I would think he's probably worth $7M after arb, or three years, $25M if they sign him, which they can afford and still have something left over for another guy if they're willing to get to $40M+ in 2010 payroll.<br /><br />We'll see; I think Florida is going to get a few offers from other clubs.Ron Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-53590811267072824272009-10-21T13:17:53.444-04:002009-10-21T13:17:53.444-04:00Ron, I would love to see Uggla in the 'burgh f...Ron, I would love to see Uggla in the 'burgh for a couple of years. I'd deal Duke before I'd deal Maholm; if he is physically sound---which he wasn't in 2009---Maholm is a very good number three starter who is capable of pitching better than that on occasion. In short: a VERY valuable commodity, particularly for a contender like the Marlins. Uggla is a plus offensive player despite his mediocre batting average. Plus, he's from my adopted hometown of Louisville, so what's not to like! <br /><br /><br />Actually, he's due some serious dollars in arbitration, but I presume the idea is that we take Maholm's millions off the books, throw in Hernandez, and we can more than afford Uggla.<br /><br /><br />I'd do it, personally, the more so because I never liked Gorkys Hernandez and hated the McLouth trade then and I hate it now. Getting Uggla would at least be a reasonable door prize.WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.com
