Well they for sure can't get Oswalt as he said he will not play there.

Thats why they have been looking at Nolasco. Oswalt has a No trade to Chicago or Cincy. Both of them have been looking at Ricky

They got Dan Hudson,the Cuban Kid,Flowers,Kyle Bellamy,Jon Gilmore,Nevin Griffith,Tracye Thompson

Its not like they don't have pieces

[emkayseven]

no way they'd ship flowers. he should be up right now

[Swifty]

U no, it??????

[tjfla]

no way they'd ship flowers. he should be up right now

I agree just saying its not like the system has nothing in it,they have pieces to put together a nice offer
--------------------

Wait.

Last offseason the Marlins and Rockies were discussing Uggla for Clint Barmes and a prospect? Clint fucking Barmes?

Jesus. Talk about having to be saved from yourself.

Maybe the prospect was Chacin,Fowler,or Gonzalez??? I highly doubt it but never know

Report: Cantu, Ross on the Trading Block

Ken Rosenthal at FoxSports is reporting (see his story here), that based on information gathered from major league sources, that the Marlins are dangling Jorge Cantu and Cody Ross but are holding off on Dan Uggla and Ricky Nolasco -- at least for the moment.

There are no surprises in this group. Cantu is eligible for free agency after the season while Ross (and Uggla) will be entering their third year of arbitration eligiblity. If it's the Marlins' intention to go with an outfield in 2011 of Mike Stanton, Cameron Maybin and Logan Morrison (don't be surprised if he's called up soon) and Chris Coghlan moving back to the infield, then Ross figures to get traded. He wouldn't be hard to deal. He plays all three outfield positions competently and, perhaps most importantly, won't cost an arm and a leg for the team that gets him. I spoke to a major league scout last week about Ross, Cantu and Uggla. Here's what he had to say about Ross:

"Cody Ross is a guy that every person says, 'Boy, I'd love to him as my fourth outfielder.' He's got that fourth outfielder label and I guarantee you, people are looking him, either as a fourth outfielder off the bench or in a platoon with a lefty. I think you'd get second-tier prospects, not front-line guys, for Ross. But he's marketable."

The scout is more taken with Cantu:

"Cantu, I'd be inclined to put him at first base if I were another club and just let him hit. Out of the three of them (Ross, Uggla), the one I'd like to have is Cantu because now that they're peeing in that little cup, it's hard to find guys that can hit consistently and with power. He's got value in the American League, too. I think he's a prime DH. You don't have to worry about hiding him defensively like you do with Uggla. You can put him at first -- not a good third, but he can play it."

Here's the scout's viewpoint on Uggla:

"Uggla, he's going to get paid because of those offensive numbers, but the defense is so bad. But with Uggla, I'd think you'd get a player in return that's closer to the top tier. Here's the thing: you're one injury away from all three of those guys going up in value. That's why teams why so long to make deals. With injuries (to other teams), those guys go up exponentially in value. LIke the Padres. If (David) Eckstein goes down, Uggla's value goes up for the Padres."

God damn some scouts are dumb.

You take Cantu, we'll keep Uggla and he'll "pee in that little cup."

[wanks1212]

My favorite part is how the scout seems to imply that David Eckstein has more value to the Padres than Dan Uggla would have.
--------------------

Well, it's not like it said we were close to doing it. Discussing could mean

Rockies: "Hey guys, how about Clint Barmes and a prospect for Dan Uggla?"
Marlins: "Are you serious right now?"
Rockies: "Yeah, it's a good deal."
Marlins: "No, seriously, what's your real offer."

Discussion.

And that's true. But discussion could also have meant:

Marlins: "Hey guys, how about Clint Barmes and a a prospect for Dan Uggla?"
Rockies: "Um, hang on."
Marlins: "Wonderful."
Rockies: "Okay, we'll give you Barmes for Uggla, but we're going to need you to take back a player who's making more than the minimum, because Uggla for Barmes nets us about a $4 million increase in salary, and we can't take on much of an increase in payroll right now."
Marlins: "Goodbye."

Discussion.

I hope that's how it happened.

They just called a load of bison meat here in Richmond due to ecoli.

[Fishfan79]

ok. i do like bison

bj's has it for sale think was like 4 1/2 a lb good meat


imo sell anyone in arby not named jj and hanley. I would love to keep uggla just dont see us spending on him in the future

[Jay]

1. This isn't salary based moves.
2. The team needs to improve next season.
3. Fielding a team of JJ, Hanley and 23 rookies, has beens, and never was players does not make a team better.

[Bucklin12]

#Marlins Marlins moves very likely by July 31. Misconception is they HAVE to make moves. They don't. Won't give Cantu, Uggla or Cody away.
