Pudge was the at best an average player last year.....If he didnt have a great division and championship series he wouldnt be talking about $10 million from anyone he hit .297 16 hrs and 85 RBI thats not worth 10 million..... dont get me wrong i enjoyed watching pudge this season, but every Marlin fan new in the begining of the year that Pudge was a 1 year thing...now im looking forward to watching Ramon Castro duplicate his numbers offensivly, as long as hes not in jail....The worst thing for the Marlins is the Media in South FLA is horrible to them, we signed 2 big players for 4 years and its a foot note....we lose pudge and its the top story on every news channel. And besides they lost more with Derek Lee than with Pudge.

i have to disagree. with losing pudge we lose one of the or if not the best behind the plate catcher in baseball. Everyone seems to focus on his offense when really his specialty is defense. No one wants to test his arm and try to steal 2nd. Look what he did to Nick Johnson when he threw him out at 3rd base? For Lee we got a very young and upcoming player. In a few yrs he will be special *Van Wilder voice* write that down. Castro will be interesting I really hope he develops and as for Chad Fox I pray he can nail things down so we don't have to go out and get another closer.
