February 8, 201313 yr Author I'm surprised the Marlins waited that long to sign him. Figgins is the archetypal Beinfest player.
February 8, 201313 yr yeah. dont really know what happened to him in seattle. we are adding some real power bats here. in fact, i would very much like to see dietrich win the second base job.
February 8, 201313 yr If you think about it, there was a point in time when signing Juan Pierre, Placido Polanco, Chone Figgins, and Jon Rauch would've been considered a great offseason...
February 8, 201313 yr Author keep it coming fish. I want to see 100 ST invites this year 26 more to go!
February 8, 201313 yr I really don't like this move for the Fish. Figgins has been awful for two years now and I think he's toast as a major league player.
February 8, 201313 yr Eh, I don't hate this. They can plug him in at 2B or SS when Solano and/or Hech inevitably poop the bed.
February 8, 201313 yr I really don't like this move for the Fish. Figgins has been awful for two years now and I think he's toast as a major league player. How can you not like a minor league deal? He's either good or he's gone.
February 9, 201313 yr Worth a shot. Perhaps he can provide a challenge to Solano for the 2B job. If he somehow beats out Solano we should probably just outright release Donovan, because Figgins was literally the worst MLB player at the plate for like three years running at one point. I can't imagine that he's going to provide anything, but I guess it's no risk.
February 9, 201313 yr Lol i wrote to samson to sign him at the start of the offseason. He had told me that was a great idea.
February 9, 201313 yr Author It's Solano's job to lose and I doubt he loses it. Figgins is on board for depth and will fill an Amezaga type role.
February 9, 201313 yr If you think about it, there was a point in time when signing Juan Pierre, Placido Polanco, Chone Figgins, and Jon Rauch would've been considered a great offseason... So essentially we got some old guys that got on base in there time.
