Nice to see the MLBPA make a stand to a team not spending money.

I like the Rangers and I was hoping they could get their hands on some pitching, when I heard that to be a rumored offer; knowing the Marlins track record I thought it may have a chance of going down.

2. I can't believe JJ signed that contract considering he was so close the FA and the team that offered it was the Marlins.
3. I don't care what his #1 goal was....bad deal...he would have got Boardwalk & Park Place from whomever in between '10 and '11.

He will be traded.
1) The Marlins could have not resigned him and lost him in Free Agency
2) The Marlins could have traded him this season and got prospects for him, but the team getting him would have to sign him to an extension
3) The Marlins signed him for four years. His contract is less than $10M (Cheap) and he is signed cheap for 4 years.
If the Marlins trade him one or two years into the extension they will get better prospects in return, the team getting him would have a cheap quality pitcher with two or three years left in his contract.
I would be shocked if Johnson made it past the trade deadline in 2012 without being traded.

mredsox89 said:Cot's reports that his deal is this:
2010-3.75M
2011-7.75
2012-13.75
2013-13.75
Coincidently, this matches up right with Hanley's big contract increase. I don't see Johnson pitching for the Marlins after the 2011 season.

Haden Penn, Dan Meyer & Burke Badenhop are also on the 40 man roster, but they're all behind those 7/8 you listed Tucker is likely in the bullpen.
Graham Taylor is not far off, but also not an impact guy. Chad James is currently the high ceiling prospect but he's a Long way away. THey should be able to find 3 really good options from those 5-6 guys after the two locks in Johnson & Nolasco.
