Marlins Make Offer For Nick Johnson

Ryan Tucker would be a very good haul for Johnson.

What's the info on Aaron Thompson?

Yesss. Move Cantu back to 3B and send Bonifacio down or something cuz he is terrible.

Aaron Thompson is a 6'3 lefty, former 1st round pick. Career has been plagued with injuries. He will prob turn out to be a bullpen arm, maybe a situational lefty?

Ryan Tucker wants to be a starter but can't because he only has 2 pitches. Could be a future good closer...... If he gets the mentality

If the Nats give up their best trade chip for 2 middling relief pitchers, I'll be done with this team. Thought things would get better when Bowden quit, but I guess not. All the talk all along was how much they wanted for him - if this is their version of a lot, they need to get some new blood in the front office. One time first round picks does not mean good prospect.

Barroid_Bonds,

Getting Huff and Scott from the O's would be expensive - Huff is currently a type A arbitration-eligible guy, so the O's could possibly get a 1st and supplemental pick if someone else signs him this winter - any deal would have to provide more than that potential. And Scott is a fan favorite in Baltimore and is very valuable, partly because he isn't a free agent until after the 2012 season, so not just a rental. To get those 2 together, it would probably take multiple 'very good' prospects.

Hey I have three trades that I found. -The Marlins are in "strong talks" with the Kansas City Royals for Mark Teahen for " Undefined Pitching Prospect" -The Marlins are in "serious talks" with Colorado for Garret Atkins for "Undefined Batting Prospect" and -The Marlins send either Andruw Miller or Sean West to the Padres for Heath Bell. We were "interested" in bringing Willingham back but I don't believe that will occur.Then of course Nick Johnson. Out of those who would you rather get. Personally the dream of those would be to get Bell and Johnson.

Loopy,

I know they will be expensive together. But anyone else we are looking to add we be just as expensive too. Nick Johnson for 2 prospects? Why not get 2 good MLB players and trade say 5 or 6

FlaMarlinsFan I'm sure that the management has looked at Bannister but it always depends on what the other team wants and the Royals are notorious for high asking prices. The good thing that I heard David Sampson say to day is that there are currently 10 offers made by the Fish and other teams on the table. He gave it a 70/30 chance that they will pull the trigger on a trade but we'll just have to wait and see. I personally believe that a bat will help us more then arm help because our arms have been consistant and our offense has definately not. If you look at our arms 11 of our 13 arms have sub 3.60 ERA and the only one to have higher is Leo Nunez who is still dominent.

The Orioles would probably want top A-Plus prospects and we can't leave the amazing future we have for right now. No to Maybin, Morrison, Stanton adn you know that the Fish don't trade pitching. I know it's really early but I was just thinking of that 2012 line-up: CF Maybin 2ND Coghlan SS Hanley 1ST Logan Morrison RF Micheal Stanton 3RD Matt Dominguez C Skipworth OF Scott Cousins P Josh Johnson (Hopefully they sign him) Thats a distgusting line-up. Some are already Pro-Ready and if the rest prgress as scouted WOW 2012 Will be an amazing year. And to think that we don't even have to wait to see a playoff team like that cause we have one right now. Go Fish Believe in '09

Trade both Bonifacio and Hermida, I am sick of them.

Bonifacio
Hermida
Miller
Prospect

for

Bell
Gonzalez

if any "possible" deal involves stanton just forget it....if they wouldnt trade him in a deal for manny why would the trade him now?

if im whasington i say no tyo the trade.I ask for aaron Thompson and another prospect.

Ryan Tucker could be a future closer. I would try to steer the Nats in the direction of Aaron Thompson as much as possible, but eventually trade Tucker if we had to.

Exactly, fishfan4. I'm a nats fan and I would be happy with just about anything for him since he is only a 2 month rental and our record is so bad. We have no reason to hold on to him if we can get anybody with any potential whatsoever. Don't get me wrong, I love Nick Johnson on our team but it makes no sense to keep him. Same thing with Joe Beimel. They need to flip him for whatever they can get.
