Even if we don't, it won't matter. If we get any studs in the deal, we'll just wind up trading them five years down the line. It's a theme here that I thought would end when we got the new stadium, but apparently, it won't.Originally posted by MiamiHomer View PostComment

this is pretty infuriating, but will be less so if the pitchers/players they acquire are given some kind of long term deals or there is some indication they also won't be flipped when the stadium comes through.
of course, that won't happen, but it would make it kinda sorta betterComment

That won't make it any less frustrating, as I would then wonder why they didn't just extend Johnson.Originally posted by wanks1212 View PostComment

if we move him like the idea of KC and some of their prospects and talent. even though really hate teh idea of moving himComment

Because he wouldn't accept a three year deal. I'm going under the assumption that whoever they acquired would accept the hypothetical 3 year deal they offered JJ. It would at least show they're willing to spend the money, so long as the years are to their liking. Which is a bit more comforting, even though their rumored 3/22 proposal is fairly ridiculous for someone like JJ.Originally posted by m26555 View PostComment

Yeah, but I would much rather them give JJ that fourth year. It's absolutely ridiculous.Comment

At what point does Hanley get pissed off? That's my primary concern now. When do they start building around him?Comment

Everyone would.Originally posted by m26555 View Post
That's a really good point. You have to think that he won't be too happy if JJ, Uggla, and a few other vets are shipped off for more prospects and he's essentially told "wait until 2012, we'll be good then."At what point does Hanley get pissed off?

nice, we have a twitter war on our hands
http://twitter.com/JoeFrisaro/status/6127997783Marlins There is going to be plenty of speculation about Josh Johnson being trade bait. From what I'm hearing, don't buy into it.Tom Koehler(4-0)Originally posted by Matt Wilson

Joe may suck at throwing what-ifs out there, but he is basically a quasi-extension of the organization. For something like this, I am going to put more weight in what he says over Keith Law and Co at ESPN.Comment

Oh I have no doubt JJ is on the team for 2010.
HOWEVER
It is still inexcusable we won't guarantee the 4th year. You won't ever sign a free agent pitcher worth a damn without guaranteeing the 4th year (and isn't that what the new stadium is meant to allow us to do) and you'll never consistently win asking pitchers in years 1-5 to carry you and then recycle. You want to talk about a true house of cards, this is it.
You cannot be a team that has (1) a desire and (2) the resources to finalize their "top" offseason priority and then walk away over something so mind-numbingly simple. Go back a month or two, Lou and I were debating how/if to add years 5 and potentially 6, and the real life Marlins aren't budging from 3. IT'S INEXCUSABLE!
I mean, listen, this is the guy, were he ever made available either by trade of FA that the FO would be wringing their hands about being unable to afford and how can we compete in a world where Ichiro is worht that and on and on. Here he is just asking for a 4 year deal and we're telling him to fuck off. You know what? Fuck us, fuck this organization.Comment
