Comments on: Add two teams to the Dan Uggla mix http://marlinmaniac.com/2009/11/11/add-two-teams-to-the-dan-uggla-mix/ A Miami Marlins Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:02:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Michael Jong http://marlinmaniac.com/2009/11/11/add-two-teams-to-the-dan-uggla-mix/comment-page-1/#comment-444 Michael Jong Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:29:27 +0000 http://marlinmaniac.com/?p=1148#comment-444 Moti, Thanks again for the good word. As always, tell your fellow Marlins fans and spread the good word! I think it may go the other way around. I think it depends on what the return for the players dealt. If they get a decent outfielder, I think they'll move Coghlan. If they get pitching, expect another season in left field. Here's hoping they get a young, useful part for this season and some stuff for the future. My biggest concern is the fact that the Marlins may feel getting a young outfielder doesn't fit long term given their minor league options. Still, I don't think the team would be against picking up a stopgap if the player is cost-controlled and has some upside. Moti,

I cannot tell you enough how much I love the blog.As a die-hard Marlins fan,I am addicted! Michael,

Whether or not they would take it is another story, but given his youth and the team's need for another outfielder, I think they should consider. That being said, I don't think it'll happen. I should probably explore San Francisco's options. Matt P,

Castillo is a 35 year old "prospect" who can get lefties out in the majors. Liz was a top hundred prospect maybe three years ago who has great stuff and no control. If he ever figures it out, he'll be a #2 pitcher but he's about as likely to figure it out as Daniel Cabrera. We do have a decent farm system. But we totally stripped the major league team to build it.
