    What fans? The Marlins have none.

    I'll stop your quote right here, because the rest of your post is irrelevant since your assumption in this question is inaccurate. I said that BSN had little basis to make the statement he made-- that it would be be extremely hard to move Reyes contract. I stand by that statement, and taking issue with the statement that something would be "extremely hard" doesn't equate with me believing that it would be easy. You are all mixed up. Look at what he said and what I said, not what you think I meant through your warped filter of who you think I am.

    I might offer arb to only Ellsbury and Salty who I would trade.
  4. a700hitter
    Miggy is just a beast with the bat. No one compares to him at this point.
  5. a700hitter
    Stanton could knock down the Green Monster.
  6. a700hitter
    I don't think it would be possible for him to be less productive for this 2 year contract than Mike Cameron was on his 2 year deal with the Red Sox.
  7. a700hitter
    I remain hopeful that the Sox will make moves, although the Blue Jays are really making things more difficult in the AL East.
  8. a700hitter
    And this is still the lead story on the Red Sox: I expect there will be deals in place two weeks from tomorrow.
  9. a700hitter
    And they put more distance between us.

    Why would I expect Ben to pull off the trade? He's on the Blue Jays. The Blue Jay GM would have to move him. As I said before, a SS did not make the top 4 on my wish list for the Red Sox. Try to keep up with the conversation. BTW you may not be naive, but you are either misinformed or you are being deceptive. It should be very easy to move Reyes at age 35 after 2018, because his contract will be over at 2017 with a $4 million buyout in 2018.
  11. a700hitter
    You are right about me being right, but you have little basis for the highlighted statement.
  12. a700hitter
    Maybe so.
  13. a700hitter
    If Carl Crawford could be traded within a week after TJ surgery, anyone can be traded. I didn't say that Reyes would be easy to trade. That's your filter at work again. I said that he would be easier to trade than Crawford because he plays SS. I stand by that.
  14. a700hitter
    At this point in time, the Jays are significantly better than the Red Sox. I don't care how the Jays look 4 years from now. Is that a win now mentality? It's just an assessment of what is. Our team sucks right now, and I have no great confidence that we will be contending for a championship in 4 years based on our FO leadership and our farm system. Who the hell knows? If I don't know what the Sox will look like in 4 years, how can I presume to know what the Jays will be like in 4 years?
  15. a700hitter
    I never said that. Those are your words. A shortstop wasn't in the top 4 things that I want the FO to accomplish this season. I posted my plan several times. Read that and criticize that.
  16. a700hitter
    The more salary you take on the lesser prospects you give up. Except for one badly injury marred year, he has averaged 150 games/yr since he has been a starting SS. He hasn't been on the operating table yet. He is not Edgar Renteria. You need to see this guy play on a daily basis.
  17. a700hitter
    The contract is not close to as bad as Crawford's and because Reyes plays a premium position there will always be a much better trade market for him than Crawford.
  18. a700hitter
    Wait until you see Reyes play 20 times a year. I'd take him on my team any time.
  19. a700hitter
    Where are the posters who argued with my opinion that this vote would not be close. I am sure that Miggy lost a few votes on the character issue for his DUI. Of course, it would not be close. When will people learn?
  20. a700hitter
    And they will happen before tickets go on sale on December 1st.
  21. a700hitter
    That can happen when you actually read my posts without applying your own filter to my words to skew my meaning which leads you to dispute matters that are not being contended.
  22. a700hitter
    I agree with you. I would concentrate on fixing the pitching since that was the roots of the 2012 failure. Two starters and a reliever would put this team back on track.
  23. a700hitter
    That would be a very respectable 2013 team. That's all I am looking for-- moving away from the utter failure that we have witnessed since September 2011. We have to see what they will do.
  24. a700hitter
    Your plan is more aggressive on the offense side. Mine is more aggressive on the pitching side. I think that my approach is less costly. Either way, the 2013 team would be respectable, so I don't think either of us is being negative.
  25. a700hitter
    We could do worse. We could get them both and still have a ton of payroll available. IMO, they could upgrade from Guthrie and have plenty of payroll to play with.
