July 15, 201610 yr Fair, but if Paddack wouldn't get us a starter then who would in your opinion? Garrett Braxton. You guys think I'm kidding. That's the guy.
July 15, 201610 yr sar·casm ˈsärˌkazəm/ noun noun: sarcasm; plural noun: sarcasms the use of irony to mock or convey contempt. Your sarcasm was out toward "mocking" those who think we can get a starter. Unless you're mocking someone who said to give up 5 garbage prospects for Archer/Gray which I havent seen. Good try
July 16, 201610 yr Garrett Braxton. You guys think I'm kidding. That's the guy. Unless you're talking about in the offseason then give it up. He cannot be traded.
July 16, 201610 yr DONT WORRY GUYS WE CAN AFFORD RICH HILL ITS AN SP DOWN MARKET LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!GOOD THING WE GAVE UP OUR TOP 75 PROSPECT FOR A 39 YEAR OLD RELIEVER My theory on the Rodney acquisition is the Marlins knew they weren't going to land an impact starter so they went for the impact reliever.
July 16, 201610 yr My theory on the Rodney acquisition is the Marlins knew they weren't going to land an impact starter so they went for the impact reliever. This is false. The Marlins got Rodney with every intention of also getting a starter. The reliever acquisition does not mean they gave up on getting a starter.
July 16, 201610 yr I want Disco back. I say we take on Votto's contract as long as Disco is part of the return. Then we trade Bour for another back end starter.
July 16, 201610 yr This is false. The Marlins got Rodney with every intention of also getting a starter. The reliever acquisition does not mean they gave up on getting a starter. I guess we will find out in the next two weeks
July 16, 201610 yr I want Disco back. I say we take on Votto's contract as long as Disco is part of the return. Then we trade Bour for another back end starter. Disco would be perfect
July 16, 201610 yr I want Disco back. I say we take on Votto's contract as long as Disco is part of the return. Then we trade Bour for another back end starter. Votto is one of the best players in baseball (yeah, fight me about it) so I doubt simply taking his contract is enough to acquire him. He also has eight years left on it.
July 16, 201610 yr Votto is one of the best players in baseball (yeah, fight me about it) so I doubt simply taking his contract is enough to acquire him. He also has eight years left on it. I'm still on board with this despite his recent struggles
July 16, 201610 yr Votto is one of the best players in baseball (yeah, fight me about it) so I doubt simply taking his contract is enough to acquire him. He also has eight years left on it. I think they would gladly take that money off of their books during their rebuild process. Also; he's good but I'm not quite so sure about being one of the best in baseball. Didn't realize he signed such a long extension. Just saying, they are going to have to to think outside of the box in order to add a quality pitcher. Not many options and not enough equity in our farm system to compete for arms with others teams.

Not many options and not enough equity in our farm system to compete for arms with others teams. 7.4 fWAR last season, .459 on base percentage, and almost as many walks as strikeouts throughout his career. Down year this season, sure, but he's 32, so I doubt it's a decline, just a down year. Not saying you're wrong that the Reds wouldn't mind taking his contract off their books, but it would take a lot more than you think to pick him up, if simply because other teams would also be willing to pay him and give up better prospects than Josh "Can You Believe I Was a First Round Pick?" Naylor.
July 16, 201610 yr How about take back another Reds and former Marlins DeSclafani,pitching good after come back from injury,traded him away for terrible Latos was one of the most suck trades in Marlins history.
July 16, 201610 yr Why would the Reds trade a good, controllable, young starter? That's what they need to trade FOR, and they have plenty for sale (Bruce, e.g.). Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app
July 16, 201610 yr I'm pretty sure we are not even allowed to trade Garrett until after the World Series. Not even as a player to be named later. Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app Can't trade him until after next years draft. Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app
July 16, 201610 yr That's good, it was stupid when Trea Turner was playing for his old affiliate when really he was traded already
July 16, 201610 yr Why would the Reds trade a good, controllable, young starter? That's what they need to trade FOR, and they have plenty for sale (Bruce, e.g.). Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app To dump Votto 's contract.
July 16, 201610 yr Well Polly can project people from Low-A so him projecting after 3 mlb starts is no big deal.
July 16, 201610 yr Well Polly can project people from Low-A so him projecting after 3 mlb starts is no big deal. Leave pollyvonwog alone. Polly is the man!
July 16, 201610 yr Marlins willing to part with hech for SP accrd to rosenthal. Not sure if posted or not.
July 16, 201610 yr By the way, one other thought on the Rodney deal that I have not seen raised. Fish traded for Rodney on June 30. The deadline is August 1. That means a team trading for a starting pitcher at the deadline is looking to get about 11 starts out of that player. Rodney will have been a Marlin for over 80 games once the season ends and could easily pitch in 40 of those games. That's pretty good bang for your buck. (I'm new here to Marlins Grindr, but why do I feel like that last sentence will be taken out of context?) Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app
July 16, 201610 yr Marlins willing to part with hech for SP accrd to rosenthal. Not sure if posted or not. Yep just saw Rosenthal report that. He said theyre going after one of Archer, Moore, or Ordorizzi. Love that they're exploring Hech deals.
