And the quote...............Marlins – A perfect fit? Miami is Rodriguez’s hometown. Hitting coach Barry Bonds and Rodriguez are friends. And Rodriguez committed to the University of Miami before he signed with the Seattle Mariners. But without a DH, the Marlins' chances of picking up Rodriguez and using him as a pinch hitter are slim, mostly because they are in the thick of the National League wild card race and they have Ichiro Suzuki, 42, on the bench. The club also holds an option on Suzuki for 2017.

 

THOUGHTS???????????????

 

 

What thoughts?

 

AROD was hitting 200 when he was let go.

 

He's finished.

 

 

Lol at the article finding reasons he could fit here, the first two are fine but what does his commitment to UM fifteen years ago have anything to do with him wanting to play here now? I bet the next reason would be something like "ARod once saw an episode of CSI Miami"

 

 

Much higher OPS against lefties this year than CJ

What it doesn't mention and probably would be a reason to take an offer here is he has two daughters in Miami.

Oh that's a good one. That could probably get Admin to come down here too.

I have to believe A Rod is going to play somewhere next season to reach 700 hits.

 

I don't see us doing the milestone thing again with A Rod, but I think some team will.

 

The problem becomes A Rod sacrifices the remainder of his contract he's getting for becoming a "coach" with the Yankees. The question becomes whether he values big money over career achievements in the end.

 

 

AROD needs 4 for 700. Just saying...

 

 

I have to believe A Rod is going to play somewhere next season to reach 700 hits.

 

 

 

 

He's got over 3,000 brah.

 

 

He's got over 3,000 brah.

 

He may mean 700 hits next season. Look out Ichiro.

True ... hmm.

He gets paid regardless as long as he clears waivers which he will.

Under normal circumstances I'd want A-Rod to stay away from here, but if he's directly replacing Chris Johnson, who's been so much shit this year, then I'd take it. He pretty much can't be any more useless than Johnson.

 

 

been saying for a minute hes a better alternative than cj.

 

 

I don't do NOT want AROD and his ego here. Thanks!

A-Rod's 2016 BABIP: .240

 

Chris Johnson's 2016 BABIP: .316

 

And A-ARod has still hit lefties better than Johnson. 

 

 

would A Rod take the wrong side of the platoon role though?

Looks like Mike Hill may not care what you want

 

 

I'll take Arod.

 

 

Chris Johnson has been so bad that I'd take ARod. They don't need CJ's ability to play 3B - with Deetz and Rojas they've got Prado covered. Also would be nice to have a RH bat that could tie a one-run game with one swing. 

 

Have zero interest in bringing him here in '17. What purpose would that serve other than to get 700 next year? We've got a full month and a half left now - bring him here, get him some AB and he's got a good shot to do it this season. 

 

Since the club doesn't trust either Bour or Deetz against LHP, may as well bring a RH bat that at worst is equivalent to CJ - CJ's OPS is .613 and ARod is .606.

 

 

Would Hech give up #3 for Alex?

 

 

I don't do NOT want AROD and his ego here. Thanks!

 

Wait, double negative... so you DO want him?

 

I'll gladly take A-Rod over C.Johnson. He has a .672 OPS against left handers, I mean he's clearly struggling. But if he can get butts in the seats which would help pump up the team, then why not. He had 33 HRs and an .840 OPS last year. Maybe a change of scenery could do the trick, baseball is tricky like that. Definitely not implying he'll return to that type of player but this team needs a jumpstart of sorts. Chris Johnson has a .583 OPS vs L, he's actually hitting better against R's this season. He's   kinda worthless and has no appeal or track record that would show that maybe he'd start hitting again. Bring A-Rod in and dump CJ.

 

 

So technically we would have two of the highest paid players in baseball on the same team? I might be having a change of heart.....

 

 

i cant believe chris johnson is still on this team
