November 26, 200322 yr I am sure this isn't really news to some, but I just saw on CBS 4 that Mikey has made it clear that he wants to stay a Marlin. We should know by next week if he's staying officially! YAY!
November 26, 200322 yr *Prays* I hope he can come back that means we probally would sign Lowell. Pudge and Lowell are asking for big Bucks. Lowell is more likely to stay than pudge. Please lets keep one of them...
November 26, 200322 yr Really??? Well can you get a link or something on that, but if not thats great, as long as Lowell doesn't leave because of his agent...
November 26, 200322 yr Author Really??? Well can you get a link or something on that, but if not thats great, as long as Lowell doesn't leave because of his agent... I don't know if it's online. I just saw it on the news.
November 27, 200322 yr Hey Juanky, I want to get Vlad also :thumbup . but this would have to have Choi or Conine on the bench. Who would you stick there?
November 27, 200322 yr Jeff. He has more experience, he has the right mindset for it, plus he is better in spot situations like that. I think to be productive Choi needs to play every day. Plus he is a lefty and also has a very nice glove.
November 27, 200322 yr Platoon Choi and Conine. Conine could be better suited to playing in spurts - he is aged, and I would swing him between LF and 1B. Get him at least 300+ABs and ready for playoffs.
November 27, 200322 yr I wish somebody would hurry up and sign vlad, because I'm getting tired of all this Vlad talk. There isn't a snowballs chance in hell he comes here and we'd be better off without him.
November 27, 200322 yr Lowell will certainly stay, he went to Coral Gables High and has a home here. He loves being at home, like Pudge, and will get his contract extention.
November 27, 200322 yr Mikey will enjoy hitting behind Vlad. If we resign Lowell then there is definetly no way we sign Vlad. So there goes that pipedream.

November 27, 200322 yr Mikey will enjoy hitting behind Vlad. If we resign Lowell then there is definetly no way we sign Vlad. So there goes that pipedream. I'll dismiss that statement as being unbased.

So there goes that pipedream. nope. pipedream will be alive until further notice Ramp do you really believe Beinfest will be willing to spend nearly half of his payroll on 2 contracts over the next 5 years. That's just not smart money management. We have 49 Million to spend on players this year because of hampton, and Pudge's contracts. We give Vlad a $15 million contract and Lowell a $7.5 million contract. Let's say both are 4-5 years. that's that leaves $26.5 million dollars to spend on our other 23 players. That means when our young guys start asking for big contracts, they are as good as gone. Is that smart?
November 27, 200322 yr I don't think Vlad goes for 15, I think he goes for less. For a guy that would probably prefer to stay in a smaller market, I think he asks for a little less knowing the stress a smaller market team feels in payroll (something he knows quite a bit about after playing in Montreal.) But, thats just my opinion.
November 27, 200322 yr Im confident we could get the job done and still win the East This year we would but what happens after that?
November 27, 200322 yr who do you think is going to win the east? and if you think we will than who will come in second and give us a run for it?
