July 17, 20169 yr If Chris Johnson and Don Kelly are our options at 1B I say put Ichiro or Yelich there for now. Never thought losing Bour would hurt us defensively...

Bour really isn't atrocious there as some make him out to be. He is okay and I'm fine with that for now. We are missing his bat quite a bit as well.
July 17, 20169 yr I posted the other week... if either Ichiro or Stanton can take a quick crash course in playing first so they both get ABs over Kelly/Johnson until Bour returns... it's mlb video game thinking but I doubt it happens

Can't be much worse than Kelly who blundered horribly today.

Yeah, Id rather kep G's cannon in right and have Ichy at 1st.... maximize the lineup until Bour comes back.... when a shitty pitcher starts he'll be on the bag most of the time anyway
July 17, 20169 yr Yeah, Id rather kep G's cannon in right and have Ichy at 1st.... maximize the lineup until Bour comes back.... when a shitty pitcher starts he'll be on the bag most of the time anyway I think realistically it would be Yelly/DD since yelly at least played over there in high school. Ichiro prado yelly G ozuna DD JT hech
July 18, 20169 yr Hopefully Bour is back in a week. Long term - Trade for Danny Valencia. He'd be a much better platoon partner than Chris Johnson and more versatile. Short term, I'd give Miguel Rojas some starts at 1b against righties. Even with his bad splits, he makes contact, can bunt, has good at bats. Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app
July 18, 20169 yr Marlins asked ichiro if he could play 1st base last year during spring training and he declined. Still don't understand why Rojas isn't getting the playing time. Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app

July 18, 20169 yr Yeah would be amazing had he done it especially since he hits LHP so well. Also I just read today that the A's haven't been getting much interest in Valencia and may just DFA him. Idk why. But marlins really need to call the A's on that. Johnson as well as Kelly need to go. Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app

July 18, 20169 yr The word on Valencia is that he is an awful clubhouse guy and that's why his trade market is low. Chris Johnson is a tremendous clubhouse guy. So, there's more to these decisions than on the field performance. Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app
