Meh. No Trade Clauses make things suck.

Wouldn't be a bad trade for the Marlins if they really want to get rid of Lowell, but looks like this is going on the back burner now if Nevin is an O.

One obstacle to moving Ponson is his weight.
Alright, that zing was not needed and cruel, but I enjoyed it.

Damn though, the Marlins seem willing to do about anything to dump Lowell. I can't blame them but they're really limiting the AJ Burnett market by playing it this way in my opinion.

At least Lowell had done something in the past to earn a big contract, Ponson has done crap. The marlins should avoid Ponscum.

Trevor Miller would be all they get for him?

Remember when the Giants gave 3 pitching spects for the guy? Damn.

The Giants traded damaged goods to the Orioles for Ponson. Moss faded after compiling a record of 7-1 or something like that, and Ainsworth and Hannaman had injuries.

Doesn't matter. It was still for Sidney Ponson!

I still don't get why teams even want to mess with Ponson. The Marlins and the Padres must not be thinking correctly. I just don't see Ponson coming back to what he once was. Whatever team wants him, they must have a big plan to get this guy on some kind of a diet.
