November 15, 201510 yr He'll be posted this week. Maybe the fish should make a bid? Potential replacement for Ozuna. Doesn't really hit for power but I like those strikeout numbers ( he hardly ever Ks). He gets on base at a nice clip. I'd prefer a power bat but an idea since the fish are considering the likes of Fowler anyway
November 15, 201510 yr I'd be all for it. He really does seem like a Nori Aoki type, who they've been comparing him to. I would assume it's a safer bet to expect a decent translation of on base ability as opposed to power. Slap hitters usually have the right approach at the plate that keeps them out of trouble. And I say slap hitter loosely since it's not like he didn't hit for at least some power overseas. Any idea how much he might go for given the relatively few comps?
November 15, 201510 yr Btw, last month Hee Seop Choi has announced his retirement as a player of "Kia Tigers" in KBO. I heard he want to be a foreign scout or go study abroad. "BK" Byung Hyun Kim didn't. Maybe one or two more season expected.
November 15, 201510 yr I didn't know so much about Ah Seop Son. It's just fragmentary knowledge. Lefty, To have very aggressive swinging, Not a good baserunner but made 10+ SB season constantly, etc... Maybe poor man's Nori Aoki type guy.
November 15, 201510 yr Are we racist for comparing him to Nori Aoki and not someone like Denard span? Lol
November 15, 201510 yr Are we racist for comparing him to Nori Aoki and not someone like Denard span? Lol Lmao and it's probably worse because they're not even from the same country.
November 15, 201510 yr "BK" Byung Hyun Kim didn't. Maybe one or two more season expected. Damn how old is BK? Nice to know he's still pitching. Such a memorable player.
November 16, 201510 yr Damn how old is BK? Nice to know he's still pitching. Such a memorable player. Next January, he will turn to 37.
November 16, 201510 yr Author Fowler would be a solid replacement for Ozuna. Probably will be overpaid
November 16, 201510 yr Yes Goes to show that Ozuna is basically being traded, not because we have a surplus, but because Loria is being a bitch.
November 16, 201510 yr Why not? Price? Yeah, I don't see the point because of the price...and because he's really not much better than Ozuna...honestly he's probably not any better at all. This is a typical Marlins move. Trade a good, young OF'er when his value is at its lowest. Replace him by overpaying an outfielder who might give you similar production and is much older. And when the season hits its lowest point, trade him to the Dodgers, have them pay his salary, and take back 3 A ball prospects who'll never reach the big leagues. I hate Loria.
November 16, 201510 yr Loria is probably wanting Fowler "because he looks like Ozuna." Like Ozuna after the successful implementation of the workout program Loria wants to put him on.
November 16, 201510 yr Ozuna is a better player than Fowler, who had some good years in Coors but again, who doesn't? If that is our target to replace him, I rather keep Ozuna.
November 16, 201510 yr Oh yes Byung Hyun Kim. The pitcher who pitched for the Dbacks. How can I forget that world series memory where he kneeled on the ground covering his face like a little girl after that Mommoth HR BY Tino Martinez to tie the game in the 2001 WS. Than later Marlins being Marlins picked him up. He sure had a home here. Marlins, HOME of the has been, and reject projects. LOL....IN other news the Marlins also managed to get Tino Martinez to manage years later...some say they also brought in Luis Gonzalez for a year or two, but thats just a rumor.
November 16, 201510 yr Is Cespedes still being talked about within the FO? No more mention. It's been quiet all together.
