September 2, 200620 yr Judging by what has been happening in the last few weeks, Jacobs and especially Hermida need to step aside and let Ross and Helms be in the daily starting line up. Yes, I know that Jacobs and Hermida have great futures, but for now they need to be the bench guys with an occasional start to keep them from getting too rusty and not the other way around. They will have plenty of time to mature into fantastic players........later.
September 2, 200620 yr Hermida I might agree upon, but you want to bench Mike Jacobs? Not cool man. This guy has been one of our main producers. Your right about one thing, it is time to win, but you were wrong about development, we need to continue a development process.
September 2, 200620 yr Jacobs has been great hes almost at 20HR but Hermy isnt lookin to good I say we start playing Helms in RF and Cody in center
September 2, 200620 yr Seems to me the platooning of Jacobs and Helms has worked pretty well so far in a number of ways. First, it gets Jacobs' off his stress fractured ankle late in games, and second, helps ease him into hitting lefties as well as he does righties as his career matures. At the same time, having Helms in defensively is certainly welcome in this camp. The one thing I'd like to see happen, especially now that Willingham is back on track and provide at least a measure of protection to Cabrera, is to see Jacobs return to the third spot (in front of Cabrera) where he flourished in the middle of the season. Maybe Helms can play right field, and my guess he'd do his best at any position he was asked to man, but I wonder if hislack of speed might weaken us defensively. Ross seems to have the speed and eye to play there and perhaps it's time for another patented Cody Ross hot streak at the plate.
September 2, 200620 yr I'm not sure that Helms can play right so i cant really give an opinion on that, but Hermida has been terriable in right. Next year I hope he gets his act together and I think he will....but right now he needs to be benched and Ross/borchord/helms needs to play right.
September 2, 200620 yr Jacobs snapped out of his slump so no need to bench him. Hermida has earned a spot on the bench but I don't think Girardi has any desirable options. Helms in RF could be MLB's slowest OF in many years.

September 2, 200620 yr Helms has experimented in RF before, but nothing too lengthy. Helms played 23 innings in RF in '02. Shawn Green was available and would look good in RF for the Marlins.

I'd like to see that too. :thumbup
September 2, 200620 yr I'd like to see this lineup: SS Ramirez 2B Uggla 3B Cabrera LF Willlingham 1B Jacobs RF Helms C Olivo CF Ross pitcher. that's a pretty good lineup
September 2, 200620 yr I'd like to see this lineup: SS Ramirez 2B Uggla 3B Cabrera LF Willingham 1B Jacobs RF Helms C Olivo CF Ross pitcher. that's a pretty good lineup Very good. But maybe with Amezaga in CF (batting ahead of Olivo). Save Ross for PH duty.
September 2, 200620 yr Author I'd like to see this lineup: SS Ramirez 2B Uggla 3B Cabrera LF Willlingham 1B Jacobs RF Helms C Olivo CF Ross pitcher. that's a pretty good lineup I would like to see: Ramirez Uggla Cabrera Willingham Helms 1B Ross RF Olivo Amezaga CF
September 2, 200620 yr Well since everyone has got one, I'll play along : Ramirez SS Uggla 2B Jacobs 1B (against lefties insert Helms behind Cabrera) Cabrera 3B Willingham LF Ross RF Olivo C Amezaga CF Pitcher
September 2, 200620 yr bench jacobs??????????for wat f***in reason lol thats the stupidest thing ive heard. vs. lefties only. hermida w/e i dont mind not seeing him put how many options do we have for right field? borchard .220, ross .232 abercrombie .lol ....centerfield should be amezaga all the time. could helms play right?

September 2, 200620 yr marlins should put cody in center and amezaga on the bench and let wes play fist everytime a lefty is starting for the opponent cuz amazaga suxs at hitting
September 2, 200620 yr My lineup: CF Amezaga SS Ramirez 2B Uggla 3B Cabrera 1B Helms LF Willingham C Olivo RF Aguila(better than Hermida in RF and he produces the same numbers in the minor leagues as Hermida) Rotation: Willis Johnson Olsen Moehler Sanchez
September 2, 200620 yr I like the idea of Aguila in the outfield. He won't hit for sh*t, but he plays solid defense and has a great arm.
September 3, 200620 yr How about: Batting Order SS- Hanley Ramirez 2B- Dan Uggla LF- Josh Willingham RF- Miguel Cabrera 3B-Wes Helms 1B- Mike Jacobs C- Miguel Olivo CF- Alfredo Amezaga P- ?
