Guest Vince0926 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 That boggled my mind. I can assume only they felt he wouldn't be ready or 100% until June/July. For 5MM I wouldn't have resigned him if I thought a better option was available. Sad part is, there wasn't and won't be. Yep Marlins are going for reclamation projects yet there was one in Alvarez for the taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canada-marlin24 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Yep Marlins are going for reclamation projects yet there was one in Alvarez for the taking. Yeah but reclamation projects that should be ready to pitch. Not maybe ready by June. I love Alvarez but the guy has some issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureGM Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 According to Barry Jackson of the Herald, Michael Hill is trying to add another starter but apparently he's running into Loria's hard budget number already. http://miamiherald.typepad.com/sports-buzz/2016/02/three-analysts-assess-um-class-um-waiting-word-from-several-whiteside-heat-personnel-notes-dolphins-.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 I'd rather Lohse than nothing too but Lohse is a Boras guy, he might have a higher asking price than Loria will give in to or he may not even want a minor league deal. Loria is bargain shopping and even Kyle Lohse might be out of reach sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacyofCangelosi Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 It's absurd for Loria and Samson to say that they're trying to be competitive this year yet Cliff Lee may be too expensive for them. That's ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vince0926 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Loria doesnt want to spend the money. Marlins had a great september 2015. He thinks that should carry over because they went 16-10 with hand, nicolino, conley, and dunn. Not to mention mathis was hitting bombs out of citizens bank park.

That's ridiculous. It's the difference between Tigers owner with Loria,the former said"I don't care spend money" but the later said "I don't want to spend money".

Admin Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Same year, same old Marlins. They will not come close to contending with this starting rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vince0926 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Sad Yep. This has all the makings of chen getting traded at the end of the year. No pitching equals tanking. SHOULD HAVE SIGNED A NUMBER 3. Or traded ozuna for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SixYearItch Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Crossing my fingers they'll get something done before spring training ends, they can't be going into the season with this starting staff. Still holding out some hope they'll make a play for Shields at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'm still confident they'll add "someone" but each day that goes by makes it more likely it's a lesser quality someone who might not even make the team. To me though, when we're this close to spring and prices drop, this is the time to grab a little more quality for less money so I'd imagine this is the perfect time for a team like us to swoop in on someone. Too bad they're seemingly not thinking like that. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
