Busy off-season By Post Staff | Tuesday, November 11, 2008, 06:15 PM Welcome back, folks. Sorry for my absence but I did enjoy catching up with my family on my recent vacation. I come back today to a vastly different Marlins team! Mike Jacobs, Josh Willingham, Scott Olsen? All gone? Who?s next? My hunch is Dan Uggla and Jeremy Hermida stay but Kevin Gregg is traded. Whether the deals so far will bear fruit is the question. Leo Nunez (from the Royals for Jacobs) is expected to play a big role in the bullpen. Emilio Bonifacio (from Washington for Hammer and Olsen) is supposed to be an everyday player. He has a slick glove at second but the Marlins will try him out this spring at third base. I?m not sure I like this trade. After all, Olsen caused headaches but he was an innings eater. Now, only Nolasco (213) has logged at least 200 innings. Meanwhile, fresh rumors have the Marlins planning to make a run at Manny Ramirez. I haven?t been able to confirm that just yet, but interesting that the Marlins made a run in July. Anyway, what does everyone think of the changes made by new-look Marlins so far? Chime in! http://www.palmbeachpost.com/blogs/content...florida_marlins

why are you people hating in Alfredo...........He has been great defensively and the bat will come around chill out..........Hermida playing center....haaaaaa..... :shifty :shifty as far as center remember in 03 we had a horrible CF with no arm and we didnt turn out to bad keeping Gonzo and Hermida will give us the best lineup out of any scenerio Hermida Gonzo Ramirez Jacobs Willingham Cantu Uggla Robelo or Ramirez Hermida Willingham Jacobs Cantu Gonzo Uggla Robelo Would be my best bet the whole point is you can see with the more at bats gonzo gets the better he gets hes a vet that knows how to win i love amezega but not everyday

I am giving my (2) tickets away for tomorrow's game.. I am unable to attend. All I ask is that you please paypal me $ 5.00 so I can email the tickets to you..

ill take them

Why do the Marlins need to bring in anyone? Maybin will likely be starting next season if not late this year. It seems to defeat the purpose in trading for an elite CFer. Amezaga, Ross, and Carroll should be adequate if they are used properly. I'm not going to say the Marlins won't compete this year, but I never would have guessed they would be tied for first in the first week of May. However, we still need to be realistic here. Lofton probably won't sign here and cost about $6 million last season. It would be money down the toilet. Just be patient and allow our own players to develop. There is no guarantee that the Jones would even match Ross's production. (Yes, I'm still assuming that Ross improves). He hit well enough last season to receive a roster spot, in my opinion. i dont think you read my post entirely i stated i would prefer moving hermida to Cf and Gonzo in right where both would fit in just fine and would be much better off than having Carrol in this line up everyday

Rose and go get brand next year Rose,Wade,Wright,Haslem,Brand Solid

Now with the Rumors of Jaque Jones do you think he would fit this team because i personaly think if the marlins and going to get help the best fit would be Kenny Lofton reason being he knows how to win hes a vet and we all know what he can do from the leadoff spot not saying this would be the best thing we could do but if help is coming from outside the organization this would be a better fit .i feel we can probly fix the CF from within shifting Hermida to Center and moving Gonzo into the everyday lineup in Right or just bringing up Maybin once hes ready leaving Amezega in center for now cause hes doing a decent job thus far let me know what you think :thumbup

4-29-08 Dodgers If anyone is selling let me know

Hi i am planing on taking a group of 20 to the marlins game on May 3 and i wanted to see if you guys know of any deals that i can get for these tickets any help would be awsome thanks in advance

Let's not go overboard quite yet. We know Andino's got the glove though, so these are certainly good signs. Thank you! Best comment in this thread I don't know how its going overboard iww are not talking about a great 3rd basemen in Cantu not saying he's a bad player but how much is the 2006 season contributing to him starting today he's not really proving much and Andino is just more comfortable at the plate and has always played the left side of the infield so untill cantu shows something I think the hot bat should start

what do you think about plugging him in at 3rd the only reason cantu is there now is for his bat and hasn't shown much and helms showed in Philly he can't go every day what do you guys think

We need to get Hendrickson outta there once Anibal returns. Hendrickson is by no means cy young , however I leave him in the rotation until he pitches his way out of the rotation . He did not pitch poorly against the pirates , and i think he was pulled a bit early in that game and probably had earned the right to pitch out of the mini jam that Logan nearly turned into a major jam . i agree i see him as the 03 version of Mark Remond solid vet in the rotation

I was listening to the Joe Rose Show this Mourning I only caught the end of the interview but what Joe Arriola was saying was that they have a deal in place to ?build something the Marlins and the city of Miami could be proud of? but David Samson or as he calls him ?Mickey Mouse? was being to ?picky? throughout the process and he also said that if they want it with all the little things they need to contribute more money.

That is not billy the marlin i know that beacuse the real billy the marlin is my neighbor.

Cbs 4 says the deal for jwill and walker is done and just needs league approval

In that scenario, the Marlins would have received pitchers Bronson Arroyo and Joe Mays. Bill Mueller and prospects would have gone to the Twins, and the Red Sox were set to get Lowell, Burnett and J.C. Romero. -Sun Sentinel

I have an idea if lowell contiunes to struggle how about we put Cabs at third and Bring herminda up and put him in left Pierre Cf Castillo 2b Cabs 3b Delgado 1b LoDuca C Enc Rf Hermidia Lf Gonzalez SS

i dont think it's a choice, you have to play for the country you were born in am i missing something? does he have duel citizenship? 852239[/snapback] Yes you do have a choice, and his choice was his parents domican rebulic

Arod is american, i believe 852224[/snapback] Yes he is but he said last Night the he will be playing for the dominican team

I would go with A-Rod at third

DO YOU GUYS THINK IF SEA BASS LEAVES VIA FREE AGENCY THAT CABS WOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE BACK TO HIS NATURAL POISTION OF SS?
