a 3rd baseman, theres alot of franchises that have better fan bases, that have greater respect, that have better supporting pieces, that will be throwing stacks at Pujols Fielder Wilson etc.

 

odds are we dont get any of them so lets pray we get one

So, the odds are that we don't get any of them, that we don't get much, and that we end up getting a decent 3rd pitcher and maybe a 3rd baseman?

 

What are the odds that 58 = 30 or 40, and 30 X 5 = 100?
