December 9, 201312 yr He could play third for a year and move to first when Moran comes up. No big deal. We would have a decent lineup to go with our very good pitching in 2015. I would love to see that happen!

December 10, 201312 yr Hill sees Furcal as being a lead off hitter and Yelich being a middle of the order guy. Sure, why not try to give 36 year old Furcal an extra 100 PAs?
December 10, 201312 yr Author Hill sees Furcal as being a lead off hitter and Yelich being a middle of the order guy. Sure, why not try to give 36 year old Furcal an extra 100 PAs? Read that too. Kinda disappointing but things can change quickly.
December 10, 201312 yr From now on, can we put P. Hill and M. Hill to determine which Hill is being referred to? Cause usually Perry is the one that makes some redonk comments.
December 10, 201312 yr Author From now on, can we put P. Hill and M. Hill to determine which Hill is being referred to? Cause usually Perry is the one that makes some redonk comments. Well, I guess they really want Yelich batting third. Hopefully Furcal finds a way to get on base. And I wonder who bats second? Just very interesting.

Well, I guess they really want Yelich batting third. Hopefully Furcal finds a way to get on base. And I wonder who bats second? Just very interesting.Yeah, it is ... Hmm. I guess this is where we throw out the, "if Morrison is still here and they platoon Jones and Ruggiano" scenario, as LoMo is currently still a Marlin. 2B Furcal 1B Morrison CF Yelich RF Stanton C Salty/LF Ruggiano LF Jones/C Salty 3B Dietrich/Lucas SS Hechavarria Peesher! Then this question has to be raised again if Morrison is traded ... let's say to Baltimore and let's say Danny Valencia is a return piece (little more difficult): 2B Furcal C Salty/1B Lucas [.374 OBP vs lefties] CF Yelich RF Stanton 1B Jones/3B Valencia [.371/.392/.639/1.031 vs lefties in 2013] LF Ruggiano 3B Dietrich/C Salty SS Hech Pitcher Now, with Ozuna, a little easier, methinks: 2B Furcal C Salty/1B Lucas LF Yelich RF Stanton CF Ozuna 1B Jones/3B Valencia 3B Dietrich/C Salty SS Hechavarria Pitcher Yes? No? Maybe? I don't know ... can you repeat the question?
December 10, 201312 yr Author I think the lineup is REALLY going to depend on who plays third at this point... I'm playing the wait and see game.
December 10, 201312 yr Author I agree, yeah. Or if we trade Morrison. Etc. Doesn't seem to be "if" anymore, rather when.
December 10, 201312 yr I agree, yeah. Or if we trade Morrison. Etc. Doesn't seem to be "if" anymore, rather when. I think you're going to be upset by the return. 1B market is flooded right now with available players.

When did Logan Morrison become Miguel Cabrera? Did I miss something. To me, Morrison fits right in with the term available crap.

When did Logan Morrison become Miguel Cabrera? Did I miss something. To me, Morrison fits right in with the term available crap. Except Morrison is the only member of that group that can be pretty good. Just about every other first baseman with the exception of Loney is not just bad, but also old and getting worse.
December 10, 201312 yr Mark Trumbo, Adam Lind, Mitch Moreland and Ike Davis are all available in the trade market. I would take any of those guys over Morrison, except maybe Davis.
December 10, 201312 yr Author Mark Trumbo, Adam Lind, Mitch Moreland and Ike Davis are all available in the trade market. I would take any of those guys over Morrison, except maybe Davis. Trumbo yes. The rest? There's a reason why LoMo is the main focus of trade rumors and they are not. Teams WANT Trumbo and LoMo and couldn't care less about the rest.
December 10, 201312 yr You're wrong about that Wild Card. The Pirates are talking about Lind right now and he is a proven hitter, not a brittle one. You act like every team in the league should want Morrison. The Marlins need to trade him fast, even if it's for a little below value.....because make no mistake, he isn't going to be with them when spring training starts. If other teams fill up 1B and the Marlins are stuck with Morrison late into the winter, they are going to deal him for next to nothing.

Adam Lind is basically Garrett Jones 2.0 And LoMo is not brittle, he's had one injury that has been a continuing issue because the Marlins rushed him back too soon in 2012. Other than that he's really never been injured ever, not in college, the pros, never. The Marlins will have zero problems moving LoMo, and when he has a great season, I hope you'll admit you were wrong. If he tanks I'll sure admit I was.

I just have seen nothing in Morrison's career to make me think he will be an even average player in the majors. The fact that he plays 1B even makes it tougher for me to see him be productive compared to other guys at his position.

December 10, 201312 yr Adam Lind won a Silver Slugger Award in 2009 at the age of 26. Morrison will be 26 this year, so let's see if he can pull that off.

Still not even close to the production of a top 1B, let alone an average one.
