    Yep, they will buy a good team to sell tickets and then have a fire sell in a couple of years.

    Its all a head fake.

    Middle relief

    Starting pitching

    Overall talent is still an issue.

    Reyes was just something to make people buy tickets. Now, I don't know if the Heath Bell deal is final but with a guy like Pujols on the team, then I'll believe that the Marlins are going all the way. Like my idiotic Padres, every year they sign some veteran just to put butts in the seats.

    I thought this was common knowledge that the Marlins do this kind of thing like every 6 years

    I thought the Padres did this every 10 years.

    Reyes will not play 100 games let alone 150. he got his payday, he will barley see the field. this is one of those contracts that people will be saying wtf did they do that for in 3 yrs. he will be like carl povano with the yankees. at minimum he has 2 dl stints per season. i know they had to do something in order to put asses in the seats , i get it. but this move will not make them anywhere near a contender.

    Although I hate what the Marlins franchise stands for, the new stadium is pretty damn sweet. I was their for the open house and free hot dogs

    you kiddin me dude??? with reyes now that lineup is STACKED and 1-4 is one of the best in baseball with reyes, infante, hanley and stanton.....

    WE ARE LOADING UP TO BEAT THOSE PHILS AND BRAVES, BUT WE STILL need another starter or 2...volstad is simply god awful and vazquez leaves as well so with leblanc ok....good spot starter, but we're not done we need buerhle over shitty wilson and if not i wont be shocked if we swing a deal for gio gonzalez if we dont get pujols or fielder..

    i hope we get prince, its such a logical fit and then trade gaby for pitching......but we'll see.....we have to overpay for reyes as we dont give any no trade clauses....which screws us but leaves us an out....

    bell though was worth the money even if overpaid as WE NEED A CLOSER BAD....just signing him gets us 10 more wins a year and if we had that, we'd be in the playoffs like 4 of the last 6 years


    IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT CHEAP **** LORIA OPENS THE WALLET EVEN WITH THE SEC INVESTIGATON, WHICH COULD BE GOOD AS IF LORIA AND SAMSON GET THE BOOT A LEGIT OWNER COULD MAYBE BUY THE FISH WITH THE NEW STADIUM AND PUMP MONEY INTO US

    If Reyes can stay healthy, then this is a nice pickup for the Marlins. For those who live in the NYC area and follow MLB, we know this is a BIG if....

    no man. even the best closer are only worth about 2 to 3 wins a year over a replacement player.

    heath bell is worth about 1.
