April 18, 201313 yr My friend and I were discussing this at Monday's game....the line up on the field today will look nothing like the line up post-trade deadline. Here's what we were thinking.....assuming no injuries. 1B- Lomo 2B- Dietrich SS- Hech 3B- Cox RF- Stanton CF- Yelich LF- Marisnick C- Brantley This assumes Polanco and JP get traded and players like Solano and Dobbs return to bench roles. Also assume that Ricky Nolasco gets traded. Thoughts?
April 18, 201313 yr You need to switch Yelich and Marisnick. Yelich is a natural LF and Marisnick is a CF. This is what I think (and sort of hope) is the August lineup: C - Brantly 1B - Lomo 2B - Hech/Dietrich SS - Profar 3B - Olt LF - Yelich CF - Marisnick RF - Ozuna/Ruggiano If we somehow land Profar I'd like to deal Hech or Dietrich for pitching.

Bleep off with that- your nuts, can't trade stanton.
April 18, 201313 yr We're trading Stanton sooner or later. If we are trading him, I want Profar, Olt, and others. I'd be beyond happy if we signed him long term though.
April 18, 201313 yr Yelich isn't a natural outfielder, but he looks like one. He played in the infield in high school, although did play outfield in his senior year. Either wa, he's awesome.
April 18, 201313 yr I think there's a chance you don't see Dietrich, Cox, and Marisnick until September if you see them at all.
April 19, 201313 yr I think there's a chance you don't see Dietrich, Cox, and Marisnick until September if you see them at all. i'd prefer not at all for Marisnick, unless he's just destroying the league or something.
April 19, 201313 yr Always a fire sale. By trading Ricky, Ruggz, JP, Polanco we are having yet another fire sale. No need for this. Keep Ricky as long as possible and Ruggz. TRADE STANTON FOR A KINGS RANSOM. Keep Ricky and Ruggz. Trade Stanton for a KINGS RANSOM Trade JP and Polanco.
April 19, 201313 yr Nolasco not going any were with him not pitching well He is pitching just fine. No need to trade him. He is our leader in a few catagories all-time. Keep him. Then again, as long as Loria and co run this team, even Stanton and our young stars in the minors and Jose Fernadez won't be here for long.
April 19, 201313 yr I think we could get a snickers bar for JP. We're gonna need some energy for the rest of the year so it could be valuable.

TRADE STANTON FOR A KINGS RANSOM. Keep Ricky and Ruggz. Trade Stanton for a KINGS RANSOM Trade JP and Polanco. Right. Hang on to the pieces that have absolutely no long term value beyond this year to avoid a fire sale, but trade the only marketable player left on the team.
April 19, 201313 yr I agree. Trade as many players as you can. No one cares enough anymore to receive any major backlash. Stanton can get us the mega platter from Texas hopefully.
April 19, 201313 yr Why trade Ruggiano? Is he arbitration-eligible due to prior playing time or something?
April 19, 201313 yr I think we could get a snickers bar for JP. We're gonna need some energy for the rest of the year so it could be valuable. But JP brings the energy, man!
April 19, 201313 yr Solano and dobbs definitely need to go back to bench roles. they wont be trading hechavarria thats for sure. would be nice to have turner, alvarez, and eovaldi in the rotation. i also would not trade stanton yet. if dietrich continues to hit hell be up. right now dietrich, cox, and jensen are hitting which i like. i could see jensen being a willingham type.
April 19, 201313 yr Ruggs has been a good hitter and is under team control for a while. I'd like to hold onto him for a little while. I'd kinda like to see this lineup come August C: Brantly 1B: Morrison 2B: Hechevarria SS: Profar 3B: Olt LF: Pierre CF: Yelich RF: Ruggiano This team still lacks a lot, A LOT, on offense, but the holes are less glaring. A Stanton trade also potentially improves our rotation as we'd get probably a Perez/Buckel/Grimm within the deal. Hell, we might possibly try and snag Martin (although outfield is probably not a priority in such a trade.) A rotation (assuming we throw Nolasco into a Stanton deal) with Fernandez/Perez/Eovaldi/Alvarez/Heaney by 2014 maybe doesn't look completely awful (ok, it's still pretty damn bad). In the circumstances that we keep Stanton, I'd like to see C: Brantly 1B: Morrison 2B: Hechevarria SS: Valaika (because what the hell) 3B: Dobbs (after we trade Polanco for another mediocre prospect at the deadline) LF: Yelich CF: Ruggiano RF: Stanton This team is shit, and looks like it might be shit for quite some time. Marlins Baseball, You Gotta be Here!
April 19, 201313 yr I really, really wish I could play optimist, and I actually think a Stanton trade makes it easier for me to play optimist strangely enough. But man, we're gutted at a lot of spots. We're putting a lot of faith in Marisnick/Nicolino/Hechevarria and the rest of the Blue Jays players we got back to help rebuild this team, and frankly, I don't feel a good deal of confidence about any of the people we got back in that trade.
April 19, 201313 yr if we trade stanton to the rangers I want olt, leonys martin, profar, and martin perez, plus buckel, basically there entire minor league system. and hell there first round pick too.
