It places undue burdens upon organizations already facing serious financial burdens to competing. No team should be compelled to act in a manner that draws them away from putting the best team possible on the field, or developing such a team.

I doubt he could do anything about it if the team asked, but the team also doesn't view Coghlan as a second baseman, it seems like. We should also consider the prospect of contention for the team. They're a couple of wins from serious contention (I have a projection based on a weighted average of CHONE, the Fans, and Marcel/Steve Sommer's defensive projections that has the team at 87 proj. wins, though I think the Fans may have pushed this up a bit). Every win (or half win in such cases) counts, I suppose. Guys like myself and nny have been clamoring for a move like this, but the knowledge that the team would probably rather start Bonifacio instead of Carroll makes an Uggla trade a little less favorable. If the odds of the team going with that alignment vs. Coghlan+Carroll are at 50/50 (not totally unreasonable), keeping Uggla would be a better call.

Does Uggla demand to stay in the infield or something? Is there some reason I am not aware of that prevents the Marlins from just moving Uggla into left and Coughlan to 2nd?

But the team could definitely use the money more wisely, same goes for Jorge Cantu. It seems the team themselves realize this, as reports are they still want to move Uggla. And if they move Uggla, that will put them under a 40 mil payroll, and reports are that their agreement with the union is that they will be over 40 mil. So if they trade him, they'd have to sign somebody, which would likely be a pitcher. The issue is just that they aren't being offered what they feel is fair value.

FLA might be better off trying to move Uggla at the deadline to a contender desperate for a bat.

Xavier Nady is probably close to being signable for the Marlins and he might be a good fit. As it is now no one is where they should be.
