Marlins R #1

Apparently Super 2 eligabilty will happen around June 10th. Do you think Yelich will be brought up in mid-June or will the team wait? I personally think hes brought up as soon as Super 2 starts.

Made this move so when Diaz comes off DL that Brown can just be DFA'd

Nick Green will b back up don't worry :/ Valekia's been holding 2nd down surprisingly well.

Yelich to 1B, Ozuna to LF and leave Stanton in RF. Pretty sure Yelich came out of high school as a 1st Baseman / Outfielder while I dont think Stanton has ever played a lick of infield in his life. Stanton being in the lineup is obviously contingent upon him not being traded. If he is traded I hope its for, at the minimum, a 3rd Baseman, 2nd Baseman and Pitching. Im still not sold on Dietrich as a long term MLBer. I hope he's not though because I cant stand to think we'd lose Miggy and Stanton (2 of the purist hitters of the modern era) within 6 years of each other.

Dobbs to 3rd, Polanco to 2nd, Mahoney to 1st?

Yessssss

Cant believe it hasn't been considered yet.... LEFT HANDED BAT OFF THE BENCH hahahah!!

Just put up 4 different interior view cameras to see the construction from within. These camera angles give you a better idea of how the ballpark is taking shape IMO. http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/fla/ballpark/webcam.jsp

OMG, thank you so much for these! I'm in g-ville and can't see anything . Also, do you think *crossing my fingers* that those teal polls in the front mean something regarding the colors???? :whistle I think those are left over from the Orange Bowl from the Dolphin days

I would prefer: LF Coghlan CF Maybin SS Ramirez 3B Cantu C Baker 2B Uggla 1B Sanchez/Morrison RF Ross P Pitcher

Why is Tucker down to 1 option if he was never called up this year? He was brought up in '08 but not '09 so shouldn't he still have 2? It's not a matter of being called up to the majors for options. An option is used when a player is on the 40 man roster, but not on the 25 man roster. So him not being brought up is exactly why is option was used. Tucker was placed on the 40 man roster during 08, so his first option was used then. So, since he never saw ML team for us, we had him optioned in the minors for the entire 09 year. Ahh thanks for the clean up Nny. That makes much more sense.

JOHNSONS DEALING!

Closer by committee

You don't fix something that's not broken :thumbup

Damn, shot me down with one post lol. I guess I missed he wasn't arbitration eligible anymore. And your probably right with the prospects.

There's no rumors floating around or even speculation right now that this may even have the ability to happen. I was just wondering to myself after seeing a picture of Freddy Sanchez on MLB.com if the Pirates would have the guts to send him packing this year, just as they did with McClouth, for a few prospects. The Marlin's farm system is top 5 in the league, we need a third baseman which is a position Freddy can play, and he's relatively cheap (im pretty sure he still has arbitration years left). Anyone think the front office would make such a bold move or could pry him away from the Pirates? Maybe for a package of Ryan Tucker, Aaron Thompson and a B level position player not named Morrison, Stanton or Maybin? God knows the Pirates need pitchin.

Just my opinion, but I don't think we should ever trade for someone from Colorado. Juan Pierre?

Think about this...... We said the same thing about Miguel Cabrera and look what happened. We got one elite prospect, an above average pitcher and 4 nobodies AND we included Willis in the deal. Cabrera hasn't even hit his prime yet!

Why don't the Mets just sign Adam Dunn haha

On MLB Hot Stove. What are ur thoughts? I think Dontrelle's best option would be to find a new home away from Detroit. Just looks like he was never comfortable there and in additon I believe the Red Sox pitching coaches and staff would be great for Dontrelle. http://mlb.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?mid=200811173682298

I do not see why we don't pursue a guy like Rocco Baldelli. Seems like the perfect Cantu-like scenario. He is talented, just inury-prone. He would be a low-priced option. He can't play everyday anyway. He has a form of Muscular Dystrophy called Mitochondrial Myopathy (atleast that's the strong rumor). He can run at full speed for very long. He's not what the Marlins should be looking for. That's true but didn't they cure it few months before the Postseason started? I thought he was over it and was on medication.

world series: Red Sox vs Dodgers "Manny goes back to Boston" Dont forget about Torre

Jeff Conine for a third time anyone :shifty

1) Amezaga/Ross CF 2) Baker C (Very high OBP, makes contact and low strike out rate) 3) Ramirez SS 4) Willingham LF 5) Cantu 3B 6) Uggla 2b 7) Hermida RF 8) Jacobs 1B 9) Pitcher sorry to tell u, but unless ur name is Russel Martin no catcher bats 1st or 2nd Very tru. Nothing permenent though. Just an idea to shake and bake things up a bit lol :cool
