They are where they are as a result of perennial suckage. Way...to...go... Matt Moore - selected in 8th round Wade Davis - selected in 3rd round Jake McGee - selected in 5th round Desmond Jennings - selected in 10th round They do have several top 3 picks as well, not going to debate that but how many top 3 picks made by other teams failed miserably thus far? To name a few from the past decade - Greg Reynolds, Jeff Clement, Matt Bush. Having a top 3 pick does not guarantee picking the right player. They are definitely doing things right in Tampa.

What will happen is all home pregame shows will be on site at Marlins Park and Jeff Conine will be the analyst. For all road games, the pregame show will originate from a studio and that is where Preston Wilson and Cliff Floyd will be the analysts. Are you specualting or do you know this for a fact?

He's not doing anything wrong, as far as I know. If he got the news out before the official Marlins page, then more power to him. Everything that I've seen him post has been factual thus far, so ... eh. *shrug* Yeah except for the whole description that says official on the left hand side. He just copies stuff from other reports and presents it as the Marlins saying it

From the Miami Marlins Facebook page: Miami Marlins ARBITRATION UPDATE: Anibal Sanchez has won his arbitration case against the Marlins. Will earn $8 million this season. Marlins had offered $6.9 million. That's not the Marlins, it's a kid who is claiming that is the official page. While it is a fact that Sanchez won his arbitration case, it's important people know that account is just parading around as the Marlins. Hopefully the Marlins see it because it can't be legal to do what he is doing. He just picked up the news from other reports. Their official one is http://www.facebook.com/Marlins

He's a moron! He's nice to those who he gets stuff out of... Completely RUDE and FULL of himself like he's someone. He's no Rich or Tommy. Weeelllll....I wouldn't go as far as to call Him a moron, but the rest is pretty much true from what I've gathered from my own and others' experiences. Especially the full of Himself part. I refused an interview with Him one time when he saw my tat and He acted like He couldn't believe I would turn Him down. He just sat down next to me and told me he was going to interview me like it was some kind of life changing experience for me to talk with Him. He stomped off when I told him to send Frank over if they wanted to talk to me. Not that I'm important or anything, just that I can't stand the guy. He first or second year here He was interviewing other teams' players and putting them down in disblief that they actually went ice fishing. Acting like He never heard of such a thing and they were just making it all up to mess with HIM. Gimme a break, the guy went to SU. Ice fishing is a normal way of life in that part of the country. Met Rich and Tommy many times. Both seem to be nice guys and easy to talk to. You were the one rude to him, why should he take that with a smile?

I wonder if they physically rolled out a red carpet or not. http://twitter.com/#!/FakeSamson/status/141273187303436290

Is the Rookie of the Year award offensive to the new members?

Apparently they're in love with the Astros uniforms from the 80's. They just decided to take it a step further and make it even more hideous. Seeing as the uniforms haven't even be released (or leaked for that matter) yet, it's impressive that you are already able to criticize them.

the way the FO is approaching this entire problem of attendance, interest, and growing our fan base is very Floridian. You know what would get people to games? Winning. And how do you win? By signing great players The 2011 Red Sox agree. Oh wait

Brad Hand vs Ross Detwiler

Chris Volstad vs Stephen Strasburg

Javier Vazquez vs John Lannan

Are you eating paint? That's his release from the Braves, which is completely irrelevant. We are talking about his release from the Marlins. Read the post I orginally replied to. So...the braves release Wes Helms; they're a model franchise. We release Mike Cameron; we're a bunch of jerks that nobody will ever sign with. Got it! Helms requested his release. But feel free to continue your schtick.

There is no way in hell that Helms requested his own release. There is nothing out there to support that. It's purely made up. http://blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-braves-blog/2011/09/01/braves-release-helms-welcome-two-call-ups/?cxntfid=blogs_atlanta_braves_blog

My pet peeve is people who continually ruin threads with their personal vendettas

They are trying. Broadcasters notice it, scouts have mentioned it. Most people can see it with their own eyes. They are running out grounders, making hustle catches and you can see they are into the games completely. The losses are NOT due to lack of effort and I have seen no players quit.

I hate when people say the reason for losses is lack of intensity. They are hustling and trying, that's clear as day. When people say that, it's as if they think all a team needs to do is "show intensity" and they'd go 162-0.

thanks for the analysis, I didn't know much about the guys we got back and this helped

Chase seems like a good guy. Thanks Chase

Good luck RVH, nice to learn more about you.

bobbob and marlins2003, i have been lurking many threads and you two constantly go at each other. meet up, whip them out, measure and be done with this endless fued already. nobody else here gives a crap so please stop filling every thread with the garbage

You're right, the team doesn't suck. Some of the "fans" do though.

I read it, Lou read it, many people read it an we all understood what he meant. It was indeed implied. I understood it as individual and not combined
