CapeFish Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 If they win the NL East with that roster, even with some improvements means that the NL East became a one team division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marlins02 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 think of it this way... saving the money on Maddux could be used for a Pettite or Millwood (did any of them get arbitration?), Lopez's money for a roderiguez once he gets down from that cloud and who knows? vlad in RF? damn the pessimist in me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeFish Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 marlins02, the braves let them go because 2004 payroll must be lower than 2003. AOLTimeWarner now TimeWarner has made it so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnylons Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Yeah, not so fast with the Brave eulogy yet (even though I wont be eulogizing them when they do drop dead). They do have money freed up and there are a lot of options out there. There is talk of them landing Worrell, which could go a long way with Smoltz in the pen. Vlad could go to ATL, but I doubt he would. You never know though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJB34 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 MARLINS SHOULD REALLY BOOST UP THE BULLPEN. STARTING WITH ARTHUR RHODES - A GREAT LEFTY OUT OF THE BULLPEN. ALSO, RE - SIGN LOOPER AND PENNY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapeFish Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 the braves have no money freed up, they had to cut payroll to make up for budget cuts from coprorate in New York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest marlins02 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 if you think about it they might still get cheaper, they have Maddux's $15 mill off the table (no pitcher is going to command that much) "that other guy, i aint saying his name" aint getting the $10 mill he wants, he might not even get the $7 we were offering so they can still do somethings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishFanPR Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 wohwoh.....hold it! Although undoubtedly weaker, the piece of s*** Braves still have chipper, andruw, russ ortiz, hampton, furcal, giles and one of the best closers in baseball : Smoltz....I pray every night that the franchise f***ing dissapears, but they're still a long way from doing so!
