Cudos to the NL for finally beating the AL after 14 years of dominance. About time. More pending news now that the allstar game is over. What are the Marlins doing? Nothing it seems. Fired a perfectly good manager and now it looks as though some key Marlins are on the trading block including Cody Ross, Cantu, Uggla, and Nolasco. What! Marlins have already given up the season with their own inept ability to acquire some bullpen help when pitchers were hurt. Some hard fought games that were lost during the first half and Loria is backpeddlin fast. Lets just jump off that horse in the middle of the stream!!! If these players go and the Marlins acquire pitching which seems like a no brainer, who will be in the starting lineup come 2011? Enter Maybin who is still green, Logan Morrison who has never played in the bigs, Bonifacio who still can’t hit and so on. Who will take Nolasco’s spot in the rotation? Miller? Hensley? Vandenhurk? Voldstad? I think not. They better get some good trades for what they are possibly gonna give up….. I thought they wanted to have a full stadium in 2012. They will lose another fan base if the fire sale begins. If these four players go, so goes the Marlins>
With that being said, rumors have it that the Braves are looking at Cody to fill a spot in the outfield. Fans are mixed about this trade. Mainly because Ross does not have the power numbers he had last year. Balony on that. His average is up, OBP is up, and he is better than an average outfielder on defense. I love these guys that just look at the numbers and have never watched him play the outfield. He would be a big plus to the Braves.. I would actually like to see Ross go to the Phillies and play with his old buddies from the minor’s being Victorino and Worth. Next two weeks should be interesting before the trade deadline…
