Selling Time: Marlins Trade Deadline Discussion

[dim]

X3.

Bourn or Melky ftw.

[Bobbob1313]

No thanks to Melky, either. I'm not sold on that.

And I feel like Bourn is going to make a bunch more money than he's worth.

[Erick]

Can we have a conversation about the fact that BJ Upton kinda sucks and how unfortunate it will be if we waste a bunch of money on him?

4+ WAR 4 of the last 5 years.
He sucks in a world where the only thing that matters is batting average.

[emkayseven]

he's a little too Juan Pierre for my liking

I think Melky is gonna earn that statement WAY more than Bourn.

[Bobbob1313]

I think Melky is gonna earn that statement WAY more than Bourn.

Well, yeah. But I thought it was obvious I felt that way by saying I'm not sold on him.

[Erick]

It'll likely be the case with both.

Oh.

I was going by the .724 OPS since the start of the 2009 season.

[Bobbob1313]

There's also the fact that the various defensive systems don't seem to be in agreement on him being a strong defender.

B-R has him at 8 WAR for the last five seasons combined.

[Valid]

Yeah. No thanks to Upton. He doesn't hit for much power and he doesn't get on base, either. He would do nothing to solve our problem of being offensively challenged. He had one good season. He's basically the black Hermida.

And as a negative WAR player defensively in each of the last 3 seasons

So we don't want Upton because he's not good. But we shouldn't sign Cabrera or Bourn because they will be over paid.

Fuck it. Sign Josh Hamilton.

Well, this is dumb too.

This is bad logic.

[Erick]

Unless we acquire a CF'er at the deadline, we're going to need one next year. I really don't want to overpay for Bourn or Melky (who's not even playing CF), so I think Upton is the best available.

Victorino is going to be a free agent, as well. He would be nice.

He's 31 years old, and probably in line for a 7 year mega contract. I'm weary of that.
