General FA: Beinfest Says Rotation Set

[Beef]

Also, we just kind of happened to be playing the Mets one season when they weren't good enough to make the playoffs so that when they lost to us they were no longer eligible to make the playoffs

[Metes]

Yeah but we stuffed it in Glavine's face

Metes, the Mets eliminated the Marlins last year.

They got their revenge

They stuffed it in Anibal's face

I hope we get Reyes just to get them back for last year

5. Marlins. The Marlins reeled in their first fish, getting closer Heath Bell on a $27 million, three-year deal, but they are trying for more. They have offers out to Jose Reyes, Pujols and Buehrle, and seem to have a good feeling about Reyes, who received an offer from them that's said to be $75-to-90 million, depending upon the source. They do look like the favorite for him at the moment with the market surprisingly slow for the dynamic two-way player. The Marlins have considered bumping the offer to Reyes a bit, then putting a deadline on it in their hopes to cut off any late comers like the Tigers or Brewers. They are hoping to lure either Buehrle or Wilson, which would allow them to trade a starter, possibly Ricky Nolasco. The meeting with Pujols appears to be window dressing.

How would signing a starter allow us to trade a starter

Not sure that has anything to do with what the article is trying to say though

I was trying to add to Chewie's outrage.

We still had to beat them. There was also a brawl and we made Tommy Tampon cry, I'm sure.

I read that twice to see if you were really just tweeting a promotional advertisement for MLB.com

He's done an amazing job keeping the thread titles and Twitter account updated.

[Bobbob1313]

Yeah, but Beef hates those things.

Not like it's a surprise, but they didn't really say anything we didn't already know.

Don't know where to put this but I got to thinking, when Bell officially signs, that will fill out the 40-man roster. if the Marlins sign anyone before the non-tender deadline (Dec 12,) they'll have to take someone off the roster. I am doing a post for the Marlins website I write for, but I thought I'd stir up conversation on here. My guess is that first to go is Arquimedes Caminero. He only made one appearance last year and really doesn't have much to offer other than his heater. However, if the Marlins sign multiple guys, who else could be taken off? I'm guessing Evan Reed, Omar Poveda and maybe Sean West could be in danger if need be. Thoughts?
