July 29, 20169 yr Cashner looks like a great get. Seen him pitch a lot and when he is on, he is damn good on. Traded some minor league trash for him, so cant be all the bad! People were enamored with Naylor and the power display he put on a couple weeks ago, good for us to get rid of him! I've seen Rea guys and he will be a solid #4 at the very least, something our Marlins are sorely lacking.
July 29, 20169 yr Rodney makes our bullpen better in 2016 and he replaces Capps in it for 2017. This trade has nothing to do with Rodney I still defend that trade. So shortsighted. Don't you see that the first trade caused the second?
July 29, 20169 yr If they win the WS it will be blind luck or because the offense/bp carries the team. Also Jose pitching every 3 days throughout all of the postseason and pitching well. I'd just tell Boras, sign an extension or we will ride Fernandez like a cheap rented mule.
July 29, 20169 yr exactly. i loved the chen signing. made a lot of sense. shit happens. This one is garbage chen was a great sign. too bad the other 1-2 SP signs never actually happened. Cause you know, Marlins.
July 29, 20169 yr To be fair, the Marlins were proven right about Henderson Alvarez coming off an injury...they do have more information about this thing than anyone. Perhaps they just feel he'll never be able to remain healthy with that delivery. It is violent and he hasn't stayed healthy yet in his career. good gamble by the A's.
July 29, 20169 yr $16m a year is peanuts for his 2015 production (which was backed up by peripherals and a move to the nl east) People are still living in the 2014 MLB financial world.
July 29, 20169 yr Guerrero could pitch for this Fish this year by the way as well. He's got work to do, but has elite stuff. Kind of like Capps a few years ago. We weren't getting starting pitching for free people. We paid a steep price but why does it not matter that Rea could be in our rotation for years to come? That doesn't mean anything? If he is our #4 starter for the next 3-4 years, plus we make a playoff run this year plus we add a bullpen arm who can throw upper 90s, why such negativity? Rea starts for us Saturday and Cashner on Sunday, and we are fighting for a playoff spot. We gave up low minor leaguers and a guy out for the year. And good riddance to Cosart.

July 29, 20169 yr Author at $16m/year? yes. absolutely. Lmao you knew he was gonna only have two good starts and have elbow trouble in late July because of how much we gave him?
July 29, 20169 yr Guerrero could pitch for this Fish this year by the way as well. He's got work to do, but has elite stuff. Kind of like Capps a few years ago. Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app Bro Guerrero is 2 months older than Capps. They are not even close to comparable lol
July 29, 20169 yr Author So shortsighted. Don't you see that the first trade caused the second? I don't get what you're saying. We were after starting pitching whether we got Rodney or not.
July 29, 20169 yr FG take basically what we're all saying; doesn't really help us much: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/marlins-add-andrew-cashner-colin-rea-for-stretch-run/

July 29, 20169 yr It's funny, I was the only one to state that we'd be dealing Capps away in this process. When I did, people said no way, he's hurt. You do understand that we didn't have the goods to add more than Cashner/Rea. Ervin Santana, who I wanted, was our only shot because of the $. Plus, the team rightfully wanted a controllable asset, instead of a pure rental, and got 2. I love Capps, but you do realize that other than him, we didn't give up much. And we have Ramos, Rodney, Phelps, Wittgren, Ellington, etc. - lots of controllable righty arms. We had to make a move for starting rotation depth especially with Chen out. And we didn't have the assets to do better than this. I preferred Bud Norris for Paddack and pieces than Rodney. But that shipped sailed. So, if this is what the market dictated, and I believe it did, for us to add starting pitching, then I am on board. Cashner and Rea will be much better with our defense and pen than they were in SD. Maybe Capps is great next year and maybe it wouldn't matter because Jose gets hurt and we finish under .500. You never know. You have to play for this year and we traded (as I predicted weeks ago) the only assets we had. Sent from my iPhone using MarlinsBaseball.com mobile app Dude you are beating your "I knew we'd trade Capps" statements to death. Ok we get it. You knew it all along.
July 29, 20169 yr and i dont know if giving up almost a hit per inning pitched even at AA is really that impressive or shows you have what is it, elite stuff.
July 29, 20169 yr Saying Guerrero is the next CC because he throws hard is like saying Jorge Sosa was just like CC.
July 29, 20169 yr Right. in AA this year: 1.2 WHIP in AAA this year: 1.75 WHIP in MLB this year: 2.00 WHIP he throws really hard which his only comparison to capps. His secondary stuff is garbage
July 29, 20169 yr he throws really hard which his only comparison to capps. His secondary stuff is garbage He's not even a poor man's CC. He's just blah
July 29, 20169 yr he throws really hard which his only comparison to capps. His secondary stuff is garbage matt 'straight ball' lindstrom also threw hard. guerrero is shit. i'm sure a.j. preller nearly called off the deal over guerrero.
July 29, 20169 yr Fuck this franchise: The Padres will cover around $2.275MM of the $2.5MM remaining on Cashner’s contract this year, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports tweets.
