Michael Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 From MLB Trade Rumors: Though the Marlins have an exceptional young outfield in Christian Yelich, Marcell Ozuna and Giancarlo Stanton, the club is still on the lookout for a fourth outfielder,tweets Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. Ideally, Morosi notes, they’d acquire someone who can handle center field to back up Ozuna. The free agent market has little to offer in terms of center fielders who saw significant time in the Majors last year, though the trade market has some options. The Padres have a number of outfielders that can play center field (Will Venable, Abraham Almonte and Cameron Maybin), Oakland’s Craig Gentry is an excellent defender, and the Cardinals’ Peter Bourjos is elite with the glove as well. One buy-low option on the free agent market could be Franklin Gutierrez, though his health issues are significant and he didn’t take the field in 2014. All of those names are my own speculation. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/12/nl-east-notes-taylor-marlins-haren-tulo-gattis.html Which one do you guys think would be best to go for? Considering I don't think we necessarily have one right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish14 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I would love franklin gutierrez. Used to be very high on him. Kind of like a Angel Pagan kind of guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say if we can get him on a minor league deal and he ends up making the squad, then great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokersgoon Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 all-in for Maybin. im pretty sure we could strike a deal with SD involving haren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaze2ki Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Unless the Padres are willing to eat most of Maybin money, I don't see the use of a 4th OF making 8M on our payroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish14 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I would rather not have may bin anywhere near this team. Just because of the past. We can find a different 4th outfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'd sign up for a Cosart for Bourjos deal. Where do i sign? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yokofox33 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'd trade Haren for one of the San Diego outfielders if we can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'd sign up for a Cosart for Bourjos deal. Where do i sign? How does that help us? Our rotation is lacking as it is right now until Jose comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'd sign up for a Cosart for Bourjos deal. Where do i sign? You can't be serious. A fourth outfielder isn't gonna get us any closer to the playoffs. A weakened starting rotation would put us farther back. No thanks. I'd shop Haren for any major league ready fourth outfielder on the west coast. With the starting outfield that we have there's no need to put any serious attention into finding a fourth outfielder.

Wild Card Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Am I alone on Austin Wates? Not a great bat or anything, but our 4th OFer will rarely see the field. He's a glove first guy capable of playing all 3 spots and he's a great pinch run option as well, something we've been lacking a while. Not to mention he's displayed great plate discipline, another benefit off the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canada-marlin24 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I would definitely take a guy like Venable. Good speed, good defender, and power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bret Hart Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 How about Ichiro? His baseball career would face to finish line. Still remaining as FA. If he want to make lots money, we couldn't sign with him, but I think he can accept backup roll gladly. As time goes by, that possibility will grow.
