@Anthony: Sorry, just saw this. Take followups to my newest post in the future. Beltran, Cuddyer isn't solid. Melky and Frenchy just had career years. You have 4 number three or four outfielders. I wouldn't want that outfield.

@Grey — what u think of my last comment ?

With that team if i had it i would use Michael Young at 1b since he can play all over and can hit. Montero Would be backup Catcher or DH and i think the outfield of Victorino Beltran & Cuddyer is pretty solid. Melky and Frenchy arent too shabby as backups

@chata: Yeah, saw that about Hanley. So weird, he's usually such a team player.

@Grey: i think i've gone from being one who couldn't care less about the marlins , to someone who hopes they lose every game .

@Steve: They’re regular Laurel and Hardy.

@Anthony: Team looks solid, would prefer a better 1st baseman and you look like on power. Melky and Frenchy kinda bleh. The pitching’s a little upside heavy.

Angels chasing Pujols now too it seems.

@Steve: By that I mean it's so nice those two guys get to stay together.

And Frank-Frank to the Mets, where he will close. Rauch to set up.

How cosy.

@Grey: Maybe it's actually a fantasy trade between the two GMs and they released it to the media by mistake.

By: Grey

@Steve: Be hard to find a much more even trade.

Pagan to Giants for Torres and Ramirez.

Big whoop.

@black_toshiba: He's on the cusp of the top 20, maybe in it once I do my rankings. I like him; no reason to think his K-rate falls.

By: black_toshiba

black_toshiba — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 02:54:17 +0000

@grey
How do you feel about Madison bumgarner for 2012? Is he a top 20? Will his K-rate stay at 8+ in 2012?
Thanks

@chata: @Steve: Yes, taxpayers paid for the stadium cause the Marlins were 'poor' but now are spending everything they have. The federal government is also investigating how 'poor' they were.

@Steve: They're banking on future revenue from ticket sales to pay for these contracts. They're gonna be bankrupt in 3 years.

By: chata

chata — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 01:55:04 +0000

@Steve: i think it means the taxpayers gave them a new stadium , which they turned around and mortgaged to the hilt , so they could spend their new-found money . or something like that .

By: Steve

Steve — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 01:43:21 +0000

@Grey: No - nothing finalised, but lot of Twitter chatter (Twatter?) about it. When you say "stadium money" what do you mean by that? Does MLB give them a whole bunch of money cos they build a new park?

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 01:37:19 +0000

@Steve: It hasn't been finalized yet, has it? Yeah, they're counting on stadium money. Likely will be a fire sale in two years after they win the World Series. @Anthony: 10 team?

Lot of talks between Marlins and MLB officials going on. Pujols contract is the subject reportedly.

How do they have all this money? Something to do with the new stadium?

ok guys .
here’s the forum thread for your outlandish predictions :

go out on a freakin’ limb .
give us a guess where everyone will think that you’re nuts , but

@Jobanian: You and the O's. I'd take Morse and Tabata... @Awesomus Maximus: Nah, haven't recapped them, but I did well this year. Might've had my best year. @royce!: Yup

Yeah that Slowey to the Rockies trade is ridiculous. An extreme fly ball pitcher in Coors? Maybe they’re planning to only start him on the road. I wish the Padres would have grabbed him, because Slowey and Petco would be a perfect fit.

Have you done the recap of your (and Rudy’s) pre-season award picks and how they turned out? I like revisiting those, but feel like I may have missed it.

By: Jobanian

Grey, shopping Adam Jones right now. Team is willing to offer Morse or Quentin + Tabata or Adam Dunn. Enough value? If so, which combo would you pick?
