July 30, 20169 yr Except one blew his elbow out. And? I would put better odds on CC returning at a more productive rate than Guerrero ever achieves in MLB.
July 30, 20169 yr Author Seems pretty clear to me that the convo at the end involved SD saying they won't pay the cash unless CC is included This is exactly how I see it.
July 30, 20169 yr Author And by the way, here's an actual prediction - Capps' career will be known more for potential and injuries than for success. His elbow will never be right. Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app This could very well be true but as good as Capps has been I'd take that risk over saving some money.
July 30, 20169 yr Guerrero is nothing but an intriguing arm, but there is some potential. The point of this deal was to help now. Naylor, Castillo and Capps can't help now. Paddack couldn't help now (and could be hurt). It's not easy projection prospects outside the top 100 or guys coming off TJ with a history of arm issues. It is easy to say we added 2/5 of our rotation in a playoff push. Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app
July 30, 20169 yr It is easy to say we added 2/5 of our rotation in a playoff push. You yourself said Rea has long term potential, which implies his value doesn't come right at the start. He does in fact have potential, but at this time it doesn't look like he'd help much this season. I just don't believe this trade puts the fish over the top and if you send that haul, it needs to at least give you a legit chance at a WS title.
July 30, 20169 yr Those in love with Guerrero probably loved Jorge Julio too. That's low even for you! I was maybe only be I g 15-20% serious. You know me better than that. We always agree @Admin.

I just don't believe this trade puts the fish over the top and if you send that haul, it needs to at least give you a legit chance at a WS title. Just making the point that this wasn't only a rental like the Urbina deal, which involved Adrian Gonzalez who by himself was a better package than what we just traded. Rea could also help us this year. I'm not commenting on this deal anymore. I respect all of your opinions on the deal and fully get it. In my opinion, I like that we went for it. I think we overpaid as I have said from the beginning but that was the price in this market. I don't like the cash part either, but do not believe that was why we included Capps in the deal, by a long shot. Go Marlins. Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app
July 30, 20169 yr Just thinking out loud here but this trade makes me wonder if Capps was a non-tender candidate going into next season. Ramos and Phelps are expensive, $2 mil for Rodney, Wittgren/Barraclough/Ellington are cheap options, plus whatever LHP they get. Idk what Capps would get in his 2nd arb year, but they might not have wanted to pay anything for an injury prone guy like that w all those other options. Not saying I'd want that to happen, but it's a possible scenario. In that sense, Capps for $ and Guerrero reminds of Cishek for $ and Barraclough. Try and salvage something for a guy you're probably not bringing back. JMO
July 30, 20169 yr Author Just a thought, everyone start praying that Chen's injury really isn't serious. If he surprises and comes back in a few weeks that could be a nice boost.
July 30, 20169 yr Just a thought, everyone start praying that Chen's injury really isn't serious. If he surprises and comes back in a few weeks that could be a nice boost. Agreed especially if the injury was part of the reason for his sub-par work.
July 30, 20169 yr @knglover please tell me what makes you think Guerrero will ever be like CC. I don't, I was kidding and stating an obvious difference between the two. I bombed in my attempt at humor. Please ban anyone of your choosing except me, of course.
July 30, 20169 yr I don't, I was kidding and stating an obvious difference between the two. I bombed in my attempt at humor. Please ban anyone of your choosing except me, of course. Damn this is like my birthday
July 30, 20169 yr Do we have any plan to upgrade our bench player ? They are trying to make more deals.
July 30, 20169 yr Author Please ban anyone of your choosing except me, of course. Shit, this is most likely gonna be me just because.
July 30, 20169 yr Shit, this is most likely gonna be me just because. If he gave @Michael that gift, I'm sure it'd be you.
July 30, 20169 yr They are trying to make more deals. For SP? Because this trade barely improved the SP, so...
July 30, 20169 yr i eagerly await Mike Hill to trade DD + Urena to bring back Bonifacio and more importantly, cash.
July 30, 20169 yr Source: Marlins trade Ichiro, Yelich, Realmuto, and Ramos for a 20% off coupon to Bed Bath and Beyond.
