December 12, 200322 yr If we sign Vlad Guerrero, maybe since the Dodgers want to get rid of Paul LoDuca they might do this... Marlins get : Paul LoDuca, and cash Dodgers get : Ramon Castro, 2 minor leaguers, and Juan Encarnacion Solid Lineup: Pierre - CF Castillo - 2B Cabrera - LF Guerrero - RF Lowell - 3B LoDuca - C Conine - 1B Gonzalez - SS
December 12, 200322 yr It would all depend on who these 2 minor leaguers were. I would most definately not give 2 high level or med-high level prospects away. on top of Encarnacion and Castro
December 12, 200322 yr I like that lineup. But what about this. Pierre Castillo LoDuca Vlad Cabs Lowell Conine Gonzalez
December 12, 200322 yr i think its a pretty solid lineup without guerrero or lo duca...doesn't anyone else see this?
December 12, 200322 yr Author I like that lineup. But what about this. Pierre Castillo LoDuca Vlad Cabs Lowell Conine Gonzalez I dont think LoDuca has what it takes to be a 3rd batter, he is good for 5th ro 6th.
December 12, 200322 yr I like the idea of: JP Castillo Vlad Tremendous speed and hitting ( all over .300) in the top of our lineup. Talk about a nightmare Top 3 for an opposing pitcher
December 12, 200322 yr Why not he has clutch power doesn't strike out a 100 times. Beside's pierre castillo loduca. That's a hell of a lineup.
December 12, 200322 yr I like that lineup. But what about this. Pierre Castillo LoDuca Vlad Cabs Lowell Conine Gonzalez WTF?
December 12, 200322 yr Why wouldn't Vlad be hitting third? You'd have three guys who never strike out hitting 1-2-3. How is this a problem?
December 12, 200322 yr [WTF? Why. Maybe we can get vlad and loduca. 1) Who would want Lo Duca over Castro? 2) You call that a lineup!?
December 12, 200322 yr Thank you like i said before here is my lineup Pierre Castillo Guerrero Lowell Cabs Conine/Choi Castro/Redmond or AGon Same as above Pitcher spot
December 12, 200322 yr Thank you like i said before here is my lineup Pierre Castillo Guerrero Lowell Cabs Conine/Choi Castro/Redmond or AGon Same as above Pitcher spot That's good.
December 12, 200322 yr Thank you like i said before here is my lineup Pierre Castillo Guerrero Lowell Cabs Conine/Choi Castro/Redmond or AGon Same as above Pitcher spot That's good. That makes two people who like my lineup. Lons and you. If we get Lo Duca for that, we would be ripping those guys off so much for Enc, and our jailbird Castro. But I still like Javy Lopez better. But I digress and so I say get Vlad and do this.
December 12, 200322 yr That trade would be good. We have all of our Outfield set. We need a catcher that has been in the MLB at least 2+ Years and has proven himself already. Good Trade. i would do it.

December 12, 200322 yr Vlad seems a better fit hitting cleanup. I want to see more of a line drive doubles hitter behind Castillo and Piere to best use their speed.
December 12, 200322 yr If the Marlins had a deal like that offered, I think they should take it to - depending on who the Marlins were giving up from the farm and how much money the Dodgers were throwing in, say, $4M? Problem is, you still have to pay for Lo Duca's contract (or apply the cash to his deal). I dont even think it would be necessary to give up minor leaguers along with Castro and Enc because Castro and Enc are more talented than Lo Duca. That said, Lo Duca would be solid, and the savings...wait a sec. This deal makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. The Marlins are going to pay Castro 300K. Enc is gone. To take on Lo Duca is to get a catcher with less power, and whose numbers have been in decline since 2001. They would also be spending more money to do so just in the hopes of getting more money to land Vlad. So you spend more to spend less??!! Sounds kind of wrong to me...changed my mind. I pass. And sign Vlad outright.
December 12, 200322 yr If we sign Vlad Guerrero, maybe since the Dodgers want to get rid of Paul LoDuca they might do this... Marlins get : Paul LoDuca, and cash Dodgers get : Ramon Castro, 2 minor leaguers, and Juan Encarnacion Why would the Dodgers want to trade for Juan Encarnacion? Everybody know we're going to non-tender Encarnacion in 2 weeks. Why would the Dodgers trade for Encarnacion, then go to arbitration with him and pay him $4-5 million? They can just wait until he's a free agent and pay him half that. Also, somebody like Lo Duca would be most likely when we don't sign Vlad. We won't have the money to pay LoDuca $4 million if we have to pay Vlad too.
December 12, 200322 yr To make you guys really angry about Lo Duca, ESPN insider says we could have had him for Derrek Lee and we turned the trade down. :banghead But that was before Pudge, so I guess we had to do what we did...
