This was originally a fanshot, but since things are slower than molasses mixed with superglue lately, I figured I'd make it a fanpost so more people would see it.
Appearing as a guest on Marlins flagship station 790 The Ticket's "Hot Stove Show" on Saturday, [GM Michael] Hill was asked if Johnson would be with the team next season. "Yes, I can say with certainty, yes," Hill said.
....
"Our philosophy is fairly straightforward," Hill said. "We feel that when we pitch, we give ourselves an opportunity to win a ballgame every night. We need five guys to step up and get us deep into ballgames and take pressure off our bullpen. "From our standpoint, that's the most important thing for us moving to 2010, is making sure that our pitching, and our starting pitching, does what it's capable of doing."
And so it would appear Josh Johnson is now officially this winter's Zack Grienke: not really available.

Hi, Keith. Is this the year Edinson Volquez finally wins RoY?
Everyone's available
It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.
Sarcasm old bean, sarcasm.

Does this mean Nolasco is not available
I don’t believe the Marlins want all these guys that are in arbitration. That is when they like to trade them.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Very possibly
a negotiating/pr tactic.
When they trade him, it’s not because they couldn’t afford him in arbitration, but they wanted to keep him, however, they got an offer they couldn’t refuse.
Seems like the right time
for Newberg and OC to make trade proposals for him.
"I don't condone steroids or any other type of growth hormones or anything else, but I could care less, and, for the most part, I don't think the fans give a (bleep). The people that care about it are the people that probably don't like baseball," - Jim Leyland
