  1. I'm sure there's been a little bit of structural damage that ownership has known about for awhile now, and he's just been pitching through it. He just threw off a mound the other day with "no issues." I think the 0-7 start to the season was the deciding factor. In what's looking like a lost season, ownership decided that now would be the time for him to have surgery.

    It’s his changeup. It was an elite pitch for him last season. He threw it more than any other pitch, and hitters only hit .146 against it. This year, they’re crushing his change to the tune of a .319 BA.

    It was a shit deal when they signed Avi. The Soler deal was a shit deal when they signed him. Stallings was a shit deal. Segura was a shit deal. Amazed me for years how the Marlins tried to formulate a lineup around a bunch of guys that would be bench bats on contending teams. Numb to it now. Jazz would play in most lineups. Arraez would play. Hard stop. Cooper looks like a good bat in our lineup. He's a platoon bat anywhere else. Rest of the lineup is full of has-beens, utility players, and 4th OF'ers. Roster shit players. Get shit results. The end.

    Sorry to get your hackles up, big dog. You lost me when you led off your list of elite hitting prospects with Brinson. I’m familiar with what the site is now: dick jokes and irrelevant quips to get your post counts up. It wasn’t always this way. Show me actual stats about hitters flopping at a higher rate than pitchers and I’ll retract my post. And I find your comment about Marlins having trouble developing hitters extremely accurate. Which is why I think you really meant to say we should trade the 19 year old pitcher for the fully developed, MLB ready hitting prospect in your initial post.

    And the thing with Walker is the thought that he could be better than Miguel Cabrera??? 2 Sandys don't help this team score more runs.

    This is dumb logic. There are shit tons of high end pitching prospects that don't make the jump. OR lose a season to TJ, and the following season due to building their arm back up.
  7. Which is based off of one statistic. It’s such an empty skill set behind the batting average/contact. He’s like a younger DJ Lemahieu. But worse at baseball. Side note. When I pulled up Arraez’s baseball savant page to check out his 7th percentile hard hit rate and 11th percentile barrel rate, two of his player comps were 2019 Yuli Gurriel and 2021 Yuli Gurriel.
  8. I hate this trade because of how publicly well-known it was that we were going to trade a starting pitcher. Oh. That's not enough? Let's sign Cueto on top of telling everyone we're moving a pitcher. Sweet. Gave up too much leverage. Everyone knew we had to make a move. Sweet. Arraez is a good bat. Not great. Not going to change the trajectory of next year's team. Sweet. Didn't know 2B was a problem. Sweet. Let's play one more guy out of defensive position. Sweet. The improvement to the offense will be negated by the downgrade of Pablo to Cueto. Sweet. Oh, and let's weaken the farm. Sweet. This move is, in no way, shape, or form, a win for the Marlins. A lateral move at best, to "show" the fanbase that we're trying to win. It reeks of desperation. Sweet.
  9. Pulled up his Baseball Reference splits. Hard to make the case that he was bad against just the AL East teams, as the sample sizes are so small. There was a huge disparity in his numbers against sub .500 teams and his numbers against teams with winning records. .96 ERA and .589 WHIP against losing records 8.15 ERA and 2.321 WHIP against teams with winning records His fastball has continued to decrease in velocity over the past few years. And last year, he lost his control. He was still generating swinging strikes in the zone. He just wasn't in the zone, and hitters weren't chasing anymore. His leverage splits suggest maybe there were some mental things going on as well. 1.034 OPS in High Leverage situations compared to .576 and .454 OPS in medium and low leverage situations.
  10. The line of thinking that signing these re-treads is going to do more for the team than giving 450 AB's to one of our 20-something year old minor leaguers, is very neanderthalic.
  11. Please, God, no Joe Maddon. Too much "look at me and all of my outside the box management decisions" and not enough letting the players play. He intentionally walked in a run this season. I'll say it again. He intentionally walked in a run this season. He gave the other team a run for free. The Angels were down 3-2 at the time, and Jenius Joe thought his team's best chance at winning that game, was to walk in a run and put them in a 4-2 hole. What a boob! Also see his handling of Jo Adell at the start of this season. He was platooning Jo Adell on the weak side of his splits. Maddon is just a guy who's managerial successes have come as a result of him latching onto two teams ripe with young talent, and entering their competitive windows. Skip the circus. Baseball is no longer an old man's game. Bring in Espada.
  12. Lock up your wives! Isn’t Avi the same guy who banged Miggy’s wife while they were teammates in Detroit? Seems good for the clubhouse.

  14. Just feel like the general consensus around here is that he’s the best all around hitter on the team. He doesn’t have enough speed to hit lead off. He doesn’t have enough contact to hit 2nd or 3rd on most teams. Not enough power to hit cleanup, so I think most teams would view him more as their #5/#6 hitter in their lineup. His defense is far from elite. And while I realize you can’t have a superstar at every position, I just don’t view him as the franchise building block that many people make him out to be. I think he’s a good baseball player, but that he’s closer to average than superstar.
  15. This is exactly what I’m talking about. Both have EXTREME home/away splits, and both are below average defensively. Yet here we are, forcing two guys that should be platooning with one another, into full time roles. And not only that, we’re trying to cherry pick stats to make them look like a better ball player than they are. Take into consideration that they’re blocking two of the more MLB-ready prospects in the organization, and it’s obvious that they both should be traded.
