Our 1st trade of the season and its all about Gary Denbo. U think he went to Mike Hill to ask for permission? HAHAHA Hell NO-Denbo/Jeter told him to do its doneLast edited by tjfla; 11-21-2017, 12:09 PM.

and no, you didnt say no one knows if Mike Hill has any power. it is quite apparent from the posts the guy quoted you on a few pages back that you specifically said he has no power.
i really could care less, but youre clearly changing what you previously said.

U are correct in my opinion he has NO power. Does he-who the hell knows?? But evidence from yesterday's trade points to NO
So just because they kept him means he has power?? It couldn't mean they wanted someone who was under contract and knew about the system from top to bottom to stick around instead of hiring everyone new. Makes sense
Why was Stan Meek kept around then? They kept him and then demoted him to Gary Denbo's personal assistantLast edited by tjfla; 11-21-2017, 12:18 PM.

Maitan of the Braves was released from his contract because of the scandal. Would love to see us go out and get him. Would instantly become our top prospect.

I can't wait until the Marlins new ownership starts their tenure off by trading the reigning MVP to a team with one of the worst farm systems in baseball, and not even getting their top prospect back in the deal. And it will be even more fun if they throw in Dee Gordon as well limiting the overall return value they'd get in trading both guys separately.

If they can figure out a way to get a guy like Ian Happ for a starter like Cueto and we can in turn get Happ, that deal would make a whole lot more sense. Not saying that is what's planned, just give them a chance before shitting on deals that are simply being partially reported.Last edited by fish16; 11-21-2017, 02:22 PM.

If we are able to deal Stanton, Ziegler, Prado, Dee, Ozuna, and Straily, our payroll after next year ends will be extremely low. Only guys making money would be Yelich, Chen, and any dead money we have to pay off. On top of rebuilding and getting great prospects, that should be our second goal. Make the start of 2019 the deadline period and have a goal of getting off as many contracts as you possible can during that time.

I just hope they don't add Dee Gordon to the Stanton trade. Why not deal them separately?

SF-Stanton
Mia-Ramos,2 prospects from SF,prospects/young ML guys from another team
Other team-Cueto?Span?Something from Miami?Cash?
Our goal is to lose as much cash as they can

I wouldnt mind Cueto being part of the deal with them paying a lot of his money. He will definitely have a bounceback year and he is a pure #1 pitcher in this league. Even if we are still a bad team, it couldnt hurt to have him at the top of the rotation for the next few years.

I do wish we could get this Stanton deal, whatever it is, done with already so we could see what we get and assess how to start moving the other pieces.

I hope I'm wrong, but even with added prospects from a Cueto deal, I don't see a package that returns even close to what they should get for Stanton, something the Cardinals offers.
