end of august I believe from what I saw posted before but super 2 is iffy for playing time

Andy Gonzalez DFA'd to make room for Johnson on the 40-man.

i love it

NJ was the bat I wanted all along, he is the OBP this line up and Hanley needs

And just not a fan of Thompson. Though I'm also no fan of Tucker so yeah.
--------------------

Nny, how many wins is this worth (Johnson in, Bonifacio out)
--------------------
Or, how many runs?

I just got home so I'm goign to read through the forums first then make a thread about it

[Jewbility]

Got a lefty bat, now we can sit Hermida and call up Maybin whenever Fredi is ready.

[nny]

I mean I seriously think this puts us in WC territory

we caught the braves imo

The giants didn't improve really

i can't think of the other teams atm
--------------------
FSN just said washington is also sending a MILB pitcher

any word on who?

[Chewford]

I approve. We get a capable bat and get to replace Bonifacio, and we didn't give up anything that mattered. Very nice trading deadline that played out just as I wanted it to for the Marlins.

Johnson was the last national who played for the expos

Nick Johnson isn't what was needed we needed a closer, and a power hitter who could hit behind Hanley, and scare some teams.

Nick Johnson is an ok player but he will do nothing for us in the long run to put us over the top, and we traded a top pitching prospect.

I think we need to stop trading with the Nationals! They keep having us for lunch in these trades.

Aaron Thompson isn't close to a top pitching prospect

(no matter how much I like him)

[Florida Marlins]

I'd still rather have him here then Johnson, and if I had to part with him I would have got much more then Johnson.

Johnson is a light weight hitter who walks a lot... Id rather have had a nice packaged deal for a good 3rd baseman who could help us both on OBP, HR, and Defense...

So far Nick Johnson has done ZERO for us...

[nny]

yeah, NJ has not gotten on base at all as a Marlin

You're sig with the violin smilie sums up the reaction to your posts nicely

[Flum]

Aaron Thompson's little brother?

Are you not watching the games?

And Aaron Thompson is not a good prospect.

(Can't believe I am saying this stuff)
