February 28, 201313 yr Why do you guys want them to call up these young players in a season that is most likely going nowhere? How does this benefit the team? For the love of God, don't even think of calling up Fernandez this year.
February 28, 201313 yr Redmond hangs around to see if he can give the local sportswriters a big ol' ****burger to eat by the end of the season.
February 28, 201313 yr bold prediction: poster Henry Jones realizes he should support another team also, Mike Redmond gets named manager of the year. and then gets fired.
February 28, 201313 yr Stanton cracks 40 HRs while batting around .280 and a .950 OPS. Turner leads team in wins with 14-15 Polanco will bat around .285 and Pierre around .280 Lomo will hit 20 HRs if healthy Yelich joins team in July, will OPS at .800 Cishek will have around 32 saves Marlins will finish with 71 wins I'm pretty sure this is a thread about bold predictions. Your mom is a bold prediction. BURRRRNNNNN
February 28, 201313 yr Hechavarria is sent down some time in June and doesn't come back till September call ups. Stanton hits 55 HR. LoMo stays healthy all year and bats .320.
February 28, 201313 yr It's a clean slate! New opportunity! I see.... The playoffs. That's right. Every season I see the playoffs. Go fish!
February 28, 201313 yr Fishfan88, I agree. Why not? 2012 orioles. 2012 a's. 91 braves and twins. 2003 marlins (19-29 start). 2007 Rockies. 2008 rays.....yeah I will take my chances with you and see the marlins at least surprising us with a push. The biggest and best thing that could have happened to us was letting go of Ozzie. The culture is flipped though yes I miss Reyes and bonifacio, this may be a blessing. Plus this year we don't need to worry about following the team through a stupid show on show time. Going to be an interesting year. Just got to have faith. To get people like us in the stands, to get recognition, to be on the cover of sports weeklys, sports illustrated, you have to win. No substitute for it. GO MARLINS. I rather be in our case then some team like dodgers because their expectations are so high, the pressure must be outrageous. Here we can sneak up on people.
February 28, 201313 yr Author Negatives -Hechevarria puts up an .OBP below .300. -Brantly puts up an .OBP below .320. -Polanco misses at least half the season due to injuries. -Ruggiano regresses. .OPS below .800. -Morrison proves to be a platoon player. -Solano struggles. Positives -Stanton leads the NL in .OPS. -Pierre leads the NL in SB's. -Cishek leads the NL in saves. -AJ Ramos is our 2nd best reliever. -Bullpen is top-5 in the NL. -Josh Booty signs and does ok as our 5th starter. -Turner, Alvarez, and Eovaldi all reach double-digit win totals with ERA's under 4. -Chone Figgins gets a lot of starts at 2B and 3B and doesn't suck. -Team wins more games than the 2012 version. 74-88 = my prediction.
February 28, 201313 yr I think we will win 86 games and be in Wild Card Contention until early September.
February 28, 201313 yr They win the wild card, get to the world series. God knows what happens then. MrMarlinPride Dreamer
February 28, 201313 yr - Hitting: Biggest flaw the team will have. Close to last in runs scored. Stanton still manages to hit 30 homers. - Pitching: Not completely horrible but below average. Turner puts up a decent 3.55 Era - Defense: Actually pretty decent and will help the team win some close games. - Bullpen: Pretty average bullpen, will do ok. Wears down towards the end. - Yelich and Fernandez: called up in september. No need for them to be up this year. - Total Wins: 54 - Overall: I hope I'm wrong.
February 28, 201313 yr I think it'll help not being under the magnifying glass. just because people are expecting a shitty team to be shitty, it doesn't mean that 2006 is going to happen again
February 28, 201313 yr prediction: the Suns will be good actually I'll reach and say Eovaldi and Brantly will do better than expected (and that does not mean Brantly equals 2012 numbers, I'll say something like .275/.350/.400, which would be just fine by me) LoMo will not put it all together. Dunn will get sent down again but the rest of the guys will be solid so no one will miss him.
February 28, 201313 yr prediction: Dunn will get sent down again but the rest of the guys will be solid so no one will miss him. Does he have options still?
March 1, 201313 yr They win the wild card, get to the world series. God knows what happens then. MrMarlinPride Dreamer Always have been, always will be. I expect and hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
March 8, 201313 yr I will watch a spring training game and see a Marlin come up to bat and then will not have to look him up on Wikipedia because I don't know who the f*ck he is.
