Pedro Not A Fit For Marlins

Hey, I hear the Red Sox have given contracts to a bunch of gimps recently. Maybe he should go crawling back and ask them for a job.

I don't really like this headline too much. Just because the Marlins won't pay for him (even though they could) doesn't mean he's not a good fit. But I guess that's the Marlins' fault, not the writers'. For as great as they are at scouting and player development, I wish they'd open their wallets just once in a while to push them over the top.

Pedro should come to Detroit

What about having Ben Sheets in Detroit and then moving a starter to closer?
Or maybe Ollie Perez (don't know cost)?

It sound ridiculus, I know, but I'm a desperate tigers fan who wants a closer!

who are the clowns bad mouthing boston? pedro pooped on this city and the ownership when he left with his nonsense about respect b/c they wouldnt give him a 4 year deal.. then what did he do? spent half of the contract with the mets on the DL. yeah, boston is a bunch of dopes.

anyway, enrique rojas is reporting via the bottomline that pedro and the marlins are in talks...

Pedro and Manny need to team up and go to the same team.

I wish Manny would go to the Phillies and have a bad year, so whenever he struck out they would boo the hell out of him (no offence Philly fans).
Pedro should forever be put in the Hall of Shame for throwing down an old man like Zimmerman down. He could join Roberto Alomar for spitting in the umps face.
Although Manny is a great player, he needs to get his act together. He does not want to listen to anybody and wants to rule the team. He is a disgrace to baseball. I wish he would clean up his act up b/c fans love him for the great first ballot HOF ballplayer he is.But thats just Manny being Manny.

I can't help but laugh at the Pedro haters. The guy is a guaranteed first ballot HOFer. One of the best pitchers in baseball history.

Hall of Shame for throwing down an old man? Give me a break. That old man charged him looking for a fight, Pedro barely touched him.

Ego? Are you kidding me?

"The guy is a guaranteed first ballot HOFer. One of the best pitchers in baseball history."

Absolutely, should he be paid for that now? His history?

"Ego? Are you kidding me?"

What Pedro have you seen the past 10 years?

"the marlins are interest..at a certian price, and not going to go over it. if pedro really want to be a marlins, he take a 1ow guarantee contract, 1 year, and a couple of millions in incentives"

Well, obviously. The thing is, even their "certain prices" can be ridiculously low. This is an offseason for bargains, and they still won't do anything. I'm not saying they should've been in the mix for CC or Teixeira; I'm saying they'd be reluctant to sign guys who would make more than $2-3 million. They even traded Kevin Gregg for that reason (even though I think they won that trade) and non-tendered Joe Nelson because... well, I honestly have no idea why.

nyyank,
there cheap we all know, but theyre smart, and i have full confident in beinfest's decision in letting joey go, people forget that he had a career year, chancing of repeat it is small. also his adjusted era+ is 213, one of the highest in single-season history, meaning that he really benefit from dolphins stadium

Marlinsman, I know he overachieved, but how much would it have cost to retain him? He has 2 years of service. He's not even arbitration-eligible, unless there's something in the system that I don't understand, and he doesn't have to be as great as last year either. He had a respectable FIP of 3.40, which I'd take as an ERA any day. Also, there's nothing wrong with benefiting from Dolphins Stadium if you stay in Dolphins Stadium. But I hope Beinfest was right and he's no good anymore, since he's on the Rays now.

Martinez is not a fit for the marlins and contradictory to several other older pitchers available on the market like Smoltz, Byrd etc.. I doubt he would be of much use as a teach as the head hunter and "me 1st" mentality that he has always head throughout his career.

On his HOF chances.. Yeah, he was the most dominant starter in the game from 97-2003 even though he only won 20 games 2 times within that span, the fact that nobody ever wanted to face him, his outstanding command of the zone and of 3 pitches was just dominating and he was truly the top starter of that period and his record backs that up at 214-99 even now when he can't even get ppl out anymore.

If the marlins were willing to even listen to buchholz, ellsbury, and some for hanley, then the yankees should try and get him to play shortstop so we can move jeter to center.

we'll offer the marlins: hughes, melky, coke, kennedy, miranda, and nady

for

ramirez

then sign manny

you're set with

c posada
1b teixeira
2b cano
3b a-rod
ss ramirez
lf manny
cf jeter
rf swisher
dh matsui

suck that

why?

they get a potential ace, a good hitting of, another young of, a potential mid rotation guy, a reliever and a young 1b.

i guess ramirez is totally unavaiable.

what about jose reyes or miguel tejada

What the heck? Why are we discussing the Marlins on Yankee Trade Rumors?

Pedro had three options: kill Zimmer, run away from the idiot, or dump his sad clown butt to the ground out of pity.

Wow, are they really calling De La Cruz "Frankie?" I remember when Rod Allen gave him that nickname.
