June 21, 201412 yr The New York Mets will win the NL East, with deGrom and Wheeler sharing the Cy Young Award. deGrom will also star in his own Pantene Pro-V commercial series.
June 21, 201412 yr Jones + Salty is pretty rough right now. Trade Jones if you can. Give Bour the full time job.
June 21, 201412 yr Fucking embarrassing. Two shutouts in 3 games, wasted two very solid starts by Heaney and Koehler and now have to face Niese who owns us. So lose 3 of 4 to another sub.500 team at home. Now back to .500 and won't be long before we fall below of this keeps up.
June 21, 201412 yr Dietrich needs to get the call. On top of that he even has better speed then Furcal.
June 21, 201412 yr Jones + Salty is pretty rough right now. Trade Jones if you can. Give Bour the full time job. move Yelich to 1B full - time unless Marisnick implodes (and no, his performance today is not imploding IMO). I don't expect much from Marisnick offensively, but that OF is so good with those 3 as opposed to Yelich in left
June 21, 201412 yr Jones + Salty is pretty rough right now. Trade Jones if you can. Give Bour the full time job. I speculated on this in another forum... If Marisnick impresses and deserves to stay in CF when Yelich returns, do you put Jones in a package deal to get pen help, moving Yelich to first (who played there age ago) and giving the Marlins an OF full of cannons with Oz, Marisnick, and STanton? Bring up DD, get his power in the middle of the line-up which would be: 1) Marisnick (CF) (Leads off cause he is the speedster) 2) Yelich (1B) (Some speed with Marisnick at the top), 3) Stanton-Beast (RF) 4) Hits McGehee (3B) 5) Dietrich (2B) 6) Ozuna (LF) 7) Salty © 8) Hech (SS) ... I'm sure there are better suggestions, but I'd like this line-up over what is out there now...
June 21, 201412 yr move Yelich to 1B full - time unless Marisnick implodes (and no, his performance today is not imploding IMO). I don't expect much from Marisnick offensively, but that OF is so good with those 3 as opposed to Yelich in left Yelich is a very above average defensive OFer. Moving him to 1b is a ridiculous proposition especially when Marsinick hasn't proven shit against mlb pitching
June 21, 201412 yr Dietrich needs to get the call. On top of that he even has better speed then Furcal. Frisario just tweeted that Furcal's going in for an MRI. Dietrich will be back in a day or two.
June 21, 201412 yr Author Yelich is a very above average defensive OFer. Moving him to 1b is a ridiculous proposition Above average, maybe. I don't know about "very". However, Marisnick + Yelich > Yelich + Jones, even if Yelich plays out of position.
June 21, 201412 yr Author Frisario just tweeted that Furcal's going in for an MRI. Dietrich will be back in a day or two. This is the Marlins. It may very well be Solano.
June 21, 201412 yr Yelich is a very above average defensive OFer. Moving him to 1b is a ridiculous proposition It's his natural position, and he is worse than Marisnick and Ozuna. Defensively
June 21, 201412 yr It's his natural position, and he is worse than Marisnick and Ozuna. He's played OF his entire pro career. According to metrics, Ozuna is actually the worst of the Stanton, Ozuna Yelich trio this year (Ozuna is still above avg). Regardless, they're all good OFers defensively. Again, Marsinick has yet to prove he can hit mlb pitching so not sure why this is a thing (He's struck oout 6 times in 19 AB so far).
June 21, 201412 yr Above average, maybe. I don't know about "very". However, Marisnick + Yelich > Yelich + Jones, even if Yelich plays out of position. I'm not sure I want Marsinick hitting in the lineup every day. I'd rather have Bour at this point.

Regardless, they're all good OFers defensively. Again, Marsinick has yet to prove he can hit mlb pitching so not sure why this is a thing (He's struck oout 6 times in 19 AB so far). If you think Yelich is a better OFer than Ozuna you're blind or on crack.

Again, Marsinick has yet to prove he can hit mlb pitching so not sure why this is a thing. Bour hasn't really either, so I'm not sure why that's a thing. going into the Game, Marisnick had 19 AB'S and was hitting .313, Bour had 17 and was batting .294 obviously Marisnick dropped after today, but your argument has just as little to stand on.
June 21, 201412 yr This hanging at .500 is really wearing on me. I dig it. the games are still worth watching. once we start dipping below .500 the season's over
June 21, 201412 yr If you think Yelich is a better OFer than Ozuna you're blind or on crack. I agree Ozuna is a better defensive Ofer, absolutely. However, Yelich has play LF better than Ozuna has played CF this year. That is the point I'm making. If the roles were reversed, Ozuna would clearly be better.
June 21, 201412 yr I dig it. the games are still worth watching. once we start dipping below .500 the season's over Or we can finally seize the opportunity and move forward. I dont get the people who just want to wait around and talk about waiting to fail.
June 21, 201412 yr I agree Ozuna is a better defensive Ofer, absolutely. However, Yelich has play LF better than Ozuna has played CF this year. If the roles were reversed, Ozuna would clearly be better. I still don't buy that. Whatever metric says that should be taken with an absolute grain of salt. Yelich is maybe, MAYBE above average in LF. He has very good range, and that's about it. He has an average glove and below average arm. If Marisnick does work out, Yelich should absolutely be the long-term solution to 1B. If they did move Jones this year, though, I'd probably rather have Bour at first and Marisnick in triple-A.
June 21, 201412 yr Joe Frisaro✔@JoeFrisaro Nothing official yet, but Furcal will be headed to DL. Corresponding move tomorrow. #Marlins Do the math on replacement. Did Deets get pulled from the NO game yet? lol
