Let's score some more runs!

"Kids nite" at the park....good luck Yelich and Marisnick!!!

Hoping the extra rest for Fernandez will benefit him in this start. Looking to see 7 IP and good velocity. The lineup for the Marlins gives us a little taste of what's to come...the future is bright in Miami if the FO doesnt screw it up. O wait...its the Marlins...they will screw it up. In all honesty tho, an OF consisting of Yelich, Marisnick, Stanton with the 4th OF being Ozuna looks pretty good to me. All incredibly young and they project well. As far as the infield, there are a few more question marks. Third base is covered with this years 1 round pick Colin Moran. Shortstop is up in the air...the Marlins have one of the best defensive SS in the game in Hechevarria (I dont care what the stats say; anyone who has seen him play defense knows he is the real deal), but he doesnt have the bat...he is replacable. Second base is up in the air but the Marlins have a few nice prospects in Dietrich and the young Avery Romero in the minors. Romero projects to be the better overall hitter. First base is Lo-Mo's to lose...if he performs well, he stays. If not, this position MUST be filled with an elite power bat (via draft or FA).

 

The starting rotation is going to be young, cheap, and filthy good once everyone gets here. With the surplus of MLB caliber arms, look for the Fish to trade a few of them down the line when they are playoff contenders (around 2016 they should be perennial contenders) and bring back the missing pieces (depending on who doesnt pan-out). Keep in mind that the Fish will probably have the top pick in next year's draft, where another ace will be waiting for them to snatch up, likely Carlos Rodon.

 

2015 rotation: Fernandez, Heaney, Rodon, Turner, Alvarez/ Eovaldi (if he isnt the closer)....with Nicolino, Conley, and many many more waiting for their call.

 

p.s. look at what Josh Johnson, Bonifacio, and the rest of the crew are doing in Toronto.

 

Remember, if they trade Giancarlo, they will get nothing less than two future all star position players and a future ace. Add that to the equation and they look even better.

Excited about seeing Yelich and Marisnick's debuts.

Hech is still a rookie right? And doesn't he have one of the top averages in the game over the last few weeks? If he has no bat why did Red move him (albeit temporarily) to leadoff?

Hech is on a hot-streak right now...there hasnt been much power either. He is finding holes in the defense and balls are finding a way through. I like that he is starting to use his speed when he gets on base. I would love for Hech to develop into our SS of the future, but unless the bat catches up I dont think he is the SS 3-4 years from now.

oh.

Haha, Astros are still worse than us...so I wouldn't get my hopes up about Rodon. Marlins will have Jackson and Beede to select from though.

 

Conley will most likely be a reliever.

Nobody wants Aaron Nola?

It's super early now anyways, things could change a lot around draft time.

 

Hopefully Fernandez can put up a strong outing, Coors can be hell.

I think Hech is developing fine.

Morrison, HOW do you drop that? Seriously?

How many times has Morrison just miffed on catches?

the hell Logan.

Still a better 1st baseman than left fielder.

There ya go. Fernandez takes Morrison off the hook.

Good stuff, Jose.
