We are not getting Wood as a Setup man. He is going to demand at least Fuentes money. 3-4 years 10-12 million. Do you honestly think the Mets will pay that for a setup man>

With Kerry Wood now being replaced by Gregg, if the Mets can settle their closer situation with either KROD, Jenks or Fuentes, I would love to see them try to get Wood as a setup man.

Eh, this is kind of a terrible move for them. Ceda projects to be much better than Gregg and would have been under control cheaply for 5-6 years. And he could have been ready by the end of 09, possibly earlier. Baseball prospectus had Ceda ranked as their third prospect and a 4 star prospect. They thought he’d be a dominating big league closer. Baseball America had him 4th last year and he likely would have been 3rd/4th again this year

The Marlins can afford to keep thier players, they just dont want to.

They will be getting 40-50 million from the other teams again next year, just like last year. They can afford more than a 15 mil payroll, but they would rather stash the profits so they can build a stadium on MLB’s dollars.

Marmol to close while making setup money, so they can afford Gregg for a year or two. Smart move by a club with some financial flexability and sense.

Gregg was very good for the Marlins until his injury. I won’t be surprised if he does well for the cubs.

The Marlins should just merge with the Pirates, they can only afford one player out of 25. It’s just a sad, sorry sight.
