November 25, 201510 yr Any idea what we're getting from Seattle? nope and deal isn't done yet, may even fall apart (I kind of hope it does)
November 25, 201510 yr Any idea what we're getting from Seattle? Knowing Loria......probably an STD.....

November 25, 201510 yr "Yes, but its a Top 10 STD" -David Samson Damnit, that made me laugh way too much
November 25, 201510 yr Damnit, that made me laugh way too much Probably because you know a thing or two about STDs.
November 25, 201510 yr Probably because you know a thing or two about STDs. Get with the program man, the running gag on here is that I can't get laid.
November 25, 201510 yr Get with the program man, the running gag on here is that I can't get laid. That's a gag?
November 25, 201510 yr Is Taijuan Walker even really that good? Getting him for Ozuna would be fair I think. That being said, I'd prefer we'd just keep Ozuna.
November 25, 201510 yr Trumbo isn't coming unless Mariners eat a large portion of that project $9 million. We don't have anyone else on our roster to match that up with contract wise. I hope that's a joke. You do know that this isn't the NBA and you don't need to match contracts in trades, right?
November 25, 201510 yr Is Taijuan Walker even really that good? Honestly, watched all his highlights last night and I'm not at all impressed. He throws pretty hard for a starter and his k to walk is alright, but meh. He won't be a savior or anything. I'd prefer one of the Cleveland guys we'd been throwing around.
November 25, 201510 yr I hope that's a joke. You do know that this isn't the NBA and you don't need to match contracts in trades, right? He knows that. I think he's saying the fish don't like to add salary so they'd try and move some back
November 25, 201510 yr He knows that. I think he's saying the fish don't like to add salary so they'd try and move some back Whew.
November 25, 201510 yr Convince me. What makes you say that? look at his stats. he'd be a lock for the Marlins #3 starter with those numbers at this point
November 25, 201510 yr So is it going down or now? Nothing's changed, it can happen or it may not happen. Not set in stone.
November 25, 201510 yr Walker would be a great piece to get, not sure I understand the hate for him Definitely no "hate" from me, just not what I'd expect back, you know? He hurt his hip last year, and wasn't he out the year before with a shoulder injury? Idk man, something about him seems wrong. he's only played a season and a half really, due to injury, and hasn't dominated or even pitched to a #2 level. I don't want a high potential guy trying to figure it out. We have those. I want a proven guy to stabilize the rotation. You know, what the Marlins have been saying they were targeting.
November 25, 201510 yr look at his stats. he'd be a lock for the Marlins #3 starter with those numbers at this point Fine but does that outweigh what Ozuna could possibly bring to the team? We have #3/#4 types. We need a guy to put behind Fernandez. Obviously the guy has great stuff, but he's at that point where he hasn't put it all together yet. We need someone with experience and a good track record. His FIP is around 3.8-4 the last couple of years. Not terrible, but he's not a number two at this point (like you said) and it isn't what we need. Ozuna's our best chip right now, why rush it. Wait for the winter meetings. A team might come up later that got wowed in a deal for one of their outfielders and will then have a pressing need need for a replacement. If that happens, you then have more leverage in negotiations.
November 25, 201510 yr he'd be a lock for the Marlins #3 starter with those numbers at this point Well that doesn't mean much to be honest
