What should the Marlins do at 2B?

 

I would like to see Andino get the job, seeing its likely now that Han-Ram will be our SS. Why Andino b/c I want to see him up with the big club and not down in the minors. Andino as of right now will be sent down to AAA to get a bats. Uggla will be the starter at 2B as of right now, but I'd put him on the bench and start Andino. JMO

 

Starting 5?

 

Willis, Vargas, Olsen, Johnson, and.....Ricky Nolasco. Yes Ricky Nolasco the kid deserves it. Moehler didn't lose it. Its just if your going to go with a youth movement then Ricky deserve to start. Hey if Olsen or Ricky struggle throw Moehler back into the rotation. JMO

 

LF?

 

If Reggie Abercrombie is your CF then go look for a LF, if not you need a CF(leadoff hitter)

 

 

One last thing do I feel the organization will make a move? YES

Eh, might as well see what Uggla can do against big league pitching as the power is (at least to me) tempting. Although, I will say this, Andino sure does remind me a lot of Ron Belliard. If he's going to move to second base, I think he needs some time in the minors to get used to the position switch.

Anything that keeps Moehler out of the rotation. Just kidding...wait, no I'm not.

Not sure if I disagree or even understand you, but if Abercrombie's on the squad, then Hanley becomes the leadoff hitter by default. I think the one thing the Marlins teams of the past 5 years have done to us as fans is lead us to overrate speed and think that is the only measure of a successful leadoff hitter. I'd like to see OBP and speed like the 2000-2002 Castillo, but if given one of the two, I'd take OBP, and anyone who disagrees need only look at the 2005 Marlins and their inability to score runs despite having one of the 3 fastest men in baseball at the top of the order. So I guess what I'm saying is that there are 4 options for the leadoff spot (Hanley, Hermida, Abercrombie and Willingham) that offer either speed or OBP, and with Hermida probably the greatest mixture of the two, but I doubt he's put at leadoff.
