sign Vlad Guerrero and the possible 5, 6, 7, 8 year deal worth anywhere from $12-15mil per

 

or trade for this fellow

 

since 1999 he hasnt played less than 153 games a year, he is 29, also plays the OF

 

averages about 100 runs, 185 hits, 42 doubles, 3 triples, 30hr, 109rbi, 55bb, 75k, 13sb

.313/.380/.550/930

 

he has 1 year left on his contract in which he makes $14mil in 04(but his former team would be willing to pay some of his contract for a better prospect).....

 

so who would you rather have?

 

Note: if you do know who I am talking about, please do NOT say anything... i want to hear everyone's opinon before I reveal who this is

guerrero though i no who your talking about methinks.

I think that we should try to sign Guerrero so we can defend our World Series championship better since we lost Pudge. Guerrero would replace Pudge in that aspect and if after year 2 or 3 of the contract, the Marlins have holes they need to fill they can always trade him and get 3 top prospects for him.

I'll stick with Vlad, thanks.

I would rather have the better player in Vlad for six years than this guy for two.

 

If he were willing to renegotiate his contract, that's a different story...

Im just saying, a guy like Vlad could cripple this team if he got hurt or if we cant get a stadium thats all...

 

and yes, this new guy would be MORE THAN WILLING to restructure his contract or atleast add some years to it

Well whoever this guy is, he sounds consistent and puts up good numbers, but you should know better than to put anything that doesn't involve the arrival of Vlad.

yea i know maggs

I'm pretty sure on who the guy is, and he is one of the players I like and he is talented, but I think the future of this franchise is still more secure with one Impaler on board.

All i want for Christmas is VLAD

reveal the name you shall!!!

the name is Magglio Ordonez, formally of the Chicago White Sox.....

 

he is (reportedly) on the table

yea i know maggs

Foreshadowing, eh?

oheeoh...magglio, you didn't know who this guy was?? tsk, tsk..

oheeoh...magglio, you didn't know who this guy was?? tsk, tsk..

actually he did.... he pmed me about 8 min ago

oh, ok.... :whistle If you ask me though, let's go for ordonez, if it's feasible. Signing Vlad for 6, 7, 8 years is way too risky considerin our team's economic situation!

This is irrelevent, if the white sox are trading maggs, it will not be to the marlins. So keep the Vlad ideas rolling.
