General FA: Beinfest Says Rotation Set

[Bobbob1313]

That doesn't really explain why writers hate on moves the Marlins make, though.

What moves, specifically, are you referring to?
--------------------

We would have won more if we had an owner willing to spend money despite making none.

Does that make the hypothetical owner better or just richer? He has a bad rep for sure but I can't blame him for not setting his money on fire every year.

I'm working with a lot of assumptions here though. Like those profits going towards stadium, etc

Not saying I agree with that perception. I understand the situation.

But Loria's an easy target for the national media to pick on, and in a lot of ways he has brought it on himself.

[Metes]

I think it was either Maury or Passan who said it, but they said basically every move outside of the Hanley trade has been a disaster

[Bobbob1313]

Oh. Well that's fucking stupid.

[DropkickAlex]

If we sign Beuhrle, Reyes, and Bell...do you guys think that'd be it?

[Mainge]

I imagine so.

[Miamarlin21]

Would that be a happy off-season?

[DropkickAlex]

I'd approve of it. Wish we could of gotten Fielder/Pujols probs but Reyes isnt that bad obviously.

I forget whether it's Beef or Bob2 that always has the payroll of the current team. Could they post it with Bell at 9, Reyes at 18.5 and Buehrle at 14?

[Metes]

It's lou

Definitely not Beef

[Ramp]

yea, lou.

[Bobbob1313]

I HAVE DONE IT BEFORE TOO

[Valid]

I would think that they might be able to get Fielder, too.

[Bobbob1313]

i don't have it now

[MiamiHomer]

I would think that they might be able to get Fielder, too.

I think they'd attempt Cespedes. I have a feeling they are pegging LoMo as the future 1st baseman of this team.

I think they'd attempt Cespedes. I have a feeling they are pegging LoMo as the future 1st baseman of this team.

I really don't like the idea of putting that much money into Cespedes.

[Party]

Yeah, Cespedes was cool at ~$30 million. But $40-50 million is out of our price range.

I believe we're largely done signing big names if we land the three named above. Samson has said payroll is unlikely to go over $100 million. (And I don't know where we would stand with those three, to be honest.)
