Juan has been flat out awesome for us so far. This is as good as he has played in a Marlin uniform.

 

Like many here, I wanted to see him traded for about anything during the offseason yet keeping him on the roster has proven to be a key move early on and at this pace he is certainly making himself worth that paycheck.

 

Props to Enc and let him keep adding up his RBI count and keep helping bring W's. :thumbup :notworthy

I too, was one of the people who wanted Encarnacion traded or benched, whatever to not see him play and "ruin our chances". Hes turned into an RBI machine, and has definetely proved himself. It just goes to show you that you cant judge a player before a season begins. If we had traded Enc, we would have missed out on some runs. Go Encarnacion!

I still think we should trade him now while his value is high. I would hate to see him go playing this well, but i cant believe itll last all year.

I think it can last all year. He certainly has the tools to do extremely well. And the fact that he's become significantly more patient shows that he is likely to maintain this success. If he's swinging at mostly strikes then I think he'll continue to do extremely well.

I hope your right for his sake and the team's sake.

Most of those players are damn good, though.

I told all you guys he was going to be awesome since this was his first year back from shoulder surgery :thumbup .

enc is hitting great right but man it's way to early to start putting up MVP signs and stuff like that. let the man have a great full year then he can start asking for apologies

I'll apologize at the All Star break

I agree.

 

If you he continues to show the patience he has shown so far this season, he will continue to hit well, but I just don't see that happening. Players don't go from free swingers to having good patience over night.

As if anything he has done in three weeks can make up for a career worth of disappointments.

 

That said, go Enc and go Marlins.

a-gon goes on hot streaks all the time, then goes back into endless slumps..

 

its just 3 weeks people.... lets look at his stats when we hit the ASB.

dude, you know its true.... it's a great start, but it would be nice if he can keep this up for a few months

Ya never know

 

The eye surgery seems to have helped more than the shoulder surgery.

Why apologize if he ends up hitting .230 or .240?
