December 9, 200520 yr Tony Kornheiser- under Dan Le Batard- over silly stuff but I figured I would post it
December 9, 200520 yr People have been taking a dump on the Marlins since 1993. Why should it change now?
December 9, 200520 yr I hear even after ALL the trades/etc that Bodog.com has the Marlins 45-1 to wind the Series....and the Orioles at 60-1......both are ridiculous.....Fish should be 150-1 to wint the Series and the O's maybe 75-1 :mischief2 75 win team????? They won 83 games last year with a starting rotation and a catcher!
December 9, 200520 yr 75 win team????? They won 83 games last year with a starting rotation and a catcher! But without a third-baseman (Lowell stunk up the place) a short-stop, middle relief or any pitching of consistent quality outside of Beckett and Willis. Honestly, a bunch of kids giving a crap can't do much worse than we did last year. The only place we're going to be hurt is the bullpen, other than that I don't think we're a historically bad team, just a young team that will be much better in September than it was in April.
December 9, 200520 yr I think this team probably wins around 75 games. Wouldn't be surprised if they finished at .500.
December 9, 200520 yr Next season will be more fun than last season... I can just about guarantee that. Or I guess should say, 'in my opinion'. Last season was just awful.
December 10, 200520 yr Are we doing our win predictions now? If so, I've got them penciled in at 64. We should wait until we have completed our roster. :lol
December 10, 200520 yr If you guys think they will win over 70 games this year with all the young guys then why all the general pessimism? That's mighty good for a team this young, and there is no reason to not go watch the games. I would say we don't win more than 60. I'll still watch the games, but losing over 100 at this point is realistic IMO.
December 10, 200520 yr I don't think there's any doubt we drop 100 games, but I seem to be in the minority. I see somewhere around 50-55 wins. If forced to predict, I'll go with 52.
December 10, 200520 yr I didn't think there was any doubt Mabdul was going to say we were going to lose 100
December 10, 200520 yr I didn't think there was any doubt Mabdul was going to say we were going to lose 100 :lol
December 10, 200520 yr 60 games !?! I hope that's the under/over in Vegas - barring Dontrelle blowing out his arm and Cabrera going insane, that's easy money
December 10, 200520 yr The marlins will win 65-70 games , it is good to stay positive but how many teams with 6-7 rookie position players , and between 3-4 rookie starting pitchers have finished at 500, not too mention a bullpen of rookies
December 10, 200520 yr We're going to be just below 60 wins this season, something like 58 wins total, barring divine intervention.
December 10, 200520 yr I believe we will win over 60 games. We have tons of talent on this team... but it is going to take about 2 months for it to show
December 10, 200520 yr We're going to be just below 60 wins this season, something like 58 wins total, barring divine intervention. Go Gators !
December 10, 200520 yr 70 wins would have been more interesting. I think they're a 75 win team. if you think this team can win 70+ games then you need to get your head checked :whistle 1-no proven players beside willis and cabrera 2-no proven or rookie manager 3-no bullpen 4-no real catcher*no hating on willy but his defense stinks nomatter how u slice it* 5-jacobs at 1st base with no backup vs LHP?conine comes to mind perhaps julio franco,he just signed 6- injuries 7-bunch of good talented minor league players who always dont pan out and the list goes on yeah you are going to say they are young and are eager to play in the majors but take in to account that as rookie as they are,they'll make alot of mistakes trying to do too much and last but not least we play within our division arond 72-76 times and all of these teams have improved in the offseason over 100 loses is more real
December 10, 200520 yr Ok heres the possible lineup next year 1.Reed's seem to have the best chance since we have NO more hitting prospects above AA 2.Hermida 3.Cabs 4.Jacobs 5.Willingham 6.Hanley 7.Andino(2B) why not who else can play it 8.LF IDK Pitching Rotation 1.Dontrelle Willis 2. Jason Vargas 3.Scott Olsen 4. Josh Johnson 5. Nic Ungs/Brian Moehler???? Bullpen Closer Chris Resop/Scott Boyer Setup see above 7th inning Randy Messenger This team is just not good enough remember we HAVE to play the Mets, braves, Phillies and Nats 19 times a year thats 76 games against teams that are either slightly or much better at this point so lets say we win 35 of those which is way to high we still are 5 games out of .500 with 80 sum more games to go Im hoping that they can avoid 100 losses past that I really dont know
