WTF?

 

I guess Valentine learned just what a dysfunctional mess this team truly is.

Can anyone say AMATEURS?

 

The FO hasn't executed things well this season.

WHOA......Valentine didn't even get interviewed in South Florida??:confused

If they didn't hire him bc of the $1MM buyout it will be way too funny.

I'd probably die laughing.

No but seriously I'd probably die.

Loria realized no manager can fix this mess so we might as well stick with Edwin? Loria has to fix it by spending some money on a competent bullpen and bench. Or Beinfest has to fix it by securing some good talent by trading our proven players. Me thinks Beinfest will be given the task.

 

Still, this is disappointing.

 

 

That turned out really great the last time didn't it ? Great, now we'll see if Beinfest is that "above average" GM or not some here think he is (just because he made one great trade 5 years ago).

Its almost laughable. I want to see people defend Loria on this one.

Interesting.

 

I don't think this makes our team more of a joke or the FO more incompetent, it just makes this season a little more disappointing that it seems nothing breaks our way (not that Bobby V would have made a big difference, it just once again what is expected does not line up with what actually happens).

Maybin and Miller were touted as superb prospects when we traded for them. It didn't work out. Not every trade is going to work. It only sucks because it was Cabrera that was traded.

 

And Beinfest is a good GM. He drafts well (at least in the later rounds) and is generally good at finding cheap, young talent. He got us Uggla and all those bullpen guys that worked out for us over the years. He got us Cody and Cantu. He got us Paulino. This year has just been unlucky in regards to the bench and bullpen. Trades are win some, lose some. Beinfest is good at the smaller trades (Ross, Paulino).

I can't wait to see the reasoning...

Its almost laughable. I want to see people defend Loria on this one.

 

 

Since at this point we don't know why talks broke down or Bobby V didn't want to take over, anything is possible. Maybe Bobby V caught the Black Plague and didn't want to infect the team (knowing that if anyone got sick, the bench was not strong enough to replace the usual starters). So Loria may not be to blame for Bobby V not coming here. Other things we already know about, you can lay the blame at his feet if you want, but for now, at this moment, it could simply be that Bobby V did not want to manage again.

And your new manager...Bo Porter!

Hey, at least everyone would get to go home earlier, whether or not the situation calls for it!

 

(I never tire of Bo Porter jokes)

lol, I just read that article.

Tracy Ringosbly has an article on FoxSports on how perfect is Bobby V for the Marlins. Also stated although Loria wanted Freddi fired in the postseason it was members of his staff (FO??) who talked him out of it. The article states"Valentine also will provide a test of patience for club president of baseball operations Admin Beinfest and general manager Michael Hill. His firing by the Mets stemmed from challenges with the front office, and twice he was fired in Japan — after a one-year tour in 1995, and then again in 2009 after his second tenure ." Sounds to me there is a strong possibility the same group talked Loria out of Valentine.

 

Maybe it will be Rodriguez leading the Marlins. At least he knows the organization (short- and long-term goals) and some of the players because they playted under him. But it still doesn't mean I wouldn't rather want some strong manager to put some order in this fiasco of this team.

Lol, what aspect of this team isn't a joke? I bet our new stadium's held together by plywood and duct-tape.

And your new manager...Bo Porter!

 

 

lol, I just read that article.

 

There's an article to this??????? I was just messing around with that. I do know he interviewed along with Edwin and Bobby, although I thought they would just be sham interviews to appease the baseball version of the "Rooney Rule".

 

 

Seriously, if Bo Porter becomes our permanent manager, I'm not going to another Marlins game live until they let him go. I will not root for a team that is under the leadership of Bo Porter.

It's not a full article on Porter, but it's an article on Hanley's sadness on Fredi's firing. In the article it talks about Valentine (of our interest) and that we interviewed Porter for the job.

He was interviewed for the job, but people say it was just to meet one of these stupid race quotas that are all the rage now

Your just joking that Bo Porter is the new manager, right??

Wow, how the hell did this come about? For months we've been hearing Valentines name circling about and now that they finally have the opportunity to get him it's blown? The full report should be interesting to say the least.

 

I suppose we let Edwin finish off this disaster of a season, trade off Uggla, Cantu, Ross, maybe Helms and Nunez near the deadline and start fresh next year, again.

I just want our next manager to have previous managerial experience. I am tired of bringing him coaches who have to learn on the fly.

Could be good news as far as I'm concerned, depends on who they wind up with.

You don't think McKeon is coming back to year's end??

Here's the full article by Heyman. So far the reason as to why negotiations ended is unknown.
