My team (the Marlins) has won two world championships in the past 12 years, unless you are a Yankees or Red Sox fan, both of whom have payrolls that far exceed the league limit, you cannot say the same thing. So quit being a douchebag hater and lets talk some baseball.

Marlins Showing Some Interest In Carroll
7:03pm: Gonzalez has filed a blog post on the topic with quotes and more. As he notes, the Marlins will probably step up their efforts to sign Carroll if they're able to trade second baseman Dan Uggla. Most clubs are looking at Carroll as a utilityman; might the lure of more playing time draw ...
I think Dan should just stay where he is....in Miami.

Dan Uggla Hopes To Remain At Second Base
Yahoo's Tim Brown, talking to Dan Uggla's agent Jeff Borris, learned that Uggla wants to stay at second base. Said Borris: "Danny Uggla's been a full-time second baseman for the last four years. He's performed exceptionally well at that position. Although he has the athleticism to play other p...
Bobby Cox NEEDS to be gone after this season.....seriously....anybody who was actually around when dinosaurs roamed the earth needs to not be coaching baseball.

Discussion: Managers On The Hot Seat
Scott Miller of CBSSports.com writes that some managers around the league might be fearing for their jobs as their teams play out the string. Managers who "are thought by some to be" on the hot seat, with relevant quotes from Miller, include: Baltimore's Dave Trembley - "in imminent danger" Ho...

Cubs Rumors: Harden, Heilman, Bradley
SATURDAY, 4:02pm: Ken Rosenthal said during a segment on FOX Saturday Baseball that a deal between the Twins and Cubs for right-hander Rich Harden could indeed happen. Rosenthal made a couple of valid points: First, Harden is an impending free agent and the Cubs could always re-sign him in the ...
No Sheffield is no longer able to carry a team's offense on his own but he can't hurt a team's offense either.

Sheffield Doesn't Expect To End Year With Mets
Gary Sheffield has already been claimed on waivers and pulled back by the Mets. If they put him on waivers again, they wouldn't be able to prevent teams from claiming him for nothing and clubs would presumably pick up the 40-year-old outfielder and his .856 OPS. Still, Sheffield told Larry Brook...

Dodgers Interested In Padilla?
4:53pm: Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports hears from an unnamed source that the Dodgers have some interest in Padilla. However, a Dodgers official downplayed the club's interest. 9:38am: A person within the Dodgers front office tells Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times that the team isn't likely to purs...
Because that type of nonsense belongs on ESPN boards, this is for legit, serious, well-informed debate and discussion, not inane arguing and insult hurling.
I agree go sell crazy someplace else.

If he signs with the Marlins, not sure how I feel about that, it would give Smoltz more of an opportunity to stick it to Atlanta than he would get with St. Louis.

Pirates Willing To Listen
According to Jon Paul Morosi and Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, the Pirates are "probably, but not necessarily," done dealing. The writers suggest the Bucs will listen on pitchers Paul Maholm, Zach Duke, and Matt Capps, but are not shopping them.
I still like the potential of the Gonzalez/Bell trade....think of THAT upgrade potential.

If Marlins Land Nick Johnson, Can Cameron Maybin Be Far Behind?
If the Marlins succeed in wrestling Nick Johnson away from the Nationals before this afternoon's trade deadline, it'll be interresting to see how the rest of the dominos fall. Johnson's arrival would almost certainly force Jorge Cantu back to third base, suspect throwing arm and al...

Good. Because now that I think about it, we need a 5th SP rather then a closer. We have a good enough bullpen. Sean West or Andrew Miller could be a good 5th starter.
Nick Johnson would be a much better acquisition.
Agreed.

I still REALLY like the Gonzalez/Bell idea.....but the left handed Nick Johnson in the lineup to protect Hanley Ramirez is a good more financially feasible solution.

Good luck prying either Hermida or Cody Ross out of Florida right now....they are one win shy of sweeping the Braves out of south Florida and have their eyes fixed on the NL East or the Wild Card.

Yeah, keep dreaming Hanley Ramirez is a franchise player and is part of the Marlins' future. And good luck getting Cody Ross to budge. hey love him South Florida and all moving him would do is hurt the fragile fan base.
