I predict these things:

 

1) Marlins starters will churn out more consistent performances and as they do this team will begin to make its run;

 

2) Conine and Bump are going to have a huge hand in the success of this team if there is going to be any success;

 

3) We WILL make the playoffs.

 

There. I stand by those things for this season. I challenge everyone to get in line and make their predictions. Otherwise, I dont want to hear it.

Josh Willingham wins ROY

 

Conine doesnt go past 50rbi at season's end

 

Koch is a top set up dood

 

We win the East

great predictions :thumbup

 

1) Benitez wins relief whatever award.

2) Koch will get better but not back to form.

3) Manzy has great season and becomes a great set-up man.

- We win the division.

We are making the playoffs.

Not worried. Second Half we will step it up and win the division, guarenteed

we kick phily ass all year 19-0 against them this year.

win the east down the stretch late september cause those damn braves and yes phils still close by.

also cabs lowell +40 homers each, conine 35 rbi's all season, gonzo hits 20.

 

yea!!! also pavano 20-5 2.88era

-Miguel Cabrera is going to step up big time during the second half, Ending the Season with 36 HRs and 121 RBIs, 302 Average.

 

-Pierre and Castillo realize the importance of walks and bunting once again

 

-The Bullpen will be solidified from what we have already., 7th inning man - Manzanillo, 8th inning man - Koch, Closer - Benitez.

 

-A bat will be acquired, this bat will be someone with more contact than power, will be seen batting fifth behind Cabrera and Lowell.

 

-We will return to manufacturing runs once again, Bunts,Sac Flys, Sac Bunts, Sac Grounders, 1st inning runs, you name it

 

-The Last series of the season will be the defining series, we will have to watch it from home. Its a 4 game series in philly. Marlins Win the Division

OK, you are all clearly jinxing our baseball team so I'll rectify it with some good ol' cynical predictions!

 

1) We won't win the division or Wildcard, miss the playoffs and finish 3rd behind the Phillies and Mets.

 

2) Manzillio will falter, as will the rest of our bullpen bar Benitez.

 

3) Pavano and only 1 other starter will have a record over .500

 

4) McKeon will continue to forget what won us a world series last year and JP, Luis will only have 10 SB combined the rest of the year.

 

I go on holiday for two weeks to Greece on Friday, I hope this post will jinx all Marlin opponents and I return to hear about a 10-12 game win streak and see us 3 games ahead in the division.

 

Not Bloody Likely!

I predict these things:

 

1) Marlins starters will churn out more consistent performances and as they do this team will begin to make its run;

 

2) Conine and Bump are going to have a huge hand in the success of this team if there is going to be any success;

 

3) We WILL make the playoffs.

According to sum around here, they are! :lol

1. Josh Willingham will be brought up

 

2. The Marlins will trade for a #3 Hitter before the July 31st deadline.

 

3. The Marlins will make the playoffs

 

4. Miguel Cabrera will win All-Star Game MVP on a Walkoff Homerun

1.The MArlins will finish with a winning record

2. Will not make the playoffs

3. People will piss and moan about a winning record and not making the playoffs because if the Marlins don't win it all the team is a failure

Ninety-two wins.

 

 

 

Minimum!

1.) Mike Lowell and Miguel Cabrera will hit another 20+ HR in the second half

2.) Juan Pierre will get 25 more stolen bases

3.) Josh Beckett, Brad Penny and AJ Burnett will go on long winning streaks

4.) Marlins will pick up a bat and reliever before the July 31st deadline

5.) Marlins will win the NL East

 

 

Those are my predictions and I'm sticking to them

 

 

oh and Steve will throw a few more guys out at home :notworthy

that would be a cheap fix for the FO staff....can Cox at 3rd and get rid of Robinson (hitting coach)....anybody have a # on how many have been thrown out at home because of COX? and after this team wide 40+ day hitting slump, the hitting coach needs to go....where is Dawson or better yet, perhaps Darren Daulton as hitting coach

1) We Win the East (and I think everyone knows our history in the playoffs)

2) Cabrera and Lowell will be in MVP voting

3) Castillo and Pierre will continue to improve and become more aggressive on the basepaths

4) Pavano gets 20 wins and the Cy Young

5) Beckett comes back strong and wins 15

1. koch pisses off the marlins world even more.

2. playoffs, yes, not wild card, divisional winners.

3. dontrelle hits for the cycle.

4. beckett has another blister.

5. hee seop choi will not bat higher than 5th. (thank god)

6. brad penny pitches how brad penny really can pitch.

7. castillo & pierre maintain .300+ BA's and base stealing galore. crazy like last year hopefully. zoom zoom zoom. fun stuff.

Here are my bold predictions:

 

 

1. Dontrelle and Cape stop being homers.

 

 

2. Josh Beckett proves 99 % of the board wrong

3. Dontrelle does the Beckett way

4. Koch dominates

5. Josh Willingham becomes starting left fielder

6. Cabrera encroaches on 50 homers

7. Lowell drives in 115 RBIs

8. Choi is in the third spot.

 

 

There you go.

i tried to be as factual as possible.

you really do hate Choi dont you?

 

you're gonna love Willingham :plain

1) Choi is team MVP

2) AJ Burnett doesnt lose a game the rest of the year

3) Livan Hernandez comes back

4) BJ Ryan and Manzy make this pen unbeatable

5) I get into a fight with Wagner at the next Phils-Marlins game.

6) the last series of the season won't matter because we will have clinched and I will be in the face of every stinkin Phillies fan there.

7) we make it back to the Series and lose to Texas.

-Willingham is dominant and plays a key role in our playoff push

- Willis finds his groove and goes on a tear after the ASB

- Penny will stop having these odd encounters with spiders

- Beckett will get rid of Tweeden and start pitching like he did in the 03 post season

- Cabrera and Lowell both hit 40 + HR's

- The bullpen will start being productive

Bill Robinson will be fired by weeks end.

1. Trade for a # 3 hitter

2. Wllingham hits .270 15 hr's 380 obp

3. Pavano goes 19-6 2.83 era

4. Pierre steals 30 + in 2nd half

5. Benitez continues to dominate

6. Lowel , Cabrera 35 + homers

7. Domiate Phillies and Mets

8. Win division
