floridafly Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 This just doesn't make sense at face value. The only thing I can think of is someone in the organization has been working with Marmol and has an idea of how to cut his BB/9. Which is 6.1 for his career. Yikes.

MarlinsLou Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I don't get it, unless this is setting up Cishek/Middlebrooks, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SixYearItch Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Walks drive me batty. Marmol would be the last pitcher I would sign. Sheesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinsLou Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 That wouldn't exactly be comforting. I just don't see why the Marlins need 10 relievers. Ramos, Capps, Marmol, Caminero, and Koehler, with a slew of strong lefties and guys like Wittigren, DeScalfani, and Urena coming soon is a pretty nice depth chart sans Cishek. Baker/Marmol salary is about what Cishek is making too. I'm just saying, if Stephen Drew resigns in Boston, there are no AB for Middlebrooks as Boegarts is going to play and Cishek makes a lot of sense on that team (considering he has 4 years of control). I'm not sold on Middlebrooks, but at the same time, gambling on power is never a bad thing. Inversely, Boston's bullpen would be amazing. Kind of a win-win.

Jokersgoon Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 I like it; especially for one year.. I know he is a heart attack inducing closer but he might benefit from a new environment and a pitchers park. Plus he's not closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotcorner Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I don't really get it as we have a pretty good crop of relievers already with some depth in the minors. also I can't stand him. w/e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entendu Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I feel like the plan is to pick up a few of these guys in hopes of flipping them at the deadline and turn nothing into something. At the same time, they get to keep their younger guys down and save on arbitration time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureGM Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 It's not a big risk, but he's always walked too many batters, and the org has a lot of younger relief-type guys that they could put out there instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonymous Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Don't see this as a big deal. If he's good, you can flip him at the dead line. If he's bad, you have his replacements in the minor leagues and let him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vince0926 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Out of all the smart moves they have made......wow I scratch my head on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backin2008 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 If the Marlins can somehow get Marmol to throw strikes, he can be an asset. If not, he will be out of town before July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 More than anything I'm shocked that this is a guaranteed contract and not a reclamation project on a minor league deal. Why guarantee a guy with a renowned history of failure? Our pen and its depth are a silent strength of this team, why risk disrupting the makeup of a pretty nice bullpen? You can bet he'll be given the eight inning from the start. For a team that stressed keeping Cishek for the sake of preserving wins for the psyche of its young players, this move seems to be the exact opposite of that mindset. Ugh.

Bret Hart Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 BTW, In 40-man roster, there is no empty space for Baker and Marmol. (Roe has signed minor deal.) Who's gonna DFAd? Let me guess : Sam Dyson and J.T. Realmuto. (maybe Jimmy Paredes or Hatcher could be) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
