You gotta figure with Hanley's contract (and persona) off the books, Giancarlo is going to be extended sometime soon, yes?

I said a few weeks ago that Hanley was making the 'Stanton or Hanley' argument down the road much much easier. I will go out and say I will not support this team under this current ownership if Stanton is not extended at some point. Trading Hanley makes sense from all angles. Not extending Stanton would not.

I fully expected you to be part of an angry mob regarding last night's trade. I have misjudged you, sir.
I can't go so far as saying I won't support them, because I like baseball too much and don't like any of the other 29 teams, but man it'd be disappointing.

Hanley has been in my dog house since April. He's the AJ Burnett of Marlins position players. He could have taken us to new heights, severely underperformed when it counted, and now we're left to wonder what went wrong and will he return to form with another team. But as in the AJ Burnett situation, I was not sad to see him go.
And you're probably right. I buy into that civic pride crap and the Marlins are Miami's baseball team and I love Miami.

Who said discount? Signing a contract now, he guarantees himself that money. Waiting until 2017, he could break something, or start hitting .190, and lose the money. Agents aren't dumb and most players aren't either. The guaranteed money is the best bet.Originally posted by Madman81Most of the people in the world being dumb is not a requirement for you to be among their ranks.

I would absolutely not let this team get a free agent year, let alone years, if I'm Stanton or his agent.
