December 7, 20169 yr marlins sure do love useless backup Cs. What's his defense like? Surely not as good as Mathis. Either way, this is a major improvement..... AJ ELLIS CAREER OBP- .340 JEFF MATHIS CAREER OBP- .254 Watching a lineup of Mathis, Hechavarria, and Chen try to hit is AWFUL
December 7, 20169 yr What did he sign? A baseball? A baseball card? his signature actually decreases the value of things
December 7, 20169 yr What's his defense like? Surely not as good as Mathis. Either way, this is a major improvement..... AJ ELLIS CAREER OBP- .340 JEFF MATHIS CAREER OBP- .254 Watching a lineup of Mathis, Hechavarria, and Chen try to hit is AWFUL prob better def but AJ is like 36 and his age 35 season is prob as good as it gets
December 7, 20169 yr so is Telis just useless then? That can't be a good feeling when you're a young catcher in AAA, the major league team lets the old backup catcher go...... and then signs another old backup.
December 7, 20169 yr so is Telis just useless then? to the marlins "baseball people" seems so. Telis has too many tangibles for them
December 7, 20169 yr well we had an opening for a Mendoza line hitter with Mathis' departure, so he does fill that role.
December 7, 20169 yr to the marlins "baseball people" seems so. Telis has too many tangibles for them Good thing we traded Sam Dyson for him.
December 7, 20169 yr well we had an opening for a Mendoza line hitter with Mathis' departure, so he does fill that role. To be fair, Ellis is a better hitter than Mathis. Although that's not saying much since we're both probably better hitters than Mathis too.
December 7, 20169 yr so is Telis just useless then? That can't be a good feeling when you're a young catcher in AAA, the major league team lets the old backup catcher go...... and then signs another old backup. They will probably just cheap out and use Telis as the first base backup hitting lefties and as a 3rd catcher....replacing Chris Johnson after they missed out on Steve Pearce.
December 7, 20169 yr Good thing we traded Sam Dyson for him. pls dont mention that because then i think of the grant dayton "trade" which of course makes me remember the hell that is losing carter capps for salary relief
December 7, 20169 yr lol clarkspencer ✔ @clarkspencer With Ellis signing, Mike Hill said JT Realmuto could see a little time at 1B to keep legs fresh.
December 7, 20169 yr For this shit they should have just re-signed Mathis whom the players really liked and the pitchers liked pitching to. Yuck! Give Telis a chance at least.
December 7, 20169 yr Lol the Fish are going cheap route and gonna use JT AND Telis as backup first base....probably keep 3 catchers
December 7, 20169 yr Rockies are talking to Blue Jays about Marcus Stroman. There's a name I wouldn't mind trading Ozuna for.
December 7, 20169 yr Wow! White Sox got Giolito. I wouldn't have given him up if I'm Nats. Too many OF as free agents
December 7, 20169 yr Rockies are talking to Blue Jays about Marcus Stroman. There's a name I wouldn't mind trading Ozuna for. yeah in a second but ozuna isnt worth stroman
December 7, 20169 yr Author Don't like this signing. Should have gone with Telis or just kept Mathis since the players seem to love him.
