Entendu Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 What if they've been trying to sign him but he just isn't interested and, as a result, it hasn't been leaked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureGM Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 What if they've been trying to sign him but he just isn't interested and, as a result, it hasn't been leaked? The FO has said not that long ago that they haven't approached him with an offer yet and now say they will probably wait until next offseason.

curveball Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Marlins sign casey mcgehee on a 1-yr deal accrd Barry Jackson another over the hill, does nothing for the future player. What is going on ? When these guys lose 100 what excuse will Loria come up with then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureGM Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 It's not very encouraging considering that's the exact same thing they said a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When these guys lose 100 what excuse will Loria come up with then ? I think it's a pretty good move. They need someone to man 3B and there really isn't anyone worth trading or signing right now since they don't seem to like Chavez. This is a much better move than trading out of desperation. It also shows that they might recognize that players like Dietrich might need more time in the minors after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokersgoon Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 I like the signing.. I would prefer Chavez but all indications point to him going to AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureGM Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I don't have a problem with trying McGehee out. It's not like there's any risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 1.1 mil plus incentives for McGehee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Can we platoon him at 1B instead of play him every day at 3B? That would be better for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Mantis Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 At least his numbers last year, albeit in Japan, are pretty solid and encouraging. He does add some more power to the lineup. Also, I kinda remember him being decent at 3B on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherrealfan Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I am fine with this stop gap. Was getting worried we would trade a pitching piece for a one year player until Moran is ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I am fine with this stop gap. Was getting worried we would trade a pitching piece for a one year player until Moran is ready. This. I was worried we'd give up too much for a year that isn't likely to be a contending year. So say what you will about Jones, Furcal, and McGehee, they don't really hinder us in future years. Keeping our minor league depth could prove to be incredible in another year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollythewog Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Sure why not on this signing e. Guess that's where that ruggiano money went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 No problems with this. No risk, high reward. Even if he sucks after 2 months, just bring up Dietrich and replace him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dim Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 There's not even high reward. McGehee is a below average player who will perform like he has his entire career sans one season. This is a sh*t, we ran out of options, lets go grab that guy out of Japan and make him our starting 3B signing. Not upset, as at this point a 1 year deal doesn't mean crap when the team will suck next year, but it's whatever. I'd rather have Eric Chavez, but I think he wants to go back to Arizona anyway.

dim Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 And everybody mentions Moran. I think Moran is further away from the majors than many people are expecting. He's not nearly as polished as other guys (like Kris Bryant) are coming out of college, and he'll need all of 2014 and likely at least part of 2015 to work out the kinks in the minors. Absolutely no need to rush a guy like Moran with the product the Marlins are currently putting out on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backin2008 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Stop with the Dietrich worship Wild Card. If the Marlins thought he was the answer at 3B, they would not have signed McGehee. McGehee has had two good years in the majors and two bad ones. Still, the price was right to sign McGehee instead of trading from the pitching depth the Marlins have.

Admin Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I like this signing because McGehee might be able to bring some of the wisdom he picked up from Japan to our young players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's one thing the Marlins don't do, it's giving players they like time to develop in minors. You are being ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The Marlins are always patient with their prospects. Just last year, Jose Fernandez, Marcell Ozuna and Jake Marisnick... Oh wait, never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
