Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Brennan, Daniel, McFadden, Tebow to New York. McFadden!

And you're implication that he is making 50 million in profits doesn't take into account that the team is actually paying a lease to play in their terrible stadium, and doesn't get any consessions or parking money. It doesn't take into account minor league contracts, coaching staff, or mnagement. Essentially, from 03-5, the Marlins operated at a great loss. They are trying to make up the money lost plus gain a bankroll to use in a potential stadium

He hasn't really been a force since he was injured in like what week 6? He's limping off the field eveyr other play.

Glenn Dorsey was really the SEC Def. POTY?

Please do. The Marlins still have 2 .900 OPS guys to anchor the offense in Hanley and Jeremy Hermida, plus another 2 or 3 guys who can OPS .800 or so in Willingham, Uggla, and Jacobs. Maybin is the wild card. PECOTA has him down for a .250/.330/.430 line, which is a great improvement over what we had in CF last year. Depending on who we get to fill 3rd (either Rule V, or another trade), the offense might not lose all that much. And the pitching last year was atrocious, and I can't see it doing much worse. Do I really have to worry about Miller doing worse than a 5.17 ERA, which is what Wi

I'm willing to bet the Marlins don't lose 100 games next year.

Yes, not overpaying for overrated veterans and getting value for the players you can't afford to sign (as opposed to, say, the Mariners 5 or 6 years ago, when they lost A-Rod and got 2 second round draft picks for him, woohoo!). Most teams have about 5 players from their 2003 rosters with them right now. Oh no! I have to be realistic and understand that the team isn't in the financial situation to spend the money to keep these players, so at least the GM makes a concerted effort to get better instead of appeasing the fanbase and letting them walk once they are free agents and say "we

How bad are the Heat? Shaq can't jump, Wade can't shoot.

Apparently 'Trelle's value was so low the Marlins basically had to force whichever team wanted Miguel to take Dontrelle. It's actually quite a haul because I don't think Cabrera gets them Maybin and Miller, and there's no way Trelle gets them either. So, from that standpoint, it's a win. Don't forget Dave Dombrowski was the team's GM for a long time as well.

Thats why I did not understand your hesistance. Without Dontrelle, I think the Tigers come out ahead on this trade. Miguel is one of the top 3 or 4 hitters in all of baseball.

I feel very weird about this deal, right now. I had accepted that they were gone, but it's still sort of shocking. But, Maybin and Miller are going to be studs, so it could be worse.

We are allowing him to tighten his grip on his people with the embargo.

That's the spirit. "DON'T STOP BELIEVIN!!!"

When the biggest economic power in the region refuses to trade with you then you are being held down by that nation. What I love is the hypocrisy wherein the United States refuses to trade with Cuba because of it's dictatorial regime, and communism and what not, but has it's biggest trading partner be China, which is all of what Cuba is and more. The only difference is we can afford not to trade with Cuba.

"evil empire"

I nicknamed my roommate's red strat "Rosalita".

I love sports conspiracy theorists.

Just so we're clear, you are implying that Gooddell fixed this game, right? El. Oh. El.

One of the stupidest things I've ever heard a player do.

Not least of all for the fact that it essentially allows Castro the opportunity to remain in power and say "Oh, look! I am your provider. If not for me, you would starve thanks to the evil US."

The announcers are ballwashing him.

*swoon* But yeah, there's a reason they called him "El Monstruo" here. He's a beast. In the combine, he ran the fastest 40 yard time of any LB, and had the second most bench reps.

FIU's first player drafted in the NFL draft, Antwaan "El Monstruo" Barnes picks up his first NFL sack, throwing Brady down with one arm with a guy on him. That kid is gonna be special. My roommate and I got all excited about it. The announcer even said "3rd round pick from Florida International". Really cool, imo.

Indeed. That one came up on shuffle yesterday and I forgot just how good it is.

I do not like Ron Paul. I like his supporters even less, for the most part.
