Justin Upton for Morrison, Nolasco?

[Jay]

no like, he's not in the organization

Wrong catcher woah...I feel dumb now.....Totally meant the Paulino

[Ramp]

He is not in the organization anymore either (or atleast he won't be offered arbitration if he is up for it)

Man. It works. It works. God damnit, it works and it's not going to happen :'(

Man, Buck only makes 4.5 this year. There's room for Pavano instead of Vazquez at 8 mil and still have 3.5 left over to get to $55.

I hate myself for not giving up on this.

When is Buck's signing bonus payable? Now? Life of deal? Still think it's $6 and that money will count to payroll

"We feel good about Coghlan out there in center field," Beinfest said.

Trades represent change in Marlins' approach

Mibs first step of negotiation 101: Tell the other teams that you are freaking out over your current situation and will do anything your adversary wants to rectify it.

[Big Z]

I think I heard something of Coghlan telling Beinfest that he wanted to play CF, I just don't know if he has enough speed or a good jump to get to those deep fly balls.

[DColts]

I don't think Lo Mo and Nolasco are enough for a player like Upton.

[nny]

It's a shame that no one even mentions Ozzie Martinez. I'd be much more comfortable with him at 2B and Infante at 3B than starting Dominguez opening day.

And Mancrush Murphy

Trading away Morgansen would be kinda suck.

[nny]

We should all be very happy that nothing came from that Manny deal.

Maybe the Stanton thing

but if they took the hermida/tucker deal that was originally agreed upon before dodgers came in.....

(too bad for p-rates laroche is hermida 2.0 )

I'm not worried about his pure speed as much as I am his ability to judge fly balls and how healthy that knee is.

That said, I still doubt Coghlan will ever even see playing time out there, so hopefully this is moot.

Reading the ball from CF is easiest of all OF positions. You get a clear view of the ball, LF and RF the ball is always obstructed by the lights, the only issue is that there is a lot of ground to cover at Sun Life.
