cornfield won't be happy until our rotation is Sanabia, James, Koehler, Allison, Kaminska.

 

Dude, how could you leave out Nic Ungs?

Is he even still with the organization?

Sanabia is really raw and not ready. Statistical dominance in AA doesn't always, and really not usually, translate to success in the bigs. Volstad was a MUCH better prospect than Sanabia in AA. I've told you a billion times, go look at Yusmeiro Petits AA stats. Learn about minor league baseball and player development before demanding everyone in the minors should jump our major leaguers. Also, learn about the 40 man roster and why that's additionally problematic.

 

Jhan Marinez. That is who is next.

 

Lou and I frequently disagree in area of players readiness for the majors if it were up to Lou Stanton would not be showing his face on a Marlins roster til opening day of the new staduim in 2012

However I agree with Lou 100% on this one Sanabia still has a lot to show before he is ML ready, I love what he is showing now but he has a long way to go

I don't think that's true.

So, you are telling me that 1) the Marlins don't need to get better or 2) you are comfortable with Volstad and Nolasco?

 

Actually, I'm very comfortable with Volstad right now, and I personally believe Nolasco is going to get back on track here soon. The only starter right now that I don't much care for is Robertson, and for a #5, he has not that big a consern for me. I am definately more worried about our BP. Wish there was someone in there that I would feel comfortable with for the middle innings, like the '09 Hopper.

I think thats a little strong too. I do think Lou is more on the conservitive side when it comes to promoting prospects than the marlins FO though.

That's false. The only thing he said was that he thought the Marlins should've considered sending Stanton to AAA for a bit.

Hey, at least this guy isnt wanting the Marlins to bring in John Burkett or Jae Seo.

 

Except that guy was kidding.

 

On an unrelated note, you seemed to have picked the wrong time to put The American Dragon as your sig.

Good job team for handling collateral matters.

 

Eddie, I have no problem with Stanton up. He earned it and it is AFTER the Super2 deadline. I would have preferred him in AAA for a month though starting early/mid May and not those extra 25 games in AA,, but I wanted him up for interleague at least so we could get that extra bat for the DH. And if he sticks, he sticks. So far so good, but he's going to whiff a ton. I am concerned about that once the scouting reports get out on him. I think that is very fair.

Back to earlier in the thread regarding Nolasco, I am really suprised how poorly he is pitching of late considering the fact he basically knows that with a good 2010 season he would secure a multi-year contract with us (well at least an offer of one)

I know Lou but going into the season our conversation was of a different nature. I made my comment a bit toungue in cheek because if anyone said a June callup was feasible in April you probably would have said he was too young and needed seasoning in Triple A. I respect that in you Lou. My contention has always been if a player is ready he is ready...BTW no matter what Stanton was gonna strike out quite a bit, but sooner rather than later those strikeout will start going down

Sure, but I don't think anyone was expecting a 1.200 OPS or whatever it ended up being in AA over 2 months. That changes things. That just doesn't happen.

The reason he was called up in June was because of the ridiculous #'s he put up in AA. He's only 20; if you actually predicted he'd be that good, you're awesome. Not too many guys have done what Stanton did this year in AA.
