I think he will need his own thread. I know there hasn't been anything but pure speculation by us (for the most part) but I have to think he may end up being the Marlins #1 offseason target.

 

Since Pujols and Fielder will probably be priced above our range and with Wilson possibly staying with Texas (or getting way too much money elsewhere).. Buehrle just makes too much sense.. a lefty SP who can give us 200 IP fills a huge need. Considering he will only command a 3 year deal, I'd overpay for him since he fills that need. A 3/30 contract would be ideal but I'd hope the fish would go higher for his services, if need be.

 

Sign him and beg Javy to come back and we have a pretty formidable rotation for next season. The thing working against us is his midwest connection as the Cubs, Sox and Cards are thought to be his favorites. What think you?

Javy is 50-50 on whether he will return or not, according to Rosenthal.

I'm starting to prefer signing Edwin Jackson over Buehrle, but I won't complain either way.

If we could get Javy back, that'd be huge for us. If we add Javy and then go out and get another FA pitcher, the rotation looks very good.

I might be more interested in Buehrle than Wilson right now. Buehrle has 11 straight seasons of 200 IP and has been pretty solid. He might also come at a more reasonable price compared to Wilson.

It should be noted that Buehrle is 24-6 in his career vs the NL

:o that's a full season's worth of decisions.

Imagine if he could do that for us.

I'm on Team Buehrle. He's been super consistent for a while now, and consistently solid/good.

I'm terrified of players who have one or two good seasons then get to the FA market, like Edwin Jackson.

i want javy back along with buehrle and then trade ricky and volstad to free up another 11.5 million for next year and maybe we can get that bat (fielder) we need.

 

then trade gaby and someone else for a starter.

If Javy decides to not retire (big if there), I think our chances of signing him are still slim just because of his history with Ozzie. If he looks at things geographically, then maybe Tampa or Atlanta sign him?? 2 teams fairly close to his home and are contenders.

Whats the history between the two?

I heard something about that on Intentional Talk the other day, Javy and Ozzie didn't see eye to eye and was glad to not be pitching for him anymore.

So the Rotasion would be

 

JJ

Javy

Edwin Jackson

Buehrle

Nolasco

 

not in that order but a good rotasion

The Ozzie-Javy thing is way overblown

So the Rotasion would be

 

JJ

Javy

Edwin Jackson

Buehrle

Nolasco

 

not in that order but a good rotasion

 

um... anibal? Fish aren't adding 3 to the rotation unless the 3rd is Zambrano on the very cheap with Nolasco leaving.

I just heard that the braves are interested in tradeing Jurrjens to free up money to inprove there offense do we have anything to trade to get jurrjens and is he worth tradein for

So the Rotasion would be

 

JJ

Javy

Edwin Jackson

Buehrle

Nolasco

 

not in that order but a good rotasion

 

 

enough with the edwin jackson!! lol he consistently has a whip of over 1.50.

The Ozzie-Javy thing is way overblown

 

 

No it's not. As I said before any of this was ever reported this offseason, Ozzie doesn't like Javy Vazquez. He thinks he's a p***y.

yeah i'm not interested in Edwin Jackson coming here...throws hard but that's about it..very overrated in my opinion. he's being listed near the top of the heap because the FA pitching market for starters is kinda thin on quality this year

Edwin Jackson has been good for 3 consecutive years now. It's not as if he sucks.

 

He's not the same guy who came into the league as a top prospect and couldn't throw strikes for the Devil Rays.

I'd honestly rather have Edwin Jackson than Beurhle.

The Ozzie-Javy thing is way overblown

 

 

No it's not. As I said before any of this was ever reported this offseason, Ozzie doesn't like Javy Vazquez. He thinks he's a p***y.

From what I remember of the situation, the national media made it a much bigger deal than it really was. IIRC, all ozzie did was call him out, something he's not afraid to do to other players.

 

If that's enough to affect Javy's future with the fish, well then he's just a huge ball of vagina. IMO it won't.. money does all the talking.

Buehrle should be our top priority. People are going to overpay for Wilson and Jackson because the market is thin, and IMO they are question marks. Buehrle proves year in and year out that he is a top of the line starter, and the guy is not as old as you'd think... Nothing scares me about him. If we are going to commit that kind of money to the rotation, and we can't afford mistakes, this is the guy.

I predict Vazquez signs with the Nationals on a one-year deal. He'll stay in the NL East because of his success there, but he won't sign with the Marlins because of Ozzie Guillen.
