December 21, 201213 yr It would at least be interesting to see if Kyle Jensen could hit up here or if he'd just K 300 times. But won't happen, I'm sure they just love JP. so we're basically looking at JP, Solano, Ruggs, Stanton, LoMo, Brantly, Polanco, Hechevarria. Wow. They're gonna need an awful lot of singles. Let's all just cross our fingers that the Jax guys tear up AA.
December 21, 201213 yr Who has a bigger head: Placido Polanco or Kevin Mench? We can't even get a halfway legitimate photoshop.
December 21, 201213 yr Lomo is a bust. Amazing how we can determine this when he hasn't had a season where he's been healthy since he got called up. Let's wait til after this season and if he puts up crap numbers in 140+ games, then fine.

December 21, 201213 yr Why do some people just root for players to fail? We have a 1b that we've put in the OF and screwed up his knees, we are finally putting him at his natural position and some act like we want him to be a bust.

December 21, 201213 yr Yeah he doesn't realize the time to cash in for guaranteed money was last year with the Marlins.
December 22, 201213 yr Good signing. I think the offense might surprise to the up side. The starting pitching, on the other hand, will probably test a saint's patience. Well i'd hope it suprises on the up side...with the expectations for this offense, if it manage to suprise on the downside...

Well i'd hope it suprises on the up side...with the expectations for this offense, if it manage to suprise on the downside...The starting pitching I think will actually be decent. Nolasco, Turner, Alvarez, Eovaldi and who knows for #5 right now, but I think it'll be alright.
December 22, 201213 yr The Polanco signing just fits, this should be a scrappy team the Marlins will be fielding in 2013 I am hoping Jensen can win an Outfield spot to provide the power piece in the 5th spot of the lineup Eddie: don't know if you noticed, but you inadvertently added an "s" in front of the word "crappy."

Well-played.
December 23, 201213 yr This team will start looking a hell of a lot better when Yelich/Fernandez/Heaney/Marisnick get September call ups. But at this point, I see no reason keeping Stanton around during this rebuilding process. I hate the idea of trading him, but this will be the only time Texas' farm system will be stacked with the likes of Profar/Olt/Perez/Buckel/Martin. The timing is fine as everyone hates the Marlins currently anyway, and the Rangers have failed in their quest to keep Josh Hamilton or get any real power hitters. I know Stanton is a hell of a lot better than Mark Teixiera, but just look at the trade the Rangers made with the Braves and you'll see we could get a similar style, if not slightly better return for Stanton. At this point I've given up any real hope that we can keep Stanton here long term. The front office f*cked up, so the only real thing to do right now would to see if Texas would trade their top guns. Although the thing the Marlins are going to do is hold on to Stanton, refuse to offer him any kind of extension for another few years like they've been doing, then trade him when his value is lowest. It's the Marlins way. He really makes no sense on this team right now. The longer he stays unsigned, the more expensive he gets and it doesn't look like we have any intention of giving him a contract. You have to get Profar in a trade with Texas though. And they've said there's absolutely no way they give him up in any trade. Yeah, you could argue you build the team around him but you don't pass on a chance to get a player like Profar (if there is one), let alone Profar and Olt.
