Shamrock Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Just a ploy by the Vlad camp to drive up the urgency and price??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 NOT TRUE!!!! He is not going to sign with the Indians....So Juanky you can breath again :lol according to tribe fans who are interested about this stuff, this report is a hoax which began when the guy who runs that blog got his password stolen by a hacker.

FreshFish Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I don't think Vlad will last past the winter meetings in free agency . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobucks Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I think the Benitez talks could have some effect on Vlad. I recently read an article which stated that Vlad was looking for a substantial Latin community and a Team with fellow dominicans on it. Currently Luis is the only Dominican on our team. Benitez would be the second. All of a sudden Benitez is looking a little better. As far as fitting Vlad in our budget I think it could be done as follows: JP2.3/LC4.5/VG10/ML6.5/MC0.3/JC3.0/AG3.5/RC0.4 = 30.5 JB2.5/BP3.0/DW0.3/CP3.0/AB2.5 = 11.3 AB2.5/CF1.2 3.7 Total 45.5 Which leaves 4.5 for bench, #5 starter and minimal bullpen help. Vlads deal 2004 10.0/2005 11.0/2006 12.0/2007 13.0/2008 14.0 5 year $60 million without deferred money.

SlapHands69 Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Ed are the Marlins truly serious about making a hard run at Vlad or does it only remain only as a possibility? Could they make him a proposal during the Winter meetings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Vlad not going to the low budget, rebuilding Indians with tons of young outfielders??? What a shocker. You people worry too easily, don't believe everything you hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyggyMarlin Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 If you go to the MLB.com home page and click on the Cream of The Free Agent Crop story... http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/news/mlb...lb_nd&fext=.jsp you'll see Marlins are now listed as pursuing Lopez and Guerrero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savafan Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 There is no official word yet on whether this story is true or not. I don't understand why the mods deleted the original thread concerning this, as there are about 100 threads concerning "will the Marlins sign Pudge" or "Castro's career numbers" etc. Why delete an entire thread without a reason? I love this message board, but I do question some of the decisions in the way that it is being managed around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 If it turns out true, it'll be brought back. The replies to the topic were not constructive and were getting to be spam. It was not your fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savafan Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Thanks for the heads up Admin. I've e-mailed Joe Ptak (the guy who runs CIR) about this, but haven't heard back from him yet. I also have him on my AIM buddy list, and I haven't seen him online yet, but I do know that he was online when the story was posted on CIR.

Wild Card Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Vlads deal 2004 10.0/2005 11.0/2006 12.0/2007 13.0/2008 14.0 5 year $60 million without deferred money. That doesn't sound bad, but Montreal made a 5-year $70 Million offer, and this may be asking for too much of a hometown discount. I was thinking along the lines of 6-years $81 Million, that comes to this: '04- 11.0/'05- 12.0/'06- 13.0/'07- 14.0/'08- 15.0/'09- 16.0 I don't know if that would cost us too much over the first 2/3 years, but if it did, you could always take maybe $2 Million off the first two years and spread it toward the back two or three years, when we have a stadium.
