  1. Apparently not a good draft as the #1 pick in that draft Brady Aiken is also in the same league
  2. I would say he's more under the radar, obviously not getting much attention from MLB network or other media outlets, but probably not the most underrated I'd say Jorge Polanco would be in the running for that
  3. Yes, they could do that. There was a year maybe 2012?!? where Stanton was selected but was injured and they just replaced him with someone non-Marlin.
  4. You can add Jumbo Shrimpers Brian Miller, Justin Twine, Robert Dugger and Cody Poteet and then you did!!!
  5. I'm guessing they'll take either Andrew Vaughn or JJ Bleday depending on if they're available, possibly a pitcher like Nick Lodolo, he's really the only pitcher I would take in the top 5. As for last years draft they actually took a player rated in the area of their suggested draft position and then did fairly well in regards to filling organizational needs with their selections at least through the first four rounds. Whomever they get hopefully they're ready soon!
  6. They've been almost as bad as the Astros were from 2011-2014, I don't think many teams in MLB history sucked that bad
  7. No matter how you slice it, I was never a fan of this pick, he was ranked in the 50's and then they took him at #12?!? His numbers in the minors have been solid but all things considered I'd much rather have the pitching the Marlins gave away in trades back than this guy.
  8. I would say add him, but for selfish reasons, he played high school ball at the same school as my son.
  9. I'd say yes to Harrison after June, just in case he's good don't want to start the clock early on arbitration, as for Ramirez or Gallen that'd be a no, those would involve removing someone off the 40 man roster, other than Chen who needs to go
  10. Awesome so Jeter is a genius when the Marlins have the #1 overall pick two years in a row as predicted?!? Will there be anyone left watching the Marlins at the end of that run of bad baseball? I check in on games now through my phone, but I can't tell you the last time I actually made time to watch a game, I really don't look forward to more of the Jeter plan of bad baseball
  11. I don't see how they can say 2003 was an accident. I mean they signed Pudge and picked up Pierre in the off-season, they had at the time an ace in Burnett and it looked like future aces in Penny and Beckett to go along with established starters throughout the infield. It's been awhile but I remember thinking they could contend. Also the video doesn't give Dombrowski enough credit for reassembling and restocking the team after the fire sale, he's the one who picked up Lee, Lowell, Penny and Burnett in trades and drafted or signed Beckett, Castillo, Cabrera and Gonzalez. Beinfest did his part too, but I think Dombrowski put the nucleus of the team together.
  12. Could they move to another team's bullpen?!? This is at least a better place for him maybe he can be a LOOGY, so he can't F it up too bad
  13. Wishing nothing but the best for Hanley, still one of the most electrifying players in Marlins history. Hoping he finds the motivation to be productive again.
  14. Will they use Prado in a utility role? He moved around a lot on the field prior to joining the Marlins.
  15. They're points , not necessarily all good ones, Martinez and Mussina despite what was posted still don't merit what I consider Hall of Fame consideration, they're both very good players just not good enough to be considered among the games very best. To me the Hall is about those players I would pay to watch and want to see, neither of these did this despite lengthy careers in which they failed to hit several of those magic numbers the majority of enshrined players have, I would point out I rarely agree a lot with the voters especially on certain selections over the years or fellow members here on what a Hall of Fame career is, that said your points fail in my estimation to qualify either as Hall worthy. As for Rivera, he truly was great pitcher, but I don't see his value being unanimously better in its value over previous selections for the Hall, especially as these are the same voters that seem to disregard the value of the reliever in as much that the closest in comparison to him Hoffman had to wait three years to be selected and Smith finally goes in, but only by the veterans. I get that someone would eventually be unanimous, but I find it hard to believe the voters chose him, personally would've preferred a position player, but that's my preference.
  16. The voting has become a sham, it's ridiculous that Rivera went in unanimous!!! HOFer sure but a damn reliever to be the first unanimous is crazy. Especially given the voters take on closers making Lee Smith wait to get in through the veterans committee when he was just as dominant a pitcher. Also how the hell are Martinez and Mussina hall worthy??? Neither were the best player on their respective teams, didn't win any awards or hit any magic numbers or win a championship?? I'm not seeing their worthiness. With their inclusion and the veterans adding Baines this is now a Hall of Good Players.
  17. I'm sure whether I go or don't go doesn't really punish them, if season ticket holders walked away that would probably hurt, but short of that the attendance has been traditionally low so even that probably wouldn't have much effect. That said, I really haven't looked at going to any MLB games this season, but will again attend games on the minor league level at Jax, Jupiter and the GCL, I already looked at those schedules!
  18. Usually about two spring training, their series in Tampa and at least one series in Miami, also if the schedule allows I've caught them elsewhere on the road a time or two so averages around 8 or so, that was until last season where I didn't watch them once, no sure what this season holds definitely going out of my way to see them.
  19. He'll probably look like Dandy the old Yankees mascot [ATTACH]2567._xfImport[/ATTACH]
  20. All I'm saying is Livan received a vote and Edgar got two, stranger things have happened, he could get a vote
  21. I think anyone completed 10 seasons in the Majors and has been retired for 5 is included, that said he'll get a few votes, but certainly not enough to keep him on the ballot
  22. He can't hit a free throw, wait wrong Nick Anderson
  23. In just a few years just when they're getting really good the Marlins can then trade the kids for younger prospects
  24. Shout out to Yelich on also winning his first silver slugger too
