Juan C. Rodriguez �@JCRMarlinsbeat 5m Some #Marlins players hearing Ozuna has a torn ligament in left thumb. Likely headed to MLB DL, not AA Jax.

Go root for the Rays then. I like how Ozuna, Yelich, and Marisnick will all have considerable Major League experience going into spring training next year.

Hatcher is on his way out right??? Completely useless....Maybe he should convert back to catcher.

RHP J. Turner -- 2009 1st Round pick LHP J. Nicolino -- 2010 2nd Round pick RHP J. Fernandez -- 2011 1st Round pick LHP A. Conley -- 2011 2nd Round pick LHP A. Heaney -- 2012 1st Round pick Plus: RHP N. Eovaldi, RHP A. DeSclafani, RHP H. Alvarez, And don't forget about the three young pitchers the Marlins just took early in the 2013 draft: LHP Matt Krook, RHP Trevor Williams, RHP Colby Suggs Me likey.

At least those that were too young to remember the 1998 Marlins now have their own version to be ashamed of.

He shouldn't but there are less deserving recent hall of famers like Rice, Perez and Dawson so compared to them maybe he should be in. Lol... Andre Dawson doesn't belong in the HOF? I hope you are joking....if not, please refrain from posting again.

Has anyone ever stopped and thought that no one goes to the games simply because baseball is just too boring? If you are talking about a team as bad as the Marlins were at the end of last year, how can you expect people to pay money to be bored? Granted, I had a grand ole time each of the half dozen or so times I drove down to the new ballpark last year. But I am a baseball nut. For the everyday casual baseball fan in Miami (and South Florida), how could you expect them to pay money to go sit around and be bored? They can just stay at home, kick on the game in HD, and save their money.

He hasn't hit better than .246 in any of the last four years. He's not "young" anymore. At 28, I don't see BJ Upton getting much better, if at all. It is easy to see both his homers (bigger ballpark) and steals (getting older) begin to reduce over his tenure in Atlanta.

Goodbye, BJ. Good luck in Atlanta. At least he's still in the southeast. Atlanta getting a star on the rise. Lol he had a .298 OBP last year.

The addition of Perry Hill brings more credibility to the idea the Maelins are focusing in on defense right now. It just occurred to me that we traded away one of the best defensive prospects in baseball (Matt Dominguez) for half a season of fat @ss Carlos Lee. This move is looking more and more foolish if the team is indeed going "all-in" on defense.

Goodbye, Stanton. If Stanton is gone.....why the f*** would any of us still care about the Marlins????

2013 Fish lineup at this time C : Branlty / Mathis 1B : LoMo 2B : Solano 3B : Hechavarria SS : Escobar LF : Ruggiano CF : Marisnick? / Yellich? RF : Stanton Rotation 1. Nolasco 2. Turner 3. Eovaldi 4. Alvarez 5. Nicolino? Fernandez? Pretty sure we'll see Gorkys in CF opening day Nolasco is surely next to go.

With all the holes this team has it would have been nice to have a "super" utility-man like Bonifacio to confidently plug in at almost any position. It's a joke that because Boni is arbitration eligible he had to be included in the deal. Ok, so they traded Johnson, Reyes, and Beurhle in a massive salary dump.... why push the dagger even further by throwing in one of the more exciting (and still affordable) players that remained on the team???? Jeeez.....Frustrating in many ways.

Hopefully he'll go beyond the 5th inning next year and possibly see a call up at some point. Exciting prospect none the less. I think that is more likely to be Yelich's timetable. Yelich will start 2013 at AA and is a candidate to be brought to the big club as soon as the All-Star break IMO. It's unclear whether Fernandez will begin 2013 in Jupiter or Jacksonville, but never the less will be in AA at some point next sason. It seems likely Fenandez will finish 2013 in Jacksonville, with a geat shot to make the big club out of spring training (but more likely June-July) 2014.

Mordecai!!!! Into the gap!!!!!

I was pleasantly surprised by this new skin. I like the font and layout much better.

This dude is one of the worst pitchers in baseball. Yet his spot in rotation hasn't been questioned all season.

I Don't care what he is owed next year. As long as he is pitching for the Marlins, the team will go nowhere. I'd rather see ANY of our minor league guys than this POS.

It was a mistake for both Showtime and the Marlins to agree to do he show. Even if the Marlins were still in contention, the fact remains that we are one of the least popular teams in MLB. Due to this, viewership was Always going to be an issue. No one cares about some lame "prank" the relief pitchers play on each other. That was actually the worst episode of The Franchise I have seen Out of both seasons.

This is just a general comment, but the Turner/Eovaldi acquisitions show just how little the Marlins seem to give a f*** about advanced #'s. They acquire young players based on stuff and tools and apparently, they judge players using batting average and RBI's (and I'm guessing ERA for pitchers). No wonder this team sucks. So you don't like Turner??? You could always find a new team to root for..... It would be a relief for all of us.

Hanley's words on "The Franchise" were more than comical.... "I hit .340 one year, so I guess these people expected me to hit .350 the next year, then .360 and .370." This guy just doesn't get it. To him, It's always everyone else's fault except Hanley.

I'm sure Gaby won't be a Pirate for long. They'll soon realize how little he helps a ball club.

I'm wearing my Ramirez jersey to the game on Friday. yikes...you still go to the games? just kidding...sort of.

We are currently sellers, and rightfully so. At best this offseason (like last year) we are going to throw money at some aging guys who have plenty of downside. I think its time to stand back and see that this team is inept from the ownership to the front office to the clubhouse.
