November 29, 20169 yr I think everyone is waiting to hear what @Das Texan thinks of the signing A Cards fan cares about the signing of the Marlins !? really !?
November 29, 20169 yr FYI whoever started this thread... his name is Edinson with an N not Edison. Who cares the "N",he just needs to give us the "W".
November 29, 20169 yr Author Every thread turns into dating advice for me, give it up folks. Forever Alone lets try tinder and see how it goes..
November 29, 20169 yr He's already there, it is called MarlinsBaseball.com Not MB.com become the heaven after this signing !?
November 29, 20169 yr Are you saying he's what we need to get over the hill? No,he's what we need to get rid of the Mike Hill.
November 29, 20169 yr this definitely solidifies the Marlins' rotation as one of the top 5 in the NL East Only if we have 30 teams in the NL East.
November 29, 20169 yr At least we've gone out and signed someone early rather than our usual tactic of delaying and limiting ourselves to the absolute dregs.
November 29, 20169 yr Decent signing. The rotation will still be way behind that of the Nationals and Mets. If the Braves were to sign Sale then forget about it. But that would be expected. Would be great if the Marlins somehow could trade for Gio Gonzalez now that reports are coming out that the Nats are shopping him. Marlins probably doesn't have what it takes though and the Nats might not want to trade him to a division "rival" LoL.
November 29, 20169 yr At least we've gone out and signed someone early rather than our usual tactic of delaying and limiting ourselves to the absolute dregs. Early? The offseason ended before Thanksgiving. This signing is so late it's not even funny.
November 29, 20169 yr The Hills' are related so might be able to get Rich a little cheaper Was gonna ask if you meant Rich and Perry or Rich and Mike are related but decided to refrain myself.
November 29, 20169 yr looking a little deeper into Volquez's #s last year it's really a nice signing @Mike Hill. Did one of those analytics interns convince you ERA isn't everything?
November 29, 20169 yr More importantly, is @canada-marlin24 happy? I have no issues with this signing. I just hope he and Chen pitch like they are capable. I also wouldnt mind going after Hammel and Jansen.
November 29, 20169 yr I have no issues with this signing. I just hope he and Chen pitch like they are capable. I also wouldnt mind going after Hammel and Jansen. Jansen they've been linked to multiple times. Not so sure about hammel
November 29, 20169 yr Awesome. Also, hope everyone here has been doing well! I needed a break from baseball after the season ended for obvious reasons.
November 29, 20169 yr this is ok. I mean the Rangers just gave Cashner 10 mil, so... Fastball is still up there I think and he'll eat up innings.
November 29, 20169 yr this is ok. I mean the Rangers just gave Cashner 10 mil, so... Fastball is still up there I think and he'll eat up innings. his fb is a sinker too which ages better than your 4 seamer. I like that he's reuniting with Benedict and his 51% gb rate last year. HR is an issue (like Chen) so we'll see if he can get it back down (Chen couldn't and hurt him a lot)
November 29, 20169 yr Right. And someone probably mentioned it earlier but Benedict was with the Pirates when Volq put up a good season in 2014, I'm sure that played a part here too. The Benedict stuff may be a little overblown (?) but whatever.
November 29, 20169 yr looking a little deeper into Volquez's #s last year it's really a nice signing @Mike Hill. Did one of those analytics interns convince you ERA isn't everything? I won't comment on the logistics, thank you again
November 29, 20169 yr stfu with the Egghead Benedict shit. @Mike Hill please get rid of that clown so I don't have to read about how every past his prime pitcher or AAAA pitcher can be a Benedict project. No
November 29, 20169 yr Frisaro just put up an article saying that the Volquez sigining may allow the team to keep Ozuna... just like I've been speculating all day.
November 29, 20169 yr Frisaro just put up an article saying that the Volquez sigining may allow the team to keep Ozuna... just like I've been speculating all day. Yeah assuming they don't sign a new OF
November 29, 20169 yr Yeah I read it as now that we got Volquez, Ozuna doesn't leave unless Cespedes pushes him out, which is probably the way it should be. He did bring up Daniel Hudson which is a name I hadn't heard here yet.
