Posted September 23, 201014 yr Marlins win 7-5 and back over .500 W: Sanabia (5-3) L: Niese (9-10) S: Hensley (5) 2B: W Helms (10); D Uggla (29); O Martinez (1)
September 23, 201014 yr Love beating down the Mets and winning the season series. I'm going to say this now, If we don't resign Dan Uggla because he wants more money then we want to give him, I'll be pissed as hell! He's done more then enough to earn a wealthy contract and he's on his way to his first 100 rbi season! Also Clay needs to be the closer next year no ifs ands or buts about it.
September 23, 201014 yr And we finish 12-6 vs the Mets. Awesome. That is unacceptable. 2011 better be 18 for 18.

I agree, unless we can make him a starter and has a similar ST as this year.

I agree, unless we can make him a starter and has a similar ST as this year. He's really to valuable to risk moving him to the rotation when we still have guys like West, Volstad, Sanabia, Villanueva and Koehler (then eventually Hand and James)to give a shot to. If they all fail then yeah give Clay a shot but not until then. Everyday Clay for closer or bust!
September 23, 201014 yr I would much rather try Hansley in the rotation as a last-resort only. If we move him into the rotation, how do we replace his spot in the bullpen? Maybe I'm just dumb/stubborn, but I really hate trying to change something that isn't broken (talking about Clay, not the rotation)
September 23, 201014 yr I don't get the "Clay for rotation" thing. He's striking guys out like a madman, but probably because he's able to put all of that crazy nervous energy he has into one innning bursts, allowing him to be far more effective than he would be conserving for multiple innings.
September 23, 201014 yr Because he had past success as a starter pre-injury and now he has better stuff thanks to his new change
September 23, 201014 yr Because he had past success as a starter pre-injury and now he has better stuff thanks to his new change Bring in a real closer. Clay and Leo as set up men. This thread sounds so much like previous years. People going nutso over one guy closing that really isn't a closer, and then the following year complaining that he is a piece of crap. If we don't learn from our past we are destined to repeat it.
September 23, 201014 yr Author I can see the club wanting Ceda to be the close for the future. It's just a matter of when he is ready.
September 23, 201014 yr I would rather have a losing record against the mets and make the playoff or WS,

September 23, 201014 yr No more beating the Mets this season Not many games left and NO MORE spoiling the MUTS "fun" :tissue

If we don't learn from our past we are destined to repeat it. The difference between Clay Hensley and the Gregg, Lindstrom, and Nunez experiments is that Clay Hensley has had a great year, statistically. The others never had one. A good closer is a good reliever, and Clay has been an awesome reliever this year. He's also now 5/5 in save opportunities. He's also pretty cheap, which is a bonus. Who's the "real closer" that you want to bring in, anyway?

September 23, 201014 yr Marlins are offering three years for $25 million . To Uggla? Source please. Yes, please. You never give anything to back up your statements.
