  1. What is the point of this article? Did a guy with 14 employees really think he could clean a stadium? Really? Seriously? Of course he would have to hire more staff, etc. The box suite to me was irrelevant. He didn't operate a business big enough to supply the team's needs. Plain and simple to me but whatever.
  2. Yeah, Worthless might be of value now on that team. I'm not going to say they'll win it though. Still have to dethrone the Phillies. Plus will Strasburg make it through the season? They are in the same boat with the Marlins and JJ.
  3. I guess when I see the logo I feel like it's really stretched. Kindof like when you watch SD on a widescreen TV. But I've gotten used to it and it's better than anything I could ever come up with.
  4. He didn't look the same after his injury last year. Did he ever really come back from that injury? Maybe that's why they let him go. I feel like the Marlins are going to keep Oviedo....
  5. Yeah, that TOTALLY shows he wants out of Miami. Where is this stuff coming from? He's going to be fine. He is going to be a monster again. Pressure will be off. That is the key. Loosen up again.
  6. reality is...we ARE a playoff team provided JJ actually stays healthy and Hanley returns to some semblence of his usual self. You have to keep in mind there's an extra WC now as well. I don't think the fish are quite done yet but I HIGHLY doubt they get Fielder. Maybe they'll go after an Edwin Jackson or a Wandy Rodriguez. Gaby isn't a bad guy to have at first base - we can't have superstars at every position. As with almost every team there's uncertainty in each season. I can almost guarantee they will make the playoffs if everyone sticks to their normal level of performance and remains healthy. This team is good enough to accomplish that because they were doing just that last season until the injuries started piling up and this team is better than last years version. To me the wildcard in all of this is Bonifacio - is he for real? He certainly played at a high level for the second half of the season and proved it wasn't just a hot stretch however we've seen that act before (Coghlan). Some of the ESPN talking heads are saying he's a terrible CF. I fail to see how exactly he plays a terrible CF. He obviously has the wheels to track any ball down and he has a surprisingly strong arm for a little guy. I'm guessing these guys, particularly Keith Law didn't really watch many marlins games. I think Hanley has to be as much a wild card. How does learning a new position affect your ability to bounce back from batting sub .250? He was injured all of last season. If he is healthy his bat will be back to normal. The only issue he's going to have with the position change is fielding it. Yeah, it's not as if he's just this great defender either. He might actually be improved at 3B. Who knows
  7. Good piece. Yes, I think what we got was for the best. At least we have a stop gap with both Reyes and Buehrle. If JJ gets hurt there is another consistent arm to pick up the slack again. Javier was that at the end of the year. Reyes covers up for Hanley. If Reyes gets hurt we can move him to SS. If Hanley gets hurt, Boni can play 3B. At least we have more options and the sky won't automatically fall.
  8. I still want Gio too but I don't think we should break the bank on that. I'd rather keep Gaby than get Fielder. rather keep Gaby? huh? we can trade Gaby for pitching after getting Fielder, you want another year of Volstad? I know that we could trade him for pitching. I just happen to like Gaby better. Yes, he's not better offensively but he improved defensively last year. No reason to give a long huge contract to Fielder when you can get buy with Gaby. And Volstad started to improve the last part of the season and is a decent #5. If not you go with elsewhere in the organization.

  10. Buehrle is more of a veteran. He's proven it more. Yes, he's starting to tail it off but he's got a better track record.
  11. Yeah, but we got good players that we really NEEDED. It was a good signing period for the Marlins.
  12. I think if the team doesn't sign CJ they are done with the big names. I don't think they're going to go after Cespedes much. They'll give Cogs one more shot.
  13. What? Nolasco has a lot of value. He's been pretty consistent and has been pretty durable. Granted he got hurt last year for a while but they aren't shipping him for Z. Z will come because they let go of his ass and he's trying to just make a team!
  14. Yeah but who cares about cogs. If he falters they'll find someone else.
  15. Why the hate on Gaby? He made the All-Star team. He wasn't that bad. He's solid. Defensively he really improved. Doesn't make sense. If we get CJ we are done other than maybe some typical Marlin conservative moves. Wouldn't be surprised to see Zambrano on a minor league deal, etc.
  16. I've checked out of ESPN for a few years now. I do watch some of the actual games (NFL, MLB, NBA) on the channel but never any Sportcenter, Sports Reporters, etc. The radio side for the most part sucks as well. I guess I became more turned off over the years on how they treated and labeled the Marlins. I'm so tired of hearing them bash the Marlins year after year. How the Marlins not spend money? This evening (12/7) decided I'd turn on ESPN for coverage of any signings the Marlins made. The top of the hour Sportcenter radio crap. Well, right after Sportcenter update (this was around 6PM ET) these two knuckleheads come on and start talking about the Marlins. I've never heard such crap in my life! Talking about how could anyone be a Marlins fan?!? They trade all their players! Sure, they win a championships but they dismantle the team! They never spend the money and now they are? Why would you care as a fan?! I literally wanted to slap them silly! Of course they had to talk about how the Yankees and Red Sox haven't signed anyone! Freaking Eastern Sports Network! Talk about trying to ruin one of the best offseasons/days for a Marlins fan! These are times to be excited about! And ESPN is so biased they choke on their own babble...so what is it ESPN? First you bitch they don't spend money, so now they do and you bitch?! I guess I know you'll always hate the Marlins and it looks like you now even hate Marlins fans! ESPN can suck it.
  17. Sign Buehrle AND Wilson, trade for Gio, then I won't give a sh*t about Pujols. Nah, get Beuhrle or Wilson and trade for Gio. We don't need all three.
  18. I still don't want Prince, btw. Although I guess if we sign him, I'll enjoy Stanton and him hitting bombs from an entertainment standpoint. Absolutely!
  19. I really would like to Vazquez back but it just ain't gonna happen.
  20. Honestly, if they really wanted him they should've given him 10/250 million with the no trade clause waived after 5 years. Don't you think that would've got it done? I think he's worth 25 million a year in the baseball world.
  21. Pujols was totally using us. Can you blame him? It took the Marlins to make the Cards realize they were going to lose him. So it looks like they gave into his demands anyway....says a lot about the Cards though. So he wanted the Cards more than they wanted him. yeah and they knew it. It was just a formality really. He just needed them to up the money and the Marlins helped him out. He should tank every game we play them now.
  22. Pujols was totally using us. Can you blame him? It took the Marlins to make the Cards realize they were going to lose him. So it looks like they gave into his demands anyway....says a lot about the Cards though.
  23. If we don't get Pujols at least we got Reyes. And the contract is actually pretty nice. Good job FO! I say wait it out for all the other players. I think the next splash will be via trade.
