July 25, 201214 yr Hanley is said to be thrilled by the deal. Well f*** you you underachieving prick. Whered you read that? Jon Heyman twitter.
July 25, 201214 yr What's the point? We signed Hanely long term a couple of years ago and he's gone now. Same will probably happen to Stanton. I try not to put all my heart and soul into this team anymore. Get burnt way to often.

July 25, 201214 yr Yea his value has dropped no queston at all but seems like you could have squeezed a little more for something. Totally underwhelming deal but what you gonna do. They obviously just wanted to dump Hanley as bad as most of us. This FO is very frustrating atg times. Would love to have some new guys around to run the team. Oh well. If the next deal does involve trading out a SP I hope it's Ricky and not JJ.
July 25, 201214 yr Part of getting the new stadium was that the Marlins were no longer going to be the farm team for the rest of the major leagues. Thankfully they can't move the team or I would be waiting on that now.

July 25, 201214 yr Peter Hammond reported that marlins said they would trade Sanchez or Johnson. But of course I wouldn't put anything pas the marlins. Let's make sure all remaining home games are empty again.
July 25, 201214 yr I think what's even more embarrassing, is the fact that not only is this happening all in one year, but we get to relive the experience on DVD or Bluray via The Franchise. :|
July 25, 201214 yr People are complaining like we just traded the batting champion Hanley Ramirez...that was a couple of years ago. He has shown no signs that hes reverting to that. His problem is that he thinks hes a power hitter.
July 25, 201214 yr The Dodgers will be visiting in a couple weeks, too. So long Hanley. One of the best to ever lace em up for the Marlins.
July 25, 201214 yr It went like this...The Marlins could have fetched a better return had they paid 8-12M per year for the next two years. However, instead of an unproven prospect, Beinfest chose to take a lesser return with the hopes of using the expendable cash on a proven player in FA. Would you rather have a few more average prospects or the ability to sign Josh Hamiltion? I know 12M isnt getting Hamilton here, but it makes the FO's decision 12M easier. That 12M can also bring in more quality pitching to replace Zombrano and Nolaso, who better be a goner by next year. Keep: Reyes, Boni, Stanton, Ruggiano Trade: Buck, Lee, Morrison keep the elite speed and keep the elite power. Those are the two things you cant find on every block. Marlins should get rid of the the replacable/average guys and bring in better, proven players, while giving the kids a chance to play the remainder of the season. Looks like the fish are losing a lot, and we are, but this is a realistic situation and it very well might happen. The team will be much better going in to next year if we can make the right trades and sign the right FA. If they have the money, why not spend it on proven guys instead of sitting here hoping the Hanley Ramirez' and Logan Morrison's of the world will turn it around. FO did the right thing IMO. DO NOT TRADE JOSH JOHNSON!!!!!
July 25, 201214 yr However, out of his last ten starts, I count just about 6 quality starts for eovaldi. I knew who he was and saw him pitch a little. Does have some good stuff.
July 25, 201214 yr Man... we could have got J. Upton.... PS. I might put my 2009 ASG Hanley Cleats (Teal/Chrome) and the other pair on sale now..... :-(

Then watch the team say attendance was lower then expected so they need a market correction so payroll will only be 70 million.
July 25, 201214 yr Also, I was checking out the LAD boards and many of them are not thrilled about the trade. They are worried about the contract, his attitude, and becoming a cancer in the clubhouse Not to mention, many are saying that they are upset with giving up Eobaldi, but also glad it was him and not Zach Lee. They were saying that they believed he was their future #2 behind Kershaw and will be one of the best young pitchers in the game. Bias hometown fans, so you gotta take it with a grain of salt, but still...its not like LAD nation thinks they stole one from us

I was going to make a "maybe" category for LoMo, but I decided that I think they should trade him. He can be used as the centerpiece in a deal to bring in a SP. If he stays I won't be unhappy either, but he has frustrated the hell out of me. I want to see this potential everyone speaks of
