July 27, 201412 yr I am from a civilized country(Equatorial Guinea) and I still eat with my elbows on the table. That sounds uncomfortable
July 27, 201412 yr No one tells Nescobar A Lop Lop where to put his elbows! I'd call myself Spike too if that was my name
July 28, 201412 yr My english has come a long way thanks to my teacher. His name is Earl. Do you mean 'My Name is Earl'? Like the tv series?
July 28, 201412 yr I have this seriously sick feeling that we are going to overpay the Diamondbacks for a few something's.
July 28, 201412 yr I have this seriously sick feeling that we are going to overpay the Diamondbacks for a few something's. Where'd that hunch come from? Something for Aaron Hill?
July 28, 201412 yr Where'd that hunch come from? Something for Aaron Hill? Aaron Hill better not come without a lot of salary relief....
July 28, 201412 yr How much would it cost to acquire Zobrist? I really want Zobrist. Is Tampa still selling?
July 28, 201412 yr If we are getting someone, I'd rather get a starter. I don't know how much longer can Turner and Hand stay in the rotation
July 28, 201412 yr Admin knows who we're going to acquire. He's just going to hold out on all of us. jerk

July 28, 201412 yr If we are getting someone, I'd rather get a starter. I don't know how much longer can Turner and Hand stay in the rotation Welcome to the site. There are rumors that we're trying to add a SP.
July 28, 201412 yr Is Tampa still selling? Tampa seems to be like us, in that they probably should be selling but they've played well enough as of late that they're probably cautious buyers, as in one to two minor additions without blowing out the bank.
July 28, 201412 yr Over the last eight days, Steve Cishek of the Miami Marlins has recorded six saves. That's certainly drawn a lot of added attention to the reliever, who seems to be the most likely member of the Marlins to be dealt in the next few days -- assuming the team makes any moves at all. ESPN Insider Paul Swydan suggests that the Marlins would be best served by dealing away Cishek now, and worrying about the future of their bullpen at some point down the line. "The Marlins have a good bullpen, and that won't change if Cishek is dealt. Even if it does, the bullpen is supposed to be the final focus of attention in any rebuilding plan anyway, and good relief pitchers can be found via free agency every year," Swydan writes. "In the past two years, cheap effective relievers found in free agency have included Koji Uehara, Joakim Soria, Pat Neshek, Burke Badenhop and Jason Grilli. With a discerning eye, bullpen help is not hard to find. And so, if teams nibble on Cishek and Mike Dunn, the Marlins need to make them available and try to get back some infielders. They're not likely to find any franchise cornerstones, but given that their starting first baseman, second baseman and shortstop have combined for 0.2 WAR, any potentially solid players could provide a boost." However, as Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald recently pointed out, the Marlins desperately want to lock up Giancarlo Stanton to a long-term contract, and "after watching the Marlins trade teammates simply to unload salary during his time in the organization, (Stanton) has made it known that he wants to see the team start showing franchise stability and a commitment to winning. As in now. Trading closer Steve Cishek... might send the wrong message." http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/mlb/rumors/post?id=17605
July 28, 201412 yr One way to fix that would be to trade Cishek for a major leaguer. The Marlins don't seem interested in trading Cishek anyway.
July 28, 201412 yr One way to fix that would be to trade Cishek for a major leaguer. The Marlins don't seem interested in trading Cishek anyway. Most contending teams looking to add a closer aren't looking to subtract anything.
July 28, 201412 yr Did Mike Piazza come out of retirement and sign with Arizona? Seeing Piazza play again would be awesome. I'm sure he can still outhit half the Mets lineup.... And ours as well. Arizona seems to match up with us- bullpen arms available, and a surplus of middle infielders. Hill, prado, Gregorias, Pennington and others.
July 28, 201412 yr Again the BS of Stanton going bananas with a Cishek trade. Here's how I see it. . . Lets take the extreme perfect world scenario of Stanton absolutely wanting to stay here and desperately hoping that Loria extends him a major contract. Even in that unlikely case, if we could trade Cishek for a major league ready second baseman, Stanton should welcome that. Trading Cishek would not be a fire sale, it would not upset Stanton. If Stanton wasn't tweeting negativity when his buddy Nolasco was traded , he won't get upset if we traded Cishek for a reasonable return. Also, inversely, it's not like keeping Cishek is the one thing that's gonna make Stanton go "Oh. They kept Cishek? Well hell to the yes, now I wanna stay here!"
July 28, 201412 yr I tell people that I like, aka not you. aww come on PM me the names brooo!! Gimmie the deets
