Marlins Possibly Interested in Winn?

"Greg Cote's article indicates the Marlins may look to bring in a corner outfielder with speed and strong defense, using internal options for the new-look infield. There's been no indication he's available, but could the Marlins inquire on Carl Crawford? A more reasonable target could be San Francisco's Randy Winn (either one would become the team's highest-paid player, however)."

So, what do you think? Possibly a part of a package for Uggla, Cantu, or Jacobs?

No To Jacobs

He is not the type of lefty whose power will play well at AT&T. But, yes to either Uggla or Cantu who are pure righthanded pull power hitters and this does play well at AT&T.

This looks more like speculation by the author of the article rather than actual interest. It’d be helpful if the guy actually linked to the article. Also I’m amused that his signature picture includes Zito as an “Ace”. I’m so glad SB Nation doesn’t allow signature pictures.

There amass been plenty of articles written this spring about the stud shortstop Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum , as well as the fluid young outfielders and thirteen basemen Kevin Frandsen.

Saw this too

I think we are over-hyping Sanchez, I mean Zito had more ****ing wins than he did.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh man…

Sanchez is a LOSING pitcher!

And he’s always injured! Zito never misses a start and even when he does it’s not because he’s injured.

And Zito is proven! Sanchez hasn’t even pitched over 160 innings in a season yet!

You prefer the score after the first half inning of a Zito home start?

anyone see Heyman’s column?? He said he wouldn’t trade either Prince Fielder or JJ Hardy even up for Cain, let alone the both of them. I doubt most GM’s are as stupid as Heyman, but it really shows why you don’t trade low when you have a talent like Cain.

I don’t see the Marlins actually spending money to bring in talent the way they’ve been operating lately.

Wait a second. Isn’t it about time for the Marlins to win a world series, then have a fire sale the following off season? Yes. Yes, it is. Maybe they will do something like this.

by chilibean_3 on Oct 7, 2008 9:38 PM PDT reply actions

They're about due

If the Marlins keep to their schedule, they should win the World Series next year (1997, 2003, 2009…), and if history holds true, that means they also have to beat the Giants in the NLDS to get there.

So, Giants win the West next year?

On the bright side, we’ll get one of their best relievers the year after! Here’s hoping he’s more like Robb Nen than Armando Benitez.

Plus, we’ll get to see a 43 year old Jeff Conine roaming left field once the Marlins sign him mid-season.

by rotorueter on Oct 7, 2008 11:08 PM PDT up reply actions

So while we’re running with this “schedule” idea…

Giants in the World Series in ‘89, ’02… Next Giants World Series in 2015? And we’d be facing the Mariners or Rangers?

9 million for a guy that produces at about 16 million dollars last year then will probably walk as a compensated -extra draft pick (s) – free agent next winter? Just what part of that commitment wouldn’t give The Fish a 6 hour long hard on?

I would hate for us to trade for Cantu especially when we could’ve had him for free last offseason.
