I want to see what you have to say!

What the hell do you think we're gonna say?

im still a pessimist when it comes to this subject

 

 

but i would LOVE to be proven wrong

yes, announcement on thursday and the price will be closer to what the Marlins want than Vlad. (Less than $14.5 million)

i want to hear something like that

 

honestly i wouldn't at all surprised if he pulls off a pudge and wants more money but i have a very very good feeling

I been saying the Marlins would get Vlad Guerrero since last year Winter Meeting, if you get him i win myself $20.. Plus season tickets

Damn how many polls like this have we had!

 

YES, he will come to us. I hope he is willing to take less money though. If not, we always have Lopez waiting.

Juanky gets a jersey.

2 people out of 13 say no.

 

Let's just say only 2 out of 13 will be right

Vlad will go where the moolah is.

Vlad will go where the moolah is.

If that was the case, he would be with the Angels or Expos.

Vlad will go where the moolah is.

He would still be with the Expo's if all he wanted was money.

With the O's signing Tejada, it looks nothing but good for us! As Juanky's away message says: "Vlad commeth."

The O's have basically fallen out of the running by overpaying Miggy and Pudge or Lopez if they sign.

 

Vlad here we come!

I must disagree. The expos weren't offering what Vlad thinks he's worth. If Tejada is 12 million, Vlad was most definitely not offered what he was worth by the expos.

 

Its about the money.

The Expos were offering him almost $17 million a year!

yes he was offered wut he was worth soriano fan and who says tejada is gettin 12?? from wut gammons has reported he is gettin between 8-10...vlad was offered 5 yr 75 mill by expos which if ur good at math would know is 15 million..so its not about the money otherwise he would be there...

Pete Gammons said that Pudge could be signed within hours...

I must put on my teal-colored glasses and disagree with you.

 

As reported today on MLB Radio, Vlad is a shy guy, whose main confidante is not his agent but his mother. Various Vlad believers have said all along that Vlad might be feeling ARod-like sentiments about being a star player on a losing team. These guys might seem like they're all about the money, and whether or not they are is really not for us to decide, but deep down inside every major leaguer wants a ring, especially if you're one of the great ones (see: Barry Bonds' anguish in 2002).

 

We are the defending World Champions. We will be contenders in 2004.

 

We will have Vladimir Guerrero with us!

Obviously you cannot spell, because you spelt what "wut" on purpose.

 

Whatever, that's not the point.

 

Vlad was offered a five-year contract worth about $70 million. The contract was heavily back-loaded as well. So you do the math please.

 

That's 14 million a season. Vlad wants more than 14 million. So my prediction of 15 million is fine and you haven't proven anything.

 

According to an AP story from farmer-fran, tejada is making 12 million.

To clear up the rumble on exactly what Tejada is making, I quote ESPN News Services:

 

Tejada receives a $12 million signing bonus, with $4 million payable in 2004 and $2 million each in 2005, 2006, 2010 and 2011.

 

He receives yearly salaries of $3 million in 2004, $9 million in 2005, $10 million in 2006, $12 million in 2007, $13 million in 2008 and $13 million in 2009.

 

The entire package is 6-year, $72 million which does average out to $12 million a year, but as you can see it's not exactly broken down like that.

I would love to see Vlad not in the AL East or the american league, believe me.

 

However, nothing you have said indicates he's going to Florida. He left a contending team (the expos who contended until the last two weeks pretty much), because he didn't like the contract. He is close to his mother, and she lives in montreal, and he has talked about loving montreal. So it is my opinion that Vlad's about the money.

 

Can the Marlins stretch it to acquire a 15 million dollar a year player? I find that unlikely. Can Baltimore do it? Who had the highest payroll in 1998?

AHHHHH i cant stand this kid!!!! anyways listen theres no arguement to tejada its a fact his deal is worth 9 mill! its done ! no maybe ..second have you not read articles on espn or any web sites or what members have posted about the possibiltiy of vlad coming here?? u seem to be in your own world of neglection and seem to be the only person who doesnt see the marlins as the front runners for vlad! hes not all about the money and he will wind up here for 13 or 14 mill nothing more unless the deal is backloaded..stop being a yankee fan boy please and read the facts about vlad b4 u go around trying to make us feel bad

Biggest A-hole= SorianoFan

 

I'm not really a Vlad believer and I am still unsure if we will sign him but what does it take to see that the Marlins are in contention to sign him. Gammons said the only two teams that are in the hunt for him are the Marlins and Orioles.

 

But I think I know whats wrong. Your just mad that the Yankees didnt sign him and that the team that beat you in the World Series might just do it.

 

So f*** off and let us have some fun.
