November 22, 201312 yr Batancourt is definitely someone the Marlins would be interested in. It should come as no surprise.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the Marlins front office loves Betancourt's talent. It's exactly the type of player they like.

November 22, 201312 yr WELL OF COURSE WE'RE INQUIRING ABOUT YUNIESKEY BETANCOURT This should be the new name for this thread Check the title to this story: http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/11/21/of-course-the-marlins-are-interested-in-yuniesky-betancourt/ lolololol.
November 23, 201312 yr Don't give them any ideas. They loved John Buck. A Betancourt, Adeiny, Solano, Dobbs and Mathis infield would be an amazing thing to see Who ever said "There's no crying in baseball" never saw this!
November 23, 201312 yr I remember there was a day there were talks about AROD as a possibility to play 3rd base ...now we are reduced to Betancourt???? Does the FO know people have to buy tickets with real money? Who in their right mind would wanna pay for that?

Does the FO know people have to buy tickets with real money? Who in their right mind would wanna pay for that? People aren't going to pay to see anyone. The ONLY way fans will consistently show is if we become a winner.
November 23, 201312 yr Betancourt is probably the only FA 3b available that is actually a downgrade from Polanco. Go fish!
November 23, 201312 yr The team is appalling offensively. And there are not real answers in free agency. It is not as if the team was going to drop $400m on McCann and Cano.

Jose Fernandez's starts were becoming a "thing" by the end of the year and I anticipate attendance to be significantly higher during his starts. Of course, his personality and ability make him one of a kind so he's a pretty rare case especially with Miami I think...
November 23, 201312 yr But if he was an everyday player, would attendance spike every day? Maybe...What's a comparable everyday player to Jose?

November 23, 201312 yr Author A's outrighted Scott Sizemore, he'd be worth taking a flyer on. Obviously there's injury concerns but he had a promising 2011 before missing 2012 & 13 with ACL surgeries. Could help out at 2b/3b.
November 23, 201312 yr I was thinking the same extendu lol. He's missing from this thread, make sure to post in the Stanton won't be traded thread. I think derek is missing from that one too.
November 23, 201312 yr But if he was an everyday player, would attendance spike every day? Maybe...What's a comparable everyday player to Jose?Mike Trout.
November 24, 201312 yr McCann to Yankees. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/eye-on-baseball/24270862/brian-mccann-yankees-in-serious-talks-nothing-finalized Edit: Link says not finalized but I just saw on ESPN ticker that it's done deal.
November 24, 201312 yr It was a pipe dream that he'd be a Marlin anyway once the news hit that he was seeking about 100 mil.
