Little Caesar, Dominoes or papa johns folks?

Not me, Admin. I R Broke.

I wonder who ate the last slice of pizza.

We are in on Pujols, Buerhle and Wilson according to Kurkijin

 

BEAT YOU woot

 

I'm half awake at this point, lol

Little Caesar, Dominoes or papa johns folks?

 

 

GET THEM ALL! DISCOUNTED!

 

I have coupons.

Passing time by watching old Terra Nova on DVR.

Did you guys see that they still listed 3b as a need for us on bbtn

im still going strong. something better happen.

Little Caesar, Dominoes or papa johns folks?

 

 

 

Anything but Little Caesars.

Wow haven't been to this site in years, but had to check out what yall were saying..

 

 

Guys I know he is a great player, but long-term this is a bad move for the Marlins. Do we really want to be paying this guy $20/year when he's 38-41 years old? Obviously, the DH isn't an option and I just don't see how he can hold up that long. Yes, he would be a big name for the new stadium along with Bell and Reyes, but the no-trade clause makes this a bad deal for the Fish.

 

Marlins would be a lot smarter spending the money elsewhere on multiple players.

 

We dont know what Loria's ceiling is. As long as he is willing to pay for the parts we need to win, who cares how much they make. Shoot, pay them all $20 million, I dont care. We can speculate that this is costing us pieces elsewhere, but in my opinion, it is riskier to sign a pitcher long term than a position player. Right now, the big name pitchers want longer deals than we're willing to give them. All that being said, we still may get them too...nobody knows the salary ceiling.

 

little off the subject i am worried that since marlins are Not giving no trade clause that come 2 3 years from now they dismantle the team:( i just hope they give pujols a no trade clause just to know for sure that they wont trade him.

I wouldnt be concerned about them dismantling the team anytime soon. The ntc is more of a sense of security for the Marlins. You dont plan to use it, but just in case something were to happen and they cant afford him, they could get rid of him without accruing 20-25 million in debt every year.

I guess, to put it in perspective, think about a direct tv contract. Theyre expensive as hell, but you think you can afford it. You're hours get cut at work, so now the contract becomes a burden on your wallet. Rather than cancelling it(trading Pujols) you are force to pay the cancellation fee (cutting him) or you can stick it out for the remainder of the contract, and just deal with the expense.

Wait what? The purpose of a no-trade clause in a contract is to protect the player, and have a promise by management not to trade him. It hurts the Marlins because they would be forced to pay the guy $20 mil/year even at the age of 38-41

 

Needless to say even if there wasn't a no-trade clause, it's doubtful even a big-market team would want a 38 yr old Pujols without the Marlins having to take a significant cut of the contract

god i wish we could all virtually chip in for wings and have them delivered to all of our houses in reality. f*** yeah, the future

Kurkijan said that some on the Marlins think that, as great as Pujols is, they need pitching.

 

 

DING DING DING DING DING DING

Lolol, I didn't even knew I did that.

By the way, LOL @ all the people who reported over the last couple of week that the Marlins were not serious on Pujols.

Not too long ago, we were on page 20...

All that suspense and lack of studying for nothing. Well, as of right now

 

 

 

 

 

That's not Zooey Deschanel or Emma Stone!

BRING BACK THEM OR I WALK!

im running out of beer here, i need a decision

If this goes up to the weekend, buy 1 get 1 free whoopers from BK and Pujols watchin'.

Not too long ago, we were on page 20...

 

 

You accepted the challenge after all.

the reason the dont want to give him a ntc

 

Got my words a little mixed up. Meant they dont plan to trade.

i am exhausted but i want to know already!

As much as it sucks to say but if the team doesn't get an answer sometime tonight or early tomorrow, moveon.org

 

Take that money and give it to pitching.

Let's get to 100 pages now!

Marlins should trade for Tulo so we can have the top 3 SS in the game.

True that, Gizmo.
