January 15, 200917 yr Once we get into February I think you will really start to feel Spring Training getting alot closer. Especially since the 1st game is Feb. 26th i believe. I am hoping for 85+ wins.

January 15, 200917 yr Im desperate for ST to come about. A combo of the NFL season winding down and the current boredom of January exams for me is adding to my desire for baseball to return
January 15, 200917 yr Becoming a Heat fan last season has really helped me cope with the off season. It feels as if it was just yesterday that the Marlins bashed the mutts out of contention.
January 15, 200917 yr heres some predictions: Marlins go 94-68, win the division Nolasco and Johnson each get 18+ wins Volstad and Miller 15+ Anibal 12 to 15 Lindstrom over 40 saves, less than 5 blown. Hanley hits over .310, around 35 homers, and close to 40 steals Maybin hits close to 20 or a little more homers, .320 avg, 30 or steals, wins ROY Uggla 34 homers, .285 avg Freddi gets Manager of the Year heres hoping I'm right!

I agree on a dew things The record however is not one of them but it was close i belive we'll win 89 games this season Noly and JJ can however have that many wins i predicted 15 for Noly and 17 for JJ 13 For Volstad 12 for Anibal and 11 for Andrew No way Lindy Gets 40 saves i'll go with 30-35 with 5 blown Hanley could go .310 with 30+ Jacks and 30+ steals Maybin however doubt he hits .320 i'll go for .290-.300 with 15 HR and 30 SB ROTY Uggla will stay and hit .280 with im going 35-40 Homeruns and his 1st 100 RBI season And yes Freddi for Manager of The Year

January 15, 200917 yr idk.. maybe I am biased since we share the same first name or something, but I think Miller is going to be really great this season. I could be wrong.. I know he still has that knee problem (I think it was a knee problem) but I think he's going to be a lot better than last season. he has the potential. there was a couple games where he was just on point and destroying everything.
January 15, 200917 yr No way Lindy Gets 40 saves Why not? A save is a team dependent stat. If he gets over 40 save opportunities...I would hope he can get 40 saves. A "save" isn't as difficult as some people make it out to be.
January 15, 200917 yr I hope that all of these predictions are right. For this to happen it all depends on opportunities and coming through. If the starting pitching can stay healthy and dominate then I believe we have a chance at being really good.

I hope he gets 40 saves too but have you not heard the saying the last out is the hardest one to get haha.
January 15, 200917 yr I know it is but we usually make a comeback and hit a walkoff or beat a team by 5 or 6, but that was lost season im hoping for solid baseball where we score 1 or 2 in the 1st few innings with a starter going 5 or 6 Innings and have the pen being able to hold the lead leading up to a Lindy save. The real main concern is if Lindstrom can stay sharp and mix his pitches up throughout the season and not blow as many saves as Gregg did. He can get 40 but im not really counting on it is what i meant.
January 16, 200917 yr Again, I'm not saying he will...I'm just saying it's very possible. Getting saves is team dependent. It all depends on how many opportunities he gets, and looking at this roster, on paper, it looks like the Marlins are going to be playing close ballgames, when you consider the good pitching...+ some less power in the lineup. There should be some more low scoring games this year, imo. That's my prediction.

There should be some more low scoring games this year, imo. That's my prediction. Ok sounds Legit but the power and production is still gonna be there with Cody projected to be in the starting lineup he should get 20-30 HR and Gaby is a gap to gap hitter so he'll have plenty of doubles hopefully with either RISP or Runners on base period. But your right it is a team dependent stat and from the short sample size with the 5 saves last season he trusts his team on getting outs. Forgot to Post my projected lineup Maybin .290 20 HR 55 RBI 35 SB Baker .300 13 HR 65 RBI Hanley .310 33 HR 95 RBI 30 SB Cantu .285 31 HR 90 RBI 15 SB Uggla .275 36 HR 100 RBI 10 SB Cody .270 25 HR 80 RBI Hermida .290 25 HR 80 RBI 20 SB (Breakout season) Gaby/Dallas .285 15 HR 65 RBI/ .260 28 HR 80 RBI
