Vertical Limit said:Wishful thinking? I'm sorry, but A-Rod is the anti-clutch. I don't wish for A-Rod to come. He is just a big name around the league and could sell tickets, but I don't wish for him. I rather have Hanley Ramirez anytime, any day.
Isn't that what the Marlins need though? He's a future Hall of Famer and one of the best players in baseball. Yes he's had trouble in the playoffs but he was good in Seattle in the playoffs and before Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS he was batting over .400.
If Arod would say yes to the Marlins, the FO and fans would be nuts to say no to him (of course depending on how much talent you'd have to give up). He'd put butts in the seats, which the Marlins need, and he could have been the difference in the Marlins making the playoffs or not.
If Arod was on the Marlins, he'd play SS and the you could move Hanley to CF (which he played a little bit in the minors with the Red Sox and let's face it Arod is a better SS) so you kill two birds with 1 stone. The Marlins get a big bat to protect Miggy and get a CFer.
Of course like I say earlier I doubt he'd ever say yes to go to FL but if he would I'd jump on it. I bet he'd be good with the Marlins, there would be no Jeter comparisons or pressure on him.
