1. surprised they didn't go for Pavano

granted i really wished they did not, being that I am huge marlins fan, but I was preparing myself for him to be lost. we still may not keep him, but our chances are better with one less team in the hunt.

3. he signed with the yankees today :-(

I am as sorry as you about this... :(

[pres2032]

4. damn!

can you tell i haven't followed the news really at all today?


that sucks, kinda glad we still got Leider, but he's no pavano

[redsoxliberal]

6. yeah... but you guys do have AJ Burnett in a much larger role

next year... hopefully he'll take over for Pavano...

[pres2032]

10. true

hopefully he should be fully recovered and up to form by April

[redsoxliberal]

11. yes... most scouts say he is the best marlins pitcher

that is, when healthy.

You guys have a sick rotation though...

Beckett
Burnett
Willis
Lieber
(WHY THE HELL'D YOU TRADE PENNY???)

[pres2032]

13. who knows?!

Penny was awsome, he and Pavano were our only near garuanteed wins each time they started. I'm glad we got Lo Duca and Mota and am even gladder that Conine was not included in the deal, but still! :grr:
however, NONE of this would've come up had Pudge's agent not DEMANDED a pay raise. If we kept him, no Penny trade and the marlins may be celebrating their THIRD world series title!

2. Sweet irony with David -- tho a Yank fan here, I appreciate the irony!

5. Didn't Wells once say that he wanted to blow up Fenway?

Sounds like the perfect signing! :thumbsup:

[redsoxliberal]

7. yes... I wanted to puke when he signed.

[redsoxliberal]

8. I'm hearing Renteria's physical will be tuesday, then

it's OFFICIAL.

At this point, the money, everything else is a DONE DEAL.

9. Bastards!!!!

Sweep us AND steal our shortstop? This means war! :P

[redsoxliberal]

12. heheheheh... he made the last out!

he was already playin for us! :P

[Cadence]

14. Woooo hoooo!

Great news!! :bounce:


Except about Wells. That's a little tougher to take.

What's the status on Kapler, Bellhorn and Pokey?
Lowe and Cabrera are gone for sure right?
