January 21, 201016 yr Someone just asked me my question and said they are trying to get me through. My question will be how RVH will be used this season.
January 21, 201016 yr Author Made attempts to keep Gload, multi-year. Donnelly, offered minor league contract. Calero, no contact.
January 21, 201016 yr Author Heading home from work. Someone else feel free to update as they go along. el
January 21, 201016 yr It will be tough for Brett Carroll to break into the starting lineup and profiles as a 4th or 5th OF, but he won't be ruled out. Alfredo would be welcomed back "in a heartbeat" and he left the organization on "super terms"
January 21, 201016 yr Admin emphasized that Uggla is under team control for not only this year, but next year as well.
January 21, 201016 yr Some lady came on and said that she thought the Marlins could have gotten more help at the trade deadline from the FO. She sounded pretty obnoxious but it was pretty funny.
January 21, 201016 yr Marlins aren't going to get a "big" hitter and Admin emphasized the little signings matter, citing Paulino and Amenzega.
January 21, 201016 yr someone ask about Ricky's service time (is '11 his last year of club control or '12)
January 21, 201016 yr Bonifacio is showing improvement in "the short game" and the new first base coach is is going to work with him on baserunning. Jorge's ankle is 100% healthy. Cody's wrist is also healthy. And they are hopeful that Tankersley, who's been at Roger Dean all winter, is through his injury issues. Ryan Tucker is progressing well in his rehab and he will be reporting to Jupiter healthy and could be on the club depending on ST. Jeff Allison is healthy and so is his well-being. He'll start the season in AA. Replacing Ross Gload with a FA wasn't a priority. Jimenez might replace him as a LHB. They also mentioned Darin Erstad and Frank Catalanotto as FA's out there that could fit that role. They haven't tried to "change" Uggla's approach because, while his BA was down and he still stuck out, but his OBP was up.
January 21, 201016 yr This was a pretty cool thing. I wouldn't mind if they did this every month or so.
January 21, 201016 yr this was cool idea we now heard from marlins to see what happen doing offseason we fans could ask them question
January 21, 201016 yr It was interesting how matter of factly they spoke about Cantu at third. Missed the first five minutes or so but I don't think Cantu was mentioned as even in the mix at first, the contest is between Sanchez and Morrison which should make a lot of people here very happy but ultimately one camp disappointed. Sounds like barring an injury or someone significantly underperforming Jimenez and Carroll go to the bench (again barring injury or a meltdown) regardless of what they show in spring training. I certainly appreciated getting the few insights offered but boy we were drowning in cliches after a while. I understand you can't talk about players on other clubs and need to tread carefully with those of your own but it was pretty light on substance after the first round of questions. Not surprising just a bit of a waste of time.
January 22, 201016 yr With me having the last of my exams today, the NFL season winding down, and Spring just around the corner, I'm getting ready for baseball season! All the increased talk during the past week including the JJ contract and lineup chat is starting to get me in the mood for another fun summer of watching the Fish at crazy times in the night/morning
January 22, 201016 yr It will be tough for Brett Carroll to break into the starting lineup and profiles as a 4th or 5th OF, but he won't be ruled out. Alfredo would be welcomed back "in a heartbeat" and he left the organization on "super terms" Dang Please no more Amezaga!
January 22, 201016 yr Beinfest now said straight up that he expects Gaby or Logan to be the first baseman. Don't wanna hear anymore that Logan needs to play triple A Beinfest has spoken!
