Marlins looking for right-handed 1B

Featured Replies

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald writes that the team is still likely to add such a player. Miami isn’t closed off to the idea of re-signing Chris Johnson despite the veteran’s struggles in 2016, he notes. They’ve also checked in on some bigger fish (terrible pun intended — my apologies) like Mike Napoli, but that type of move isn’t considered likely, and Miami is not pursuing Napoli at this time. (Napoli is instead reportedly working on a two-year deal with the Rangers.) Bour will get some more looks against lefties this year, but he hasn’t hit them at all in his brief MLB chances (110 plate appearances, .221/.273/.291 slash, zero homers). Jackson notes that J.T. Realmuto will see some time at first base in 2017 on days when A.J. Ellis starts behind the plate (presumably against lefties). From my vantage point, both Adam Rosales and Trevor Plouffe make quite a bit of sense for the Marlins in that capacity.

 

 

Napoli's stats against lefties have regressed for 3 straight seasons. Just throwing that out there.  Last year he had a significant drop compared to the previous two seasons - again, I'll pass.  Johnson's stats against lefties were pretty damn good coming into last season so in the end it really might be a toss-up between who's better (or worse) after this season between those two as players do have a bad season here and there.  Bour has also only been allowed 103 ab's against lefties in three years combined total.  it's really a pretty small sample size.  Based on our chances this upcoming season I'm still in favor of not wasting money on garbage and just letting the guys play and maybe, just maybe, we'll have a new owner come this time next season and hit the FA market hard. 

 

 

Glad you agree

 

I dont have some grand illusion about things.

 

Cardinals need a lot of things to go right to win the N.L. Central in 2017.  

 

I mean the Cardinals have a better chance of winning their division than the Marlins in 2017, but does that really matter?

 

 

looks like scoop copy and pasted his article from last year about marlins trying bour against lhp

 

The same Joe "Copy and Paste" Frisaro and Jeffrey "Cheap Ass" Loria.
