  • Why would he never see that money again?

    Comment


    • Because he sucks.
      --------------------
      Even if he does see it again, it's pretty stupid to turn down guaranteed money. When you do that, you probably believe you're going to get more money later on and he probably won't. Because he sucks.

      • I bet there are plenty of guys who would rather have less security to live in south Florida than be secure that they're stuck in Cleveland or Kansas City

        • The explanation would make more sense if he hadn't gone to Cleveland. Without a doubt.

                ...for starters, Dan Uggla wasn't a free agent at the time...
                No he was rule 5, which is not all that different in many ways.

                He was dissed by the Diamondbacks organization, and left out for the Rule 5 draft. He was then motivated more by wanting to show people who had dissed his ability than anything else.

                He said so in several pre-game interviews and on a couple of ESPN appearances I saw him on his rookie year when he was doing so well.

                Stewart got a 1 yr offer from us and instead of coming here,he took a 1 year deal from his former club

                I dont know of u guys realize this but after the BS of all the FA/trades,the only way FA are gonna come here is if we overpay for them and agents are making sure we know it
                Seems some here just don't want to believe that. The evidence is there but they put up blinders.

                We will sign someone I guess, but they probably will be worse than Stewart & Reynolds. If that doesn't tell you something a house falling on you won't.

                Just to play with the Cleveland Indians...a team that sucks.

                Makes sense. He and his agent must be tremendous idiots.
                --------------------
                And Ian Stewart picked the Cubs...they suck too.
                yet they chose to play with them over this organization. That has to tell you something.

                Yeah but we're talking about baseball players not street pimps.

                        Ya I bet guys would love to move there families down here and settle down only to be told they been dealt and gotta then move again. Ask Mark Buerhle how that is

                        • You're doing the Internet thing where somebody says something simple and you say OF COURSE EVERYONE WOULD JUST LOOOOOOOVE something that the first person didn't say

                            But we're talking about one-year deals, not four-year deals. It's not the same thing, you know...

                            "Evidence" from a couple of anonymous sources and tjfla's source, whoever that is.

                            Extremely credible.

                            I'm going to go on bleacher report soon and tell the world that the Marlins front office is wonderful. The evidence will be what I write...

                              It would make more sense to me if these guys weren't 1-yr deals.

                              There's no such thing as a secure 1-yr deal.

                              • They just want the security of being in a shitty place and not knowing where they'll be next year. The proof is in Ian Stewart's pudding
