He winds up being pretty good in MVP Baseball 2005, that has to count for something doesn't it?

That reminds me of that infamous nkhera post about Quincy Carter....

Re: Marlins looking to trade for Joey Gathright

woah, florida looking for players instead of looking to get rid of players

Now comes the rebulding. The Marlins are going to have to sign (or trade for) some players to fill the many holes on their roster. Gathright in CF is a start, they will have to decide if Miguel Cabrera is going to play LF or 3B which means acquiring someone to play one of those positions. They need to sign a middle Infielder, Robert Andino will play either 2B or SS and Hanley Ramirez is not ready to play in the Majors. They will probably have to sign at least one starter and they have nothing that resembles a bullpen.

So far the only players we know that will be with the Marlins are:

Starters
C Josh Willingham
1B Mike Jacobs
2B/SS Robert Andino
3B/LF Miguel Cabrera
RF Jeremy Hermida

Bench
C Matt Treanor
IF Alfredo Amezaga
IF Lenny Harris
OF Chris Aguila

Rotation
Dontrelle Willis
Jason Vargas
Sergio Mitre
Brian Moehler?

Bullpen
Travis Bowyer
Ron Villone

and Villone may still be traded.

Wow what a solid core they have heh. Anyways I have been thinking you guys need some old over the hill guys, why don't you trade Cabrera to Cleveland for Casey Blake and Matt Miller, well we will even throw in Josh Bard, what do you say??

Re: Marlins looking to trade for Joey Gathright

Exactly! Seeing the Sox finally win a World Series this year makes me understand how what the Marlins are doing is ok. I'd rather have my team win a World Series every 5 years and suck all the in between years than go 50...or 87 years without a title.

My thoughts exactly. Which is why yes it kinda sucks that the Marlins are doing this, but I'll take 2 WS in 10 yrs. Even if it means sucking for a few. As for the 2003 team we didn't buy that title. We won it with smart ball players, and good pitching. 97 we did buy that one though. You only have a 3-5 yr window thanks to FA anyway. Our window was closing faster, because of a potential move thanks to a new ballpark not being built.
