December 13, 201114 yr Author I don't fully agree with im as to the motivation behind the moves, but I do agree we still have holes in the rotation.
December 13, 201114 yr What a joke of an article. So many assumptions and jumped-to conclusions. And if this is better than the 08-09 teams, as he says, then they would win more than 85 games. And, if there's a 2nd wildcard this year, and maybe even without it, that will be right in the mix.
December 13, 201114 yr Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, Anibal Sanchez, Ricky Nolasco, Chris Volstad = questionable. Tim Hudson, Tommy Hanson, Brandon Beachy, Mike Minor, Randall Delgado/Julio Teheran = championship.
December 13, 201114 yr Isn't there a second wild card this year? That's what I thought, at least. I thought they were still deciding to implement it this year or the following season, 2013.
December 13, 201114 yr It is this non-pursuit of Fielder, in the end, that confirmed for this writer the need to call into question the sincerity associated with the Marlins offseason strategy. and there we go. Jose Reyes, Mark Buerhle, Heath Bell = big whoop. No Prince Fielder = SAME OLD MARLINS I QUESTION THEIR SINCERETY!!! what a buffoon.
December 13, 201114 yr Author No one is taking this seriously, its an internet discussion board and this blog writer's opinion is shared by several other people I've spoken to. Therefore worth posting. I agree that our current rotation is not better than the Phillies or even the Braves.
December 13, 201114 yr I don't know what type of money / years Carlos Beltran is looking for but he would be a good addition. The team is improved but it looks like a mid 80s win team with two holes in the rotation an a hole in the OF. By 2014 if JJ is healthy and pitches like a star and LoMo and Stanton get better then it'll be extremely difficult to keep the team together unless they spend about $150M or maybe more so they need to win big in 2012 or 2013.

Not to mention that they clearly offered CJ Wilson the biggest deal he saw, regardless of what they did or didn't offer Albert.
