January 10, 200422 yr Would you be somewhat pissed if we got Vlad, a top three major leaguer, for only a year? I would feel somewhat teased with a player like that for just a year. What do you all think?
January 10, 200422 yr hell no. Id be happy, and then Id be happier when we resign him or someone else next year
January 10, 200422 yr YEH it stinks if we had him for one year then leave ( PUDGE ) but it is better than nothing.
January 10, 200422 yr i would be a happy with Vlad, evenb if it is only for one year- but i think that if we sign him, he's really going to like it here, and he'll want to stay here for a long time. And, whatever happens, he wont leave us like pudge did. That would make me REALLY mad.
January 10, 200422 yr i wouldn't be pissed. 1 year of vlad is better than no vlad, and having him play in miami for a year will give us serious leverage in future contract negotiations.

January 10, 200422 yr I wonder if this same question was asked last year at this time when Pudge signed? :mischief2
January 10, 200422 yr the way i see it is since the stadium issue isnt settled yet, i have no problem having him for one year. we're pretty much going 1 year at a time, hopefully we would be able to resign him if the stadium issue is done
January 10, 200422 yr That one year deal will allow him to familiarize himself with the team and give us a better chance of resigning him the following year.
January 10, 200422 yr You have to consider that stadium talks won't exist next year. There will be stadium plans, stadium ground-breaking ceremonies, etc., instead, which means a lot for our FO. Things are only going up from here. On top of that, Pudge had an average-to-mediocre regular season. Has Guerrero ever had one of those?
January 10, 200422 yr If Guerrero plays mediocre like Pudge did, we'd still make the playoffs. If he has a decent year will be in the Series.
January 10, 200422 yr And we'll be able to offer Vlad arbitration, and odds are the reason this is probably stalling (considering a 1 year $13 mil offer is on the table) is that either he or the Marlins want a 2nd year guaranteed or a performance based option. Odds are if we sign Vlad, there's a way we get him back for a second year, unlike Pudge.
January 10, 200422 yr I agree hey buddy, can you make a post longer than 6 words? am i asking too much from you?
January 10, 200422 yr I agree hey buddy, can you make a post longer than 6 words? am i asking too much from you? letters not words and also what's your problem I just can't think of anything long to say.
January 10, 200422 yr pissed and we got vlad dont belong in the same sentence. what are you talking about man?

What do you all think? Shut up WC... You guys are so difficult to please... *shakes head* Who said the Marlins have the money to offer a multi-year multi-million dollar contract to Vlad, just to please you???
January 10, 200422 yr Vlad wants to play here, he is giving the Marlins a HUGE break by even considering a one year deal. But we have no choice due to the Stadium situation. He is no Pudge, and he will be reasonable at the time of negotiating a multi year contract. If we sign him to a one year, and we get a Stadium deal, Vlad will be a Marlins for years to come.

I can see him here for a while.

What do you all think? i think you're just plain greedy. if we were the Yankees, we could think like this. but we're the Marlins - it was a blessing to get Pudge for one year, and it would be a blessing to have Vlad for one year. we are living on borrowed time right now - we were THIS close to losing a team to contraction a few years ago. To say you don't want Vlad unless you could see him for 5 years in teal is ridiculous. if (still a big "if") he comes in for one year, or even one month, we should all fall at the altar of King Beinfest.
