    I actually like them too. Despite his .220 batting average and being a few years older than Pagan, I like Torres. He was hurt last year but really impressed me during the 2010 season.

    those two anchored the jays bullpen last year ... and we set like a record for blown saves i think ... enjoy them ... :shock:

    although francisco was better in the latter half of the season ...

    There's no way in the world he signs with the Marlins...,he's using the Marlins as leverage to get as much as he can from the Cards. The money is too close to leave at this point.

  • The Padres acquired Huston Street from Colorado. The Rockies are trying to sign Brad Lidge to be their closer. I'm not sure what San Diego had to give up in the deal.

    Player to be named later, it sounds like.
  • McCarver won the Ford Frick Award for excellence in broadcasting. Seriously?
  • I just checked this out on Twackle and they've fixed the link to show the real Heyman's tweets--but they still haven't figured out how to fix it so it doesn't show the fake Heyman's tweets from Tuesday, so anyone checking older posts will still think that's really him. :lol:
    I don't know what's up with Heyman but he's posting all sorts of odd updates and rumors. He also tweeted that the Marlins upped their offer to Pujols to 13 years and posted this tweet to Wilson and Beltran: "hey any rumors I can pass on as EXCLUSIVES? you want me to link you guys to the Yankees to boost $$$?"

    And this one: "I think @HanleyRamirez needs to update his twitter to say 3B for the Miami Marlins, Jock strap holder to Jose Reyes."

    I heard he's leaving si.com soon. Maybe he's just going out with a blaze of stupid glory.

    Andy Martino is saying that it looks like he's going back to the Cards and the Marlins are turning their attention to Fielder.

    Where are the Marlins getting all this ca$h? It's nice now, but boy are their hands going to be tied in 4 -5 years with these HUGE contracts.

  • They're moving into a new stadium with a retractable roof so they're planning on a big attendance boost. I think they've also been profitable for the past few years and have been hoarding their money.

  • The New York Daily News says the Marlins are supposedly out of the Pujols derby and expect him to sign with the Cardinals. They may turn their attention to Fielder now, after all.

    Rollins is close to a deal to stay with the Phillies, according to Chris Singleton.

    That was fun while it lasted. Looks like they have $220 million to dick around with, even though they wont spend it all. Pujols should be headed back where he blongs.
  • Look out, world! The Pirates signed Erik Bedard. I'd say the Marlins are only the Winter Meeting's 2nd-biggest winners now!

    This has to be that only Pujols was worth that amount of money because of the image he would've marketed to the Miami area. Because if they have that money then they should go after Prince, but they won't.
  • I agree with you 100%. Pujols is definitely worth more to Miami than Fielder in terms of marketing, but Fielder is the better long-term deal due to his age. They can probably get Fielder on an 8-year deal. I've heard conflicting reports about whther they're going to go after him now or not. One report says they will. Another says they'll go after pitching. Another says they'll go after him and a pitcher. My head hurts trying to sort it out.

    Edit: Tom Verducci says the Marlins have made a 6-year offer to CJ Wilson. I think that's 2 years too many for a guy who only has 2 years as a starter under his belt. For their sake, I hope the last 2 years are options of some sort.

  • The Marlins are putting Hanley Ramirez on the trading block. I hope he gets traded to a team with no hope of contending like Houston or Pittsburgh. The dummy should have just shut him mouth and played 3B for a potential contender while collecting his $11.66 million ever year. Unfortunately, I don't think Houston or Pittsburgh would be in the market for him so it's more likely that he'll wind up on a better team that needs a SS and has a 3B, starting pitcher, or good prospects to send to Miami.

    Owner said this isn't the case so who knows. Saw both reports.

    Agreed, Fielder is a much better signing long term. Pitching and Fielder would be a lot better than Pujols, regardless of how great he is.
