July 29, 201016 yr Cool I guess...he hasn't really had a bad career as a bench player. He actually started a fair amount on SL, although he never got full season at-bats. But his numbers are definitely solid for an infielder, he's got enough pop in his bat to contribute some big hits.
July 29, 201016 yr Solid Bench Bat. I expect Boni and Wes to split time at 3rd with Lo Mo getting the everyday job in LF.
July 29, 201016 yr i think if you start boni you might lose what you have in him now. hes been doing well off the bench so leave it there. helms does well starting and so does luna. playing boni more now wouldnt make sense.

That really doesn't make sense, you will lose the hot streak he's been on if you don't play him consistently not if you bench him and hope he does well whenever we need him later on.

July 29, 201016 yr Solid Bench Bat. I expect Boni and Wes to split time at 3rd with Lo Mo getting the everyday job in LF. Luna will start. Edwin saw Boni and Luna at AAA and Luna was much better. BTW so was Murphy. Boni is a reserve and an outfield reserve at that.

Well the fact that he only has 2 Hits off the bench as a PH doesn't help along with him hitting .413 as a starter. He should be starting the way he's been playing.

I mean if he starts a game every week or two yeah that's fine but now way he starts full time.

July 29, 201016 yr This isn't really worth a debate. It's like debating between diahrrea and constipation. Our real 3B (Coghlan) is injured; whoever fills in for him (be it Bonifaciout, Murphy, Hector Moon, or Aunty Wes) is going to be a below average 3B. I could care less, really. The team is not really in contention, and I just wanted to get rid of Cantu, already. The positive to take out of the situation if you're still interested in this year is that no matter who takes over the 3B position...he'll be better than Cantu, defensively.

I mean if he starts a game every week or two yeah that's fine but now way he starts full time. We shall see. Helms is a career backup. He could not handle his several chances at being a regular over his years in the bigs. We saw Boni at third last year. A disaster. He can't play in the infield and certainly not at third.

With Morrison in left and Uggla staying, Cogs only real roster spot is at third and there must be a reason why the Marlins moved him from third in the minors. Cogs being a long term solution for the Marlins is no lock.
July 30, 201016 yr Whoever can glove it at the hot corner is all I care about. If thats Luna, then by all means give him the starts.

July 30, 201016 yr Well if anything, Uggla at 3B/Coghlan at 2B. This is all until Dominguez is ready, anyway.

Now c'mon Mr Wad-in-the-pants, don't be so glum. :no This could be the spark that we need to get us going and into the playoffs ! :thumbup :cheers
July 30, 201016 yr Did ya'll miss the Joe Capozzi bit where he said Cogs is gonna play 3B when he returns? I think it's great they're gonna give him a shot, a least.

July 30, 201016 yr Did ya'll miss the Joe Capozzi bit where he said Cogs is gonna play 3B when he returns? I think it's great they're gonna give him a shot, a least. Well if he comes back this season where else is going to play? Lo Mo in LF, Uggla at 2nd, Might as well put Cogs at 3rd, he's played there before, should have the range and looks like he does have the arm. With a bunch of practice in the offseason and spring I feel like Chris could be an above average fielding 3rd baseman. As for the current 3rd base situation. I really don't care, you get slightly above average defense from Helms, average defense from Boni and average to below average defense from Luna but offensively we get average contributions from Helms, pretty average offense from Boni with the speed advantage and what should be average to above average offense from Luna. Give whoever a shot I don't really care, they should be hitting 7th or 8th in the lineup anyways.
