He doesn't have to be everyone's favorite player, but come on Alfredo Amezaga? Justin Miller? I understand they are "scrappy" or whatever nonsense you want to justify it with, but come on.

 

"zomgzies he has tattoos ilu justin"

They aren't they are one or two peoples favorite. Like I said before, sometimes you just see something in a player that you enjoy and connect with.

 

And it wouldn't be so ridiculous if you weren't saying "these are our fans" because the matter of the fact is that if we make it into the playoffs next year you know that suddenly Miguel Cabrera will be EVERYONE's hero in the city of Miami.

I love the implication that anyone who lists Cabrera as their favorite player is somehow less of a fan.

I never said that. I am just saying that I hate your implication that if he isn't your favorite player, you are somehow less of a fan.

Yeah, I fail to see the correlation between why you choose a favorite player, and how much you know about baseball.

 

I rarely like a player purely based off performance, but that doesn't mean I'm going to argue that players I enjoy watching are better baseball players.

I believe it was you who implied that if we do not vote your way we are not fans, You are the one that question our votes.

No, I implied that if you pick Justin Miller over Cabrera, you are not very intelligent, baseball wise. You may be the biggest fan in the world.

 

I was speaking more to the "If we make the playoffs, all these bandwagon fans who aren't really fans will be all like "lolz i love teh cabbiez" and that is dumb so we should like guys who aren't actually good at baseball, just to prove we are real fans".

 

Hell, in that case Barone's my favorite player. Why isn't he listed?

Well if your going to put up a poll about the favorite Marlin shouldn't the entire team be on that list? It's not a vote of best player, it's favorite.

Once again, who your favorite player is has NOTHING to do with who you think the best player is. I didn't pick Mitre because bandwagoners would pick Cabrera, I did it because he seems like a cool guy, plays hard, and looks like a pirate. And I only brought up the bandwagon issue because you pulled that "Our fans are dumb because they don't pick Cabrera" sh*t out of your ass.

 

As to why Barone isn't listed, maybe it's because he still has never played for the Marlins? Or because the great Lee Gardner took his and D-Trains place.

By the way, if you want to pick Fredo or Gardner as your favorite player, by all means do so. I don't really care, it's just kind of odd, is all.

 

It's kind of like the love affair with David Eckstein that the whole world has. I suppose I can sort of understand rooting for an underdog, but, that doesn't change the fact that he's only an underdog because he sucks at what he is paid to do, which is play baseball.

I still fail to see how choosing a favorite player has anything to do with you knowledge of the game.

so no AAAbercrombie?

And oh goody, now mindless Eckstein hate.

 

An average offensive shortstop and, outside of a poor arm that should be at second instead of short, and average deffensive shortstop now makes a player suck because he gets a bunch of media attention.

I had to go with Mitre. The guy kept putting out quality starts and when he didn't get the run support you never heard anything disrespectful out of him. He didn't throw fits, he just kept going out there and performing. My kind of player.

 

Not big on the Pirate look myself though.

I'm convinced Hanley is the greatest human being alive.

Don't call HIM human, that's blasphemy!

 

 

 

I think Hanley's a Jedi too.

Where the hell is mah dawg Hermida on that list? He's still number 1 in my heart.

Don't worry, Mitre's Crew understand that some people dislike the hair, and we respect your right to enjoy the Captain and his performances.

There are lots of reasons to pick Justin Miller as a favorite, including he is an animal out there, very aggressive, give me the ball type, never complains and gets the job done. Hell, give me a team of guys like that.

 

I can pick things on all the guys that make it fun to root for them. Now if the question is what player do I want to build a team around, you might have an arguement. But favorite player is an emotional selection usually having little to do with their stats.

I still fail to see how choosing a favorite player has anything to do with you knowledge of the game.

 

I agree with you; however, the poll question said "based on performance."

Well then, that's two different questions. It's one thing for a guy to be your favorite player and another for who you think has performed the best. Question #1 is an opinion and question #2 can be looked up on baseball-reference.com. Also, I just straight up missed that completely.

Yeah, that's true. Miller is one of the few guys who never complains when he pitches and is a "give me the ball type." I remember one time Renyel Pinto was out in the bullpen, and he was called in and he didn't want to pitch, so Fredi had to literally drag him from the dugout. And then he didn't want the ball. He tried pitching with the rosin bag. I think we can all agree that was an embaressing moment for the team, and we should all be glad Justin Miller is one of the few guys who doesn't do that.

I apologize, please forgive my sin, almighty Hanley.

I did not include Willis because of how he is pitching, just like today. He gave us another loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shadez is da Man!
