May 4, 200422 yr Theres an open spot in Carolina in the OF as both Jim Kavourias and Pat Magness are off to very cold starts.? If we still have Lowell in 2006, Cabrera will move to LF with Hermida playing RF.? Hermida is as hot as any minor leaguer in the game right now and a call-up is likely focus on the now. there likely will not be a Florida Marlins after '06. Team is destined to move. There remains more than a 30 million gap that has to be filled. It's sad but big time baseball is on the outs in south Florida. Ummm I'm pretty sure they have said they can begin construction without the 30 million gap and try to go to the state next year, earlier and more prepared. no one is beginning construction without complete financing. why do you people honestly think they are going to go back to the state next year? every year it is the same story, no one wants to do what it takes to build a stadium. and if this ownership pays more out of its own pocket, the stadium won't matter because they will be broke when it comes to signing players. they're very close to being gone. when they move, the market can only blame itself.
May 4, 200422 yr anyway... I like Hermida...but the guy you really got to keep your eye on is Chris Aguila. This guy is kind of a dark horse and I think will be a very good MLBer some day. I also am intrigued with Eric Reed...not the Heat announcer either. I think the future is very bright for the Marlins... How old is Chris Aguila now? Isn't he like 26? And still in AA? Or am I thinking of someone else.

Ok now you shutup. The Padres started there stadium without complete funding. Florida Legislatures have said that next year is a definite possibility for the stadium rebate, just too late this year to make much of a factor in the session.

I think the future is very bright for the Marlins... where is eric reed going to play? you already have them trading pierre? aguila doesn't have near the upside of hermida. when the marlins are in vegas, portland, nashville or wherever they will move to, those fans can appreciate guys like hermida.

I also am intrigued with Eric Reed...not the Heat announcer either. I think the future is very bright for the Marlins... Reed is probably the best fielder in the system as well as the fastest. And so far he's hitting the snot outta the ball. He's hitting .356 with 14 SB's so far but he has only 5 walks so far and 27 strikeouts in 101 AB's.

Anyway, Repeatin04, I understand you bitter at the state but come on, everyone who knows baseball, knows that there are a couple of teams ahead of Marlins for relocation. You just don't give up on a market like there is down here. Teams ahead for relocation: Expos Twins (If there stadium deal falls through) Don't give me this Las Vegas crap, a major league team could never survive there. A team needs a season-ticket base and Las Vegas does not provide a good season-ticket holder place. Portland will not have the a team as well as Nashville.

May 4, 200422 yr the #s arent great since the park doesnt hold much. Capacity: 9,334 Vegas can support a MLB team.
May 4, 200422 yr Could another starting spot open up in 2006? JP's bound to lose a step nearing thirty (he'll turn 29 in 2006). I could see Eric Reed jumping ahead of Ambres and Aguila by then. And where does this leave Jason Stokes? Along with Josh Willingham he's the most advanced batter we have in the minors, but he doesn't have the upside as Hermida. He's already blocked at first by the Korean sensation. In left he'd be out of place and nothing more than a stopgap.

May 4, 200422 yr A team in Las Vegas seems werid. Imagine The Las Vegas Marlins sounds stupid :thumbdown

He's already blocked at first by the Korean sensation. In left he'd be out of place and nothing more than a stopgap. Exactly. JP's contract is up in '06 and probably will command very good money. We will be moving into our new digs then and if Reed can continue to pan out, could be our starting CF in '07. But that is a long way down the road.
