  1. Great moves. The FO needs to stop picking up these washed up players, they never perform to what they want to believe. It's as if the FO wants to show the rest of the league how smart they are by signing Randy Wolf or Miguel Tejada. ENough is enough, let the young guys play. Please drop Furcal now and and bring back Deitrich
  2. Why does everyone keep wondering who will be playing third base? It sure as hell won't be Solano. Probably because there's no one in the organization capable of playing it short-term.Yup Moran is a good year away at least. Need to sign somebody or stuck with the Dietrich/Solano platoon of goodness No need for a platoon, Dietrich seems to hit lefties OK.Wow, I was actually about to attempt to statistically refute that last line, but you're not wrong! Looking at the stats, he was actually abysmal against righties. He hit righties fine until he hit that slump. I'm really not as worried as everyone else seems to be. Such a stupid signing. This team is run by a bunch of idiots I actually really like the signing. This team was really missing someone that is capable of batting second behind Yelich, and Furcal is really a perfect fit. Not to mention watching Hech and Furcal turn two will be fun to watch.I would much rather see Solano or Dietrich. Just seems like a waste of money. Doesn't really make us much better
  3. Such a stupid signing. This team is run by a bunch of idiots
  4. This really is embarassing. That fat piece of shit has no idea how to run a franchise. What other team in MLB has a promotion for the family of the other teams pitcher. It gets harder every day to root for this franchise, we are seriously considered the most ridiculous team in baseball.
  5. And we may not have gotten Marisnick, or Nicolino, or DeSclafani... All whom look pretty damn good. No one is saying that we wouldn't get those prospects, what I'm saying is we could get more like someone instead of Escobar or Mathis. Is this really that difficult to understand
  6. The Rockies package might have been better, but we can't say for sure that the prospects would have actually been worth paying the $5+ million left on Nolasco's salary. It's not like any names were ever thrown around. Eh. No excuse IMO if this is true about Rockies prospects being better. Based on the pretty dismal return the Marlins got from the Dodgers, don't you think that the return from the Rockies would have needed to be considerably better to justify spending $5-6 million for the players? If you are going to spend that much money on prospects, the talent needs to be pretty damn good. I'd agree with what your saying except for 2 things, our payroll is 36MM, it's not like we couldn't throw some extra money around for better prospects. Secondly, fat piece of s*** does this with every single trade from Hanley to the Blue Jays dumping. He is a cheap disgusting piece of s*** that doesn't care about this team at all The Hanley trade brought us Eovaldi, which was pretty solid IMO. The Blue Jays trade brought us Marisnick, Nicolino, and DeSclafani. They probably make up 3 of our top 4 prospects at this exact moment. Both of those deals were clear salary dumps of decent players (excluding Reyes, who is excellent) with BAD contracts. The fact we got that much talent back is mind boggling. I bet if fat piece of shit put up some money in the Blue Jays deal we could have gotten Travis D'arnaud

  8. I'll be pretty pissed if his salary was the difference between "good" prospects from col and this haul from LA It obviously was, but I doubt Colorado's offer was filled with top 10 prospect players in return. We took the meh offer from the team that would take Nolasco's contract. Not exactly a shocking revelation. I'd still love to see with the Rockies offered.. If that cheap c*ck suckin piece of sh*t Loria sacrificed talent for $ again, I think my head is going to blow. Why can't that fat piece of f*ckin horse sh*t get hit by a car already. I would love to see a fat piece of f***in horse s*** suck a cock. Actually, I know just the website. SI is reporting that Rockies package was better. How the fuck does Selig let this shit continue. That fat piece of garbage claims it has nothing to do with money, but every time he trades someone, he makes sure to get the other team to pick up the salary. The Dodgers could have have given the Marlins the beer vendor and the janitor for Nolasco if they were willing to throw in another couple million more. He is such a slimey piece of shit
  9. I agree with this article 100%. This has been my approach this year, I hope they keep losing and I hope fans don't come out to the games. It's so hard to like this team and hate the owner at the same time. For those saying Loria won't sell, I agree, but the hope is that Selig will force him out. WIth this brand new stadium and fans not showing up it looks very bad for MLB. This guy has done far worse things and has tranished MLB much worse than McCourt. Obviously Selig and Loria are buddies, but at some point Selig HAS to pull the plug. This whole thing is a PR nightmare. The only way to get the Marlins back is to get rid of Loria. Can't stand that fat piece of shit
  10. Would much rather see a change in ownership
  11. This ownership is to blame. They are full of sh*t and they deserve to have this team taken away from them. They have no money for a stadium: yet they are one of the most profitable teams in baseball The want to win with pitching and defense: Let's start the season with 3 players playing out of the natural positions Bonifacio in center, LoMo in left, Hanley at 3rd and then surround them with mediocre defensive pieces They trade away some expensive players, yet its not a fire sale This organization is a joke
  12. Loria and the wet rat are pieces of sh*t. This is a salary dump all the way. If those assholes were willing to eat some of that contract they could have gotten a much better return. I wish they would sell the team
  13. This has to be a joke. That is the worst looking logo. No one will ever take us seriosuly
  14. 1B Sanchez, 2B Infante, SS Hanley.... give em Osvaldo or Dominguez + Nunez + Nolasco. f***it. ZACK GREINKE It's funny that some people think that this is what it would take to get Grienke. Grienke's trade value is similar to what Justin Upton's would've been. He's one of the best pitchers in baseball. The only one of those guys that KC would take is Dominguez...maybe Ozzie Martinez as the last piece to a trade. Nunez and Nolasco do nothing for them. except for they need pitching. you act like Nolasco is some scrub and KC doesn't completely regret the Nunez trade You act like Nolasco is a prospect, and that Nunez isn't going to make 4 million in 2011...to not even be their best reliever. They want to trade Grienke because they're a non-contender. Non-contenders don't want to take players like that with high salaries; for that they'd just keep Grienke. If the Marlins don't have to give up Stanton for Grienke, they'd have to give up Morrison+. My thoughts exactly. There is no way in hell that just giving up Nolasco and Nunez would get Grienke. I bet anything that Stanton's name was involved. You are talking about one of the best pitchers in baseball. The Royals are looking for prospects. Nolasco and Nunez would have went to 3rd team, prospects come to us and we send those prospects + our own prospects to Royals
  15. Awesome. Two of the best players in baseball, Josh & Hanley, locked up for the coming years. This is great

  17. Finally got around to ordering my Bill James Handbook. During my initial perusal something jumped out at me -- a positive stat on Emilio Bonifacio! Bonifacio took a lot of criticism last season for his low on-base percentage and inconsistent defense at third base. Actually, manager Fredi Gonzalez and the front office took the brunt of the heat for keeping Bonifacio in the lineup and in the majors. The manufactured runs section of the Bill James Handbook offers a pretty good indication of why the Marlins stuck with Bonifacio, and why come spring training they'll give him every opportunity to play himself into the starting lineup again. Among National League players, only Michael Bourn (47) had a higher manufactured runs contribution than Bonifacio (32), who ranked ahead of David Wright (31), Dexter Fowler (29), Troy Tulowitzki (27), Matt Kemp (27) and Hanley Ramirez (27). James has comprehensive criteria for what constitute manufactured runs, but in a nutshell it's "any run on which two of the four bases result from from doing something other than playing station-to-station baseball." Anything involving a home run, or in most cases an extra-base hit, does not qualify as a manufactured run. Anything involving an infield hit, bunt, steal, sac fly or other productive out generally contribute to manufactured runs. Thanks mostly to Bonifacio, Ramirez, and Chris Coghlan, who was third on the team with 21 manufactured runs, the Marlins ranked fifth in the NL with 169 manufactured runs. Ahead of them: the Mets (181), Reds (173), Dodgers ( 172) and Rockies (172). For the Marlins, that's a huge improvement over 2008, when they finished second-to-last in the majors with 125 manufactured runs, ahead of only the Padres (104). The Marlins in 2009 were considerably less dependent on home runs and extra-base hits. Back to Bonifacio...he played his first game for Licey in the Dominican winter league on Nov. 6. Through nine games, he's 11 for 37 (.297) with no extra-base hits, three RBI, eight runs scored and a .333 on-base percentage. He's playing right field of all places. Some other winter league notes: Gaby Sanchez has played three games for Dean Treanor's Toros del Este. He's 2 for 9 so far. One of his teammates is minor leaguer Manny Mayorson, who through 21 games is among the league's hitting leaders with a .321 average (26 for 81). In his first start for Carolina in the Puerto Rican winter league, Rick VandenHurk got a no decision after allowing a run on three hits with no walks and five strikeouts through five innings. http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_baseball_marlins/2009/11/florida-marlins-hope-for-emilio-bonifacio.html This is pretty interesting. Makes me believe there was some reason why they stuck with him for so long

  19. I'm glad he didn't get it, because if Jeter got it in the AL this award is complete BS and must be going to the worst fielder not the best
  20. PLEASE NO. The guy is a racist and the epitome of clubhouse poison I never got the "he's a racist" thing. Has he ever said anything negative about a person of another color, because of their skin color? Has he ever said anything that implied he was superior because of his skin color? Most people point to him calling Jeter "not all the way black" but that is taken completely out of context. He was not being offensive towards Jeter being a mulatto. He believed that blacks were treated differently than whites by Torre, and said that Jeter didn't fall under that category because he is a mulatto (and, if I didn't know he was a mulatto and I assume this goes for most people, I wouldn't think he had black in him). Of coarse people will then say "he saying that blacks are treated differently, that's racism!" But that is not racism. Racism is when one thinks they are superior because of their skin color. What he's portraying is not superiority but a faux since of prejudice felt upon him. However he has misplaced the discrimination onto his skin color rather than realizing it was because of his poor play and inability to stay on the field. That is not racism, that is ignorance most likely accrued because of the way America was when he grew up (and still partly is today). That, or Torre is a racist. There's also the comment about Latin's being easier to control. Again, not racism. He was not saying "Latin's are a inferior race" or anything like that. It has to do with the living conditions that most Latin American's live under. I doubt I need to go into detail of all the problems in the D-R. Which again, has nothing to do with race. Let's put it this way: if it were whites in the D-R instead of Latins, he believes the problem would still be there, because there is such a wanting to get off the island and to a few that only choice is by playing baseball. You can say that his assumptions/beliefs/whatever you want to call them are wrong. That it's all faux prejudice that goes on in his head. But they're not racist. Being based off skin color does not make something racist. Racism is a sense of superiority over another race. I really don't want to turn this thread into a discussion of race in America, but think of it this way, if Joe Torre had said Latin players are easier to control, that's why I like them, he'd be labeled a racist and banned from baseball. Sheffield is a useless idiot and a RACIST. To get back on topic, Sheffield would be a disaster on this team, he has always been a selfish player that cared only about his next payday
  21. PLEASE NO. The guy is a racist and the epitome of clubhouse poison
  22. Ok so Trahern is gone, del cruz is gone, Rabelo is useless, Badenhop has been so-so, we really need Maybin and Miller to kick ass
