Edwin Velez

Bender's stuff is just plain nasty, He looks like he may be our closer very soon Will the Marlins send him down??? I guess in Today's MLB it is very possible but as a baseball decision he should not see another second in the minors

Marlins are serious in their pursuit of a trade for Wilson Contreras and they are out on Benintendi ( Which I am very happy about since he hasn't been able to hit for like the last 3 years in a hitter friendly stadium) There is still no word on what Contreras would cost but I believe 2 pitching prospects would be a start We have many arms to offer of which quite a few are close to major league ready

Does anyone else besides me get a woody at the thought of Eddie Rosario in a Marlins uniform BTW the thought of Brinson possibly being DFA would make me cream my shorts

I most certainly believe if it were not for this pandemic instead of talking about the DH there would be conversation going on reference the 2 new expansion franchises and an expansion draft I would love MLB teams in New Orleans and Las Vegas

I am a traditionalist at heart , I love to see pitchers hitting but it is time for the DH to be permanent in both leagues. I however am a proponent of reducing inter-league play. It has watered down the All-Star game and the World Series

I have faith that Baltimore and KC have a hot streak in them giving us the 2nd pick overall

Right now it can be said you can throw in any Little Leaguer from Jose Marti Park and they would not do any worse than Victor Victor. He may not be a bust yet but the Sculptor is just about ready to put away his chisel. [ATTACH]3176._xfImport[/ATTACH]

Acuna would cost Miami Key Biscayne, don't be surprised if they didn't have to throw in Coconut Grove as well

Yes you did

With that same thought would Jeter not be telling Hill who to draft as well except he knows what the hell he is doing

We use to have it before

I grant you the option of signability was always a constraint under Loria but the preference in signing High School kids over players with much higher floors was all Hill, at times it worked most times it didn't . That was not Loria

Loria knows about as much of talent evaluation as Jeter does about Art appraisal, he would not tell Hill who to draft and who to trade for, he may have gotten involved in Free agencies signings to a certain degree but Hill was fielding his own teams and the minors where filled with his talent selections. It wasn't all bad but mostly it was all boring and mediocre

Mike Hill is not making decisions on talent evaluation or trades , He is just rubber stamping these moves. You can tell by this last draft that it did not have Mike Hill's input in any way. They drafted players completely Non-Hill like Unless Mike Hill all of sudden has become someone else as a talent evaluator and all of sudden changed what he looks for in players. Actually if you think about it the Marlins are now more similar in how the Yankees approach the draft, and are much more aggressive and long term focused in what they look for in are trades something that is not Mike Hill like. Maybe we should be giving Hill credit for this transformation, but my better judgement tells me other-wise. Good for Jeter in finding the best way to use Mike Hill

Well at least he know enough to maintain his role as figurehead. He smiles, waves and talks to the media because he sure isn't doing much of anything else for this organization

Looking at our new top 30 by MLB http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2019?list=mia It is impressive how the Jeter organization has infused talent into their minors It has been a complete 180 degrees from the previous regime (We all know that Hill isn't making any of the decisions) BTW Victor Victor has dropped to 14 and I think that is very generous to rate him that high

Let him continue to play everyday for awhile more...but soon...very soon!

These kids the Marlins have traded for have power galore but damn they have so much swing and miss

I don't ever remember seeing a left handed fielding SS That is just weird! Can anyone come up with another Lefty SS? Sorry Some websites have Chisolm batting Left and throwing Left but Baseball Reference has him batting Left and throwing Right now that makes sense to me

Starlin for Thor sounds good to me! Hey the Mets have a Putz for a GM he might go for it...If he insists we can throw in Victor Victor

I know this is the first outing in which he didn't walk anyone and actually had 2 Ks. In 5.1 innings he now has 9 Ks and 7 BBs, and only allowed 2 hits. Obviously still not great numbers but hey I feel like it's comimg back (for the year he has 10 innings 15 Ks and 16 BBs 1 HBP allowed 5 total hits) Another 2 outings like this he should go back to Clinton, maybe even Jupiter. I don't think it's likely he will ever be a frontline starter but surely if he gets his velocity back he could become a nasty reliever

Kolek little by little is getting it back together Anyone know how hard he is throwing now?

Imagine what it would be if we could subtract Chen's sorry ass from the equation

Agreed!

Just for clarification purpose Beinfest drafted Giancarlo and Yelich even though was drafted by Hill most of the legwork was most likely done under Beinfest. To which after that you can see a difference drafting style to which the Marlins seemed to be drafting the same players just with different names
