Let's trade this near 26 year old, future Casey Kotchman.Trade him together with Jeremy Hermida.Then trade Maybin and Uggla.TIME TO IMPROVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

Can we trade you for another poster?

The Marlins delay Maybin's arbitration (super 2 status to be exact) 1 full season if he's kept down about 25-30 more days.

 

 

 

What? I thought the deadline was somewhere in July.

The july deadline was for an extra year of service time

 

The August deadline is to keep him from being super 2, or in other words, to keep him from having an extra year of arbitration. We have him for 6 more years, the question is do we pay him arbitration for 4 years or 3 years.

 

if we don't call him up

 

'10-'12: he makes the minimum

13-15: he makes arbitration

 

if we call him up

 

'10-'11: he makes the minimum

12-15: he makes arbitration

Oh ok, I understand. But, does it really matter if he starts arbitration in 2012? That's when our stadium opens up and our payroll increases.

3 mil is 3 mil. Having more money is always a good thing regardless of what your payroll is. 3 mil gets us a good RP, hell if the market stays the same way it gets us a good corner bat.

 

Also he will make more in arbitration from 13-15 if he is a super 2.

Sanchez is on the bench tonight if he's there at all.

 

Anyone know if he's actually in San Diego, or traveling to meet the team? Bonifacio is your starting third baseman although Gaby is listed on the 25 man roster.

Its about time, i would kind of rather have Maybin though

What they need to do is shake up the team, get rid of pitching and hitting coaches, even the manager and stop the expressway between aaa and the majors.

 

 

 

so 4.5 back of wild card and we should just stop and start over? im sure glad your not running this team because you have no clue what your talking about

 

Sorry, I forgot i'm dealing with the expert of baseball,

If you are smarter than me in baseball, it means nothing to me, i don't make a living beings smart in baseball.

ok

Hate to disappoint all you Emilio Bonifacio haters, but Gaby Sanchez's arrival doesn't mean less playing time for the much maligned third baseman. Manager Fredi Gonzalez shot down the notion of a platoon, which wouldn't work anyway since the switch-hitting Bonifacio is better from the right side, which happens to be Sanchez's only side. Sanchez will get his fill of pinch-hitting duty....

Fail.

God, it's so dumb.

 

First off, boner is not better from the right side, it's an aberration this year.

 

And secondly what's the f***ing point of bringing him up to sit on the bench? Why not give boner a few days off and see if gaby looks comfortable? How much do we stand to lose?

Really 2003? Is that why articles keep coming out about our giant hole at 3B and questioning our FO's decision?

 

EDIT: Well, looks like the post in question has disappeared.

My post has also been editted.

 

I suppose it could be seen as trolling, but it's not since it was directly referring to something he's said numerous times with regards to the conversation at hand.

I agree. I don't know why we'd bring him up just to have him sit on the bench. He was in line for a starting job heading into spring training....how can we tell if he's going to be part of the future of this team if he gets an at-bat once every four games?

Really, Fredi Gonzalez is a complete douchebag.

That seems a tad harsh.

It's not fredi's decision, I garauntee you that.

 

I don't think i've heard one person associated with this team say they were even a lite dissapointed with his play.

Because as soon as I posted it I said to myself nothing good would come from having done so and I deleted it. It's called self-censorship.

How? If it is his decision to play Bonifacio over anyone that could be more productive than him, he should be criticized.

The Marlins are giving me an ulcer. Meh!

 

Like we need another pinch hitter? Okay, so the FO is in love with Boni and it's obvious, unless he tweaks something, that the dude is not coming out of the line up. We get it, fine. I'll just try to go to my happy place when I see him in the line up.

 

BUT... Uggs is up and down. Cantu is having his own issues (I think dudeman is exhausted cause he's been playing since the WBC.).

 

Anyway, Plug Gaby at 3rd for a few games.

Bring BC to play right,

Herms at left,

CC at second and

Gload/Helms at 1st.

 

I realize it's a psychotic but, at this point in time, I really don't care. Uggs, if you stick to statistics, isn't going to have a good second half. (You never know but...let's stick with what we know), Boni, I don't have a problem with him, I think he could be pretty alright but, what's the point for all of that speed if you can't get on base and once you do, you get caught stealing? I could totally excuse his errors at third if he would just produce offensively a bit more. I am wondering when his love fest will end? Perhaps in spring training when he still doesn't produce?

 

And Cantu, I think, needs a bit of a break.

 

As for our batting issues how many people think it's the batting coach? I realize he's got a lot to deal with considering that our crew, this year, doens't seem to make adjustments. But, seriously, how many called three strikes are you gonna let pass by?

Really, Fredi Gonzalez is a complete douchebag.

 

 

 

 

Harsh but true. I think he needs to fire up the team. He seems a little too laid back for my taste. And stop listening to the FO.

Sanchez is the next Mike Lowell.

 

In fact, he will be better than Bonafacio if given the chance.

Mikey Lowell had alot more pop in his bat and his defense was worlds better.
