2009 Marlins Trade Deadline Discussion

[Ralph]

They aren't Arthur Rhodes is bright enough to ask for a 2 year deal and Cincy is stupid enough to offer him it because they thought they were a playoff team

Can't really call them stupid when the are going to recieve something in return for him and likely not eat any salary.

[Metes]

I was being sarcasmastic

Ya because they got lucky. If Rhodes was stinking it up the only way to get rid of him would be to throw in cash

If Rhodes is 0-4 6.45ERA u think teams are gonna be calling for him?

[Beef]

They signed Rhodes with the idea that he would pitch well probably, that's what they had in mind when they chose to pay him monies

Of course they did I was just saying what if. They thought they had a playoff team and now they are trying to trade everything

When I reset everything on my firefox I lost saved passwords so I don't have my brother's insider login but someone who does check this out.

STARK: The Marlins' Halladay run
ESPN.com's Jayson Stark notes that, as usual, at trade deadline time the Marlins are always full of surprises, and in the case of this...

[Fish and Chips]

MH beat me to it

[Ralph]

If Doc Halladay really did wonders fo AJ, Imagine pairing him up witj JJ, Ricky and Volstad for a year and a half.

[MiamiHomer]

I hate ESPN insider and their lies...

"Or at least an attempted run. Stark says the Marlins made their pitch for the Toronto ace, but the conversation ended when Toronto asked for a package led by outfielder Cameron Maybin and teenage masher Michael Stanton."

--------------------
Cantu would have to move to third and unless we are including CC in the deal that sends Boner to the bench.

[Bobbob1313]

Someone send up the tjflasignal!

[MiamiHomer]

I finally got my brother's insider account and was looking at the Marlins rumors and this is to add to what tj told us about the reds.

The Marlins also were poking around Wednesday on possible deals for outfield bats, according to clubs that spoke with them. One name they kicked around: Cincinnati's Jonny Gomes, ESPN.com's Jayson Stark reports.

[Metes]

Gomes eh? So much for speed and defense.

[Ralph]

I got a fip/boni kinda love for gomes. I want him here.

[MiamiHomer]

Bell, A-Gon and Pavano and we could call it a day.

[FishFanInPA]

Could we poach Bannister from KC?
