I'd rather trade them for good position prospects right now. TB would probably take Mitre for Gathright. Throw in another prospect to Tampa Bay and we have Reid Brignac, or see if they will bite for Upton. Either way, we fill the need @2B and CF. Now all we need is a good young LF. Seattle wants Villone back, package him with a prospect for Jeremy Reed. There, our OF and IF is complete, maybe another young C somewhere since all we have is Willingham...all bat and no D, and Jourgenson and Treanor, all D and no bat.
We have a bullpen already with Bowyer, Kensing, Tankersly, Bostick, Resop, Delgado, and Messenger.
Use Tyler as the #4 starter next year and the year after as a stop gap for Chris Volstad.
First of all, great site you guys have here. Congrats on your WS title.
That's some bullpen you have put together for the Marlins, 84. Adam Bostick isnt ready and Delgado(I assume Jesus) isnt even close to ready. Bostick struggled for command in AA giving up almost 6 walks per 9. His era was less than stellar in this pitcher's paradise as well(4.67) As for Delgado, let's let him get promoted past A-ball before you give him a spot in the bullpen. Taylor Tankersely also needs atleast a month or 2 in the minors to give him a spot in the bullpen.
Now you suggest using Scott Tyler as the #4 starter for the Marlins next year? Do you just make stuff up? He hasnt passed A-ball either yet and I wouldnt exactly say he dominated it either.
And do you have a clue about Josh Willingham? He will quickly be one of the better offensive catchers in the NL, and it appears new Marlins manager Joe Girardi is gonna help him be a better defensive catcher as well.
and a big LOL to "lets see if the DRays bite on BJ Upton"... thats too cute
