****Official 2012 MIAMI MARLINS Thread****

Good move!

 

great signing

 

Still enough room for CJ if we want to go to $100 million.

Or Prince if we're willing to go a bit above.

Wonder if Cespedes comes back into play now

 

John Lackey, and AJ Burnett got 16 psst....

while I think the it is high money, he is very this..reliable guy....

 

Our rotation looks like this

1. JJ
2. Buehrle
3. Sanchez
4. Nolasco
5. ?

 

LeBlanc for now I suppose, and the usual suspects (Volstead, etc.). Still room for CJ if $100 mill payroll is for real

 

Buerhle is a great pickup. Still not done with the starting rotation or the bullpen, but damn.

 

Meh.

Rregardless, can't be upset with a Bell, Reyes, Buerhle off season.

But I admit, I was getting pretty wrapped up in the Pujols thing. Can't help but be a bit dissapointed

 

Samson on Le Batard asked to confirm Buerhle. Long pause, says he can’t confirm.

Le Batard: “Are you out on Pujols?”
Samson: *long pause* “I didn’t know we were in on Pujols.”
Le Batard: “David, let’s not do this this way…"

 

Buerhle for four years is way better than Wilson for six. Close to $15 mil a year but that isn't terrible either. Buerhle has been solid and reliable throughout his career and no reason to think he won't be the same in SoFla.

I assume this means that Wilson is going to L.A. and Fielder to Seattle...?

 

Samson flat-out denies interest in Fielder.

 

Samson says Hanley will play 3B.

 

Sampson just said he hasn't even run into Scott Boras at the hotel. So, who knows?

Depends what else they want and how high they actually want the payroll to be. Was it $100 million only for Pujols or are they willing to do that regardless?

 

Hey, Mets. Prepare your anus.

 

Samson: “The SEC isn’t looking into the Marlins, they’re looking into the issuance of bonds by Miami-Dade County.”

Le Batard: “Is there anything here problematic to the Miami Marlins?”

Samson: “I think it’s obvious the answer to that is no.”

 

Samson: Until Pujols signs with a team, everybody is involved.

"To the extent the deal was ever alive, it isn't dead"

 

Olney reporting that STL is still only offering 9 yrs.

Marlins not dead yet

 

Oh for crying out… make up your mind already, Al.

 

Pujols's agent said we are. He's not coming to Florida.

Agent Dan Lozano has called the #Marlins and told them they are out on Pujols, says source

@mlbtraderumors: RT @jcrasnick: Source says Pujols continues to negotiate with clubs other than #Cardinals. But Albert will not be going to Florida.

 

@mlbtraderumors: RT @MikeDiGiovanna: Source confirms reports #Marlins offer to CJ Wilson still on table, despite Buehrle agreement. #Angels, #Rangers are other two finalists.

What was our offer?

 

Well what about Miami!?

 

wtf is that all about!?

 

Still not used to that. Miami not Florida, lol.

 

I have a gut feeling we don’t land CJ Wilson.

As for Pujols, good, I’m glad the Marlins told him they were out rather than vice-versa.

 

My dream scenario would be to sign C.j, trade Gaby, and move Logan to first.

 

A platoon of Coghlan/Peterson/FA signing.

 

And Mike Cameron lol

Need to go after Kenny Powers now. Get him paid, *****!

 

No thank you.

 

LoMo:

 

3 world series easily if we add Powers. Really would have to make us the favorite to win it all this year.

 

If people are excited now, just wait until Matt Kalil gets drafted!
