maybe we do need to be a little more patient with the guy. Everyone on here sure got to hating him real fast. He has struggled, no question, but I think with more time he will learn to work out the parts of this game that are lacking right now. He definitely has a lot of up side, if he can continue to improve on his plate discipline and get on base at a clip closer to .350-.400 I think it will benefit the team greatly. His defense is not a big concern, he is learning the position still and I think that will also improve with time. We as fans are quick to judge because we want results immediately , however, the organization obviously sees the potential in him and obviously think he is the best option we have right now for 3B. How about we try and get behind him instead of constantly bashing him, I for one, would love to see him improve and think he could be a great asset to this team.

 

 

 

Personally, I love the optimism in this post. But around here, you're just whistling dixie. :whistle

Right out of Josey Wales... :notworthy

''I think Bonifacio is going to be like another Jose Reyes soon,'' said Texas Rangers All-Star Nelson Cruz, who has played with Bonifacio in the Dominican winter league for the past five years. ``People forget he's just starting. They need to be patient.''

 

Cruz is obviously right... actually, EB will probably be better than Reyes

I agree, they should be patient with Bonifacio. They should let him refine his skills in the minor leagues like every other player that is not yet ready to get the job done at the major league level. I don't question Bonifacio as a young player with upside. I question the Marlins letting him learn on the job when our team is in contention, which in a rare occurence by the way. They need to get someone in there who can produce. They are treating this situation like we are 15 games below .500. It's been half a season, he's had 350 at-bats, we can expect more of the same from Bonifacio going forward.
