November 2, 201312 yr http://network.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/the_first_annual_dan_meyer_awards_the_anti_mvps/14940923 Yardbarker posted a list by position of the worse players in the majors this season Marlins had 2 starters and an honorable mention (Brantly didn't have enough at bats to qualify) My Congratulations go to Hechavarria and Ruggiano :wee :wee :wee Well deserved! BTW the worse overall was Hechavarria, He is MLB Anti-MVP
November 2, 201312 yr Ruggiano? Really? Would have thought it was Mathis, 100%. Who could have been worse? Dude hit .181...
November 2, 201312 yr Ruggiano? Really? Would have thought it was Mathis, 100%. Who could have been worse? Dude hit .181... If they paid catchers primarily for their batting average, a lot of them would be in trouble. Fortunately for Mathis and the others, a lot of teams don't.
November 2, 201312 yr Author It is based on WAR stats, Ruggiano was the only CF with a close to negative WAR rating
November 2, 201312 yr Maybe BJ used some of his $75m contract to buy his way out of the Anti-MVP award.
November 2, 201312 yr It is based on WAR stats, Ruggiano was the only CF with a close to negative WAR rating If it's based on WAR stats, then BJ Upton was worse. He had a negative rating.
November 2, 201312 yr Geez, our catcher situation must be bad when I question why Mathis didn't take this award... and Brantly was honorable mention...
November 2, 201312 yr He kept some guys out cause they have a good-great glove. Mathis probably falls in that region.
November 2, 201312 yr At least Mathis calls good games. Brantly don't know what the **** he's doing out there.
November 2, 201312 yr Fish picking up some hardware before Jose gets his on 11/11. Any press is good press?
November 2, 201312 yr I knew that the catcher had to be J.P. Arencibia. As a matter of fact, I'm going to make a prediction and say that the Marlins are going to sign Arencibia. He's from Florida. He'll be pretty cheap because he sucks. They'll sign him and say "hey look, we got a new catcher and he has some power! We upgraded two things!!"
November 2, 201312 yr I wouldn't be opposed to Arencibia, he's still young- and may be another Saltalamachia
November 3, 201312 yr Those guys would BOTH be game changers, cause they'd be replacing Mathis' bat. Sign both of them for 3/35 each.
November 3, 201312 yr Maybe if the Marlins had Arencibia's power bat in the line-up it would stop opposing pitchers from pitching around hitters to get to Stanton because he strikes out.
November 3, 201312 yr Those guys would BOTH be game changers, cause they'd be replacing Mathis' bat. Sign both of them for 3/35 each. Blank check.
November 3, 201312 yr Maybe if the Marlins had Arencibia's power bat in the line-up it would stop opposing pitchers from pitching around hitters to get to Stanton because he strikes out. And that power from the catcher position would allow everyone to bat in their proper lineup place, amirite?!

And that power from the catcher position would allow everyone to bat in their proper lineup place, amirite?!Only if Coghlan is the one catching.

And that power from the catcher position would allow everyone to bat in their proper lineup place, amirite?!Only if Coghlan is the one catching. But then who would play 3rd? Do you think Aramis Ramirez is available?

Do you think Aramis Ramirez is available? Only if we give up Stanton.
