Don't know if anyone saw it...but Gammons says that if Maybin can contribute next year as he thinks he can...the Marlins should be the favorites in '09 with a rotation led by Nolasco, Johnson, Volstad, and Miller.

 

He said that in those words, basically.

 

Also...he mentioned Cody Ross moving to RF (not Hermida :blink: )...as well as the Marlins increasing their payroll, a little bit.

i dont care whether its right or its left field but i want cody ross out there next year......with a solid start he can be 25 plus homers and 80 plus rbi

when did he say this

I want cody too along with uggs.

when did he say this

 

About an hour ago on ESPN.

Guys, if we're gonna win, it won't be with Cody. I know it hurts knowing how awesome it is to hear chants of CODY CODY CODY at the games, but this is the truth. He is replaceable. There are better players out there.

Add me to that list.

 

I want Cody to start next year.

I watched it, and I believe he didn't call us the favorites, but said there was a POSSIBILITY that Maybin could make the marlins a serious contender for a title next year. He didn't even want to sound like he was predicting anything, because god knows nobody on ESPN can say the marlins will win anything, all he said was that we have a CHANCE of becoming a contender

Oh yeah, I would also like Cody in right, I believe the FO has finally given up on Hermida, and will probably look for a LF'er via trade, and if they can't, will put Raynor there or more likely keep Willingham for another year

Far more chance of Hermida being in the starting OF next year than Willingham,

Huh? Of course there are better players out there, will we get them? Umm NO.... so Cody is the best option.

 

Anyways good to see our pitching staff is getting recognition... it will be a interesting 09.

Jeez i said the Same exact thing except for Moving Cody to LF and No body Listens but Now some old guy on TV Says it and everyone Praises him. What Up WIth That

 

The Fish are gonna be seriosus Playoff Contenders as long as we stay healthy and add a little help to our Bench and Pen

MrMarlinpride that is how the cookie crumbles. That is why I have stopped with my predictions.

 

 

get a clue. lol

I just hope they can keep most of their roster. If thats the case, then I will feel real good about next season.

eliminating the metz for two consecutive years should be a nice confidence booster for 2009....I also want to see Cody being a regular next year

Cody Ross earned a starting gig next year. As a result, either Willingham or Hermida most likely played their last game as a Florida Marlin today.

I wouldn't be surprised if both of them are gone next year (along with Jake) in a trade that brings in a LF replacement and/or more pitching.

Along with Cody starting in either LF/RF. Would love to have Gonzo and Helms back!! I know noone gives them credit but they have a part in what the Marlins did this season.. According to what i read/heard, Helms would get on guys who would not run, practice hard etc! Thats the kind of leader we need!

I wouldn't mind them keeping Gonzo, but I would rather they either start him or platoon him in LF. He never seemed to be (IMO) that successful of a PH.

Can't wait! Countdown to April 6th is ON.

Helms is 100% gone. The Marlins won't pick up his enormous option to be a bench player, and that means they cannot resign him until May 1st. He will easily find work on someone's bench during the offseason.

We need to keep Uggla, Ross, Amezega, Nolasco and Johnson. Willingham, Hermida, and Jacobs are the guys that need to go in order to keep the payroll down. I'm not sure if McPherson is under contract for another year, but I would like to see him take Jacobs spot at 1B (or Cantu can move to first and McPherson play third). All I know is that it's going to be a very interesting offseason. In Beinfest I trust. Go Fish!!

I didn't know about that May 1st thing. Bah. He would have been great on our bench.

Actually, I watched it and what I heard was that if Maybin starts in centerfield next year and with our pitching, the Marlins would be the team to beat in the East.

Yeah, I also heard him call us the team to beat.
