he nearly missed 2 homers yesterday, plus he got a hit. do u think he is coming back, we really gotta find out bbefore the year's over :blink:

nice of him to start showing up

His swing certainly is improved. Perhaps because the pressure is off?

doesnt matter much now does it?

 

I wonder if he'll tease us with the good ol' "too little too late" routine...

If you notice Mike is back in his crouch again, the same one that led to a .322 average in July. Nothing is ever that simple but yes he seems to be making better contact the last 10 games or so.

he has certainly improved his swing but it may be a little to late.

talk about showing up late for the party. hate to break it to you mikey but the whole team is drunk and passed out on the floor already.

they said that the reason why he had a weird suky season this year is because he tried getting out of his routine that would have gotten him his 25 homers and 95 rbi's this year and we would probaly have a 5 game lead in the W.C. right now. he tried going from a pull hitter to a hitter that hits it right more often, now he is just saying what the hell lets just pull everything now, and its workin.. i think, if he could of pulled those two balls that died on the warning track last night just about 5 more feet, we would have won :chair

I just hope that he can go back to being mikey next year. If he hits 20 hrs and 80 rbis at the least, there is no stopping the fish.

And where are we going to put him? Cabrera has made a few stellar plays at 3B over the past week. The one play he made on the line last night with just an arrow to 1B was impressive. I'll go as far as saying I think Cabrera gets to the ball that Giles hit past Lowell last night to start the 8th inning rally. Had Cabrera stayed at 3B the inning could have been much different. Cabrera appears to have better range, and definitely has a better arm than Lowell.

We are gonna put him where he has always played, 3rd base. He is a much more experienced player at that position than Cabs, even if the latter has a better arm and range, and I have my doubts about him having more range than Mike. A few spectacular plays do not make him a GG candidate, not saying that he might not become a very good 3rd baseman. But if Mike goes back to his old form, the marlins better find a spot for him cuz they will need his production. So Cabs back in left, and right field will be taken over by either Niner or Hermida.

From what he's shown us, I believe Cabrera is ready to take over at 3B. No doubt we can find another LFer for less than the $9M Lowell is due next year who would give us equal production.

Well unless we can find that allusive Left fielder who will produce, we'll have to keep Lowell. I do know that we can't go with two rookies in the outfield (Hermida/Willingham), but perhaps we oughta give them a shot if Niner retires or whatnot.

What about Lowell for Bradley? We move JP to LF. Bradley takes over in CF. Hermida in right.

Just a thought or speculation. Remember Mikey had the cancer situation before. Does anyone think that there may have been something that reoccured and Mikey kept private? I mean maybe he was getting some treatment (Radiation for example) and may have played the entire season well below full strength.

 

Just a thought.

Why Bradley? He has a history of being in trouble with the law, and he seems like he's always getting suspended for something. Regardless of his ability as a player, having a guy like him around doesn't really help the public's opinion of the players on the team (see Albert Belle with any team he played for; I went to one of his games as an Oriole in Baltimore, and he was booed by his home crowd on an average night just like Raffy after his steroid suspension). Do we really want his baggage? I'd rather just let one of the young guys (Aguila or Willingham) join JP and Hermida in the outfield.

 

Conine's played well enough that to me, he looks like he has another year in him.

There's no way the media don't pick up on that.

I think lowell should stay on the team next year. The problem is if we try to move him we're not going to get anything good in return b/c of his struggles. However, with reduced pressure on him he may be able to perform better next season. We cant automatically assume hes done. This years team with a good mike would have made it to the playoffs IMO. Give him the offseason to rest and give him another chance.

I just hope that he can go back to being mikey next year. If he hits 20 hrs and 80 rbis at the least, there is no stopping the fish.

JP to LF. LOL right with his girly ass arm.

I SAY LOWEL STAYS :thumbup

If you get a good offer, take it.

 

Lowell is not a $8.5M player and we have Cabrera to play 3B.
