If I were Hanley, I'd keep in mind the Carlos Delgado contract. Make sure to get a no-trade so you can at least control where you're going.
Please see #6. Makes perfect sense.
They don't spend money, but I'd argue that the Marlins organization is as good at talent identification and gets as much out of what they have as any team in the league.
2005 Payroll
Marlins: $60.4M
Twins: $56.2M
.301 .329 .434
Not exactly MVP numbers, given the kid's Jeter-D thus far. Very nice for a SS of course.
FWIW
Looking at the ZR numbers, Reyes is off to a pretty poor start. Worse than Hanley.
He's slightly better using RZR, 848 to 831 for Hanley, but Hanley has more out of zone plays, 11 to Reyes' 4. Reyes is off to a pretty mediocre start in RZR too though, there are 6 SS in the NL whom RZR rates higher: Tulo, Izturis, Yunel, Tejada, Bocock, Greene.
Looking at every remotely noteworthy transaction in Beinfest's tenure, I'm staggered by the extent to which his reputation outstrips his performance.
The lesson is that if your predecessor leaves you a cupboard full of good stuff, go ahead and trade it for less than it's collectively worth. After a time, most people won't remember half the things you gave up, so you'll only be judged on the prominent pieces you received rather than the net flow of talent, forever sealing your renown as a keen judge and developer of prospects.
If your first year or two, defensively, is poor that is your true talent level for life...

#29,
Of course Beinfest's "net talent flow" looks poor. And of course he traded lots of the good cupboard away. It isn't like he had a choice. He simply isn't allowed (expect possibly, surprisingly, in this case of Hanley) to keep players once they hit arbitration.
You can't evaluate a guy dealing with the unique limitations of the Marlins ownership and 20-mil payroll like you would a GM in a normal situaiton. you really can't even compare him to most other small-market situations. The best comparison to Beinfest's situation you can only see by popping "Major League" into the DVD player
Who was the best pitcher to leave the NL after 2007?
Livan Hernandez? Octavio Dotel? Scott Linebrink?
Somewhat related questions: Is there somewhere where you can look at a list of transactions a team makes over period X?
No, that's just where it is on the list.
Reyes signed an extension last year. He and Wright.
Agreed. $10 mil/year in arb is a steal too. He should get that or more in his first year. How did you come up with -5 as the lower limit for keeping him at SS. What's the problem with him being -10?
Each team's official site has a list of transactions dating back to 2001 under "Roster."
