December 9, 20178 yr You are just a real clueless fuck. You have to be some paid shill for the fanchise please tell me what i said in that post that is wrong. "fannies" have only been in the seats when this team is good. It's been that way for the entire history of the franchise no matter where the stadium is located.
December 9, 20178 yr those guys will cost a decent amount more than bour who is just entering his first year of arbitration, but ya, i dont think anyone is expecting a top prospect for him. Bour and Adams would probably command a salary within 1 million of each other. Why pay prospects when you could just sign Adams. Once he is signed than the market for Bour may open up, but that may be a move to be made just before Spring Training or even more likely, during.
December 9, 20178 yr And what pro MLB organizations do this in November and December?!??!? Fox Sports Florida used to always have a "lunchtime with the Marlins" once the season was over.

The braves havent non-tendered him, right? And the difference between him and Bour is that Bour has 3 more years of team control and Adams has just 1 before free agency.
December 9, 20178 yr Fox Sports Florida used to always have a "lunchtime with the Marlins" once the season was over. that has nothing to do with the marlins. Next suggestion?
December 9, 20178 yr Adams will cost prospects too. The braves havent non-tendered him, right? And the difference between him and Bour is that Bour has 3 more years of team control and Adams has just 1 before free agency. Adams is a free agent. Pay attention.
December 9, 20178 yr Adams is a free agent. Pay attention. I hadnt seen that they non-tendered him. In that case, he will probably still get a few million more than Bour going into his first year of arbitration.
December 9, 20178 yr I hadnt seen that they non-tendered him. In that case, he will probably still get a few million more than Bour going into his first year of arbitration. He made 2.8 mil last year. He wont get more than 5 mil at the absolute most I'm thinking. Until Morrison and/or Adams sign, there isnt really any real market for Bour. It makes no sense for any team that is in the market for a bad glove 1b to focus on him instead of a free agent. To most teams, paying a couple mil is well worth the cost to keep a couple of prospects.
December 9, 20178 yr but again, people keep telling you that they have done a few things. theyve also only been here 2 months and its currently december, so im not sure what you want them to be doing right now. And no, there was no amount of community outreach that they could have done that would have cushioned the stanton trade for the casual fan who doesnt understand the need for the rebuild. Dude it's 365 days a year....this is your business. Do retail stores close ? Marlins are in the business of selling a baseball team. If I owned them I would be trying everything I could to generate new fans, no matter what the calendar says

To most teams, paying a couple mil is well worth the cost to keep a couple of prospects. we shall see. I dont disagree. I think there will still be a market though as Bour has 3 years of team control left and those guys would command more than him. Bour is also a better player than Adams when healthy.

If I owned them I would be trying everything I could to generate new fans, no matter what the calendar says retail stores dont close, but you can bet your ass a coat store would do more advertising leading up to coat season and not in May. And this is all ignoring the point that they have had various events with the community recently.
December 9, 20178 yr Market for Bour probably sucks too, I agree with Das. 1B/DH types usually don’t bring back much via trade. I wouldn’t mind keeping Bour to be honest.
December 9, 20178 yr There are guys out there like Morrison and Adams that can be had for similar monetary cost (especially Adams), and no players. No thanks on Morrison...done that already....and I'm not sure his antics are as funny as they used to be.
December 9, 20178 yr No thanks on Morrison...done that already....and I'm not sure his antics are as funny as they used to be. Never suggested Marlins go get him. Just that he is competition for anyone the Marlins would look to trade Bour to.
December 9, 20178 yr Author No thanks on Morrison...done that already....and I'm not sure his antics are as funny as they used to be. He wasn’t suggesting the marlins sign him. He was showing why there may not be a market for bour.
December 9, 20178 yr Market for Bour probably sucks too, I agree with Das. 1B/DH types usually don’t bring back much via trade. I wouldn’t mind keeping Bour to be honest. Honestly, Bour may be one of the Marlins with the least market value they want to move.
December 9, 20178 yr please tell me what i said in that post that is wrong. "fannies" have only been in the seats when this team is good. It's been that way for the entire history of the franchise no matter where the stadium is located. And that has only happened 6 times in 25 seasons....can't really blame the fans
December 9, 20178 yr that has nothing to do with the marlins. Next suggestion? Oh it absolutely does.....the Marlins own the broadcast rights.....again clueless.
December 9, 20178 yr Oh it absolutely does.....the Marlins own the broadcast rights.....again clueless. you like to throw around the word clueless when you are the one who is really clueless. you think the marlins have the right to tell fox how to schedule their programming?
December 9, 20178 yr retail stores dont close, but you can bet your ass a coat store would do more advertising leading up to coat season and not in May. And this is all ignoring the point that they have had various events with the community recently. Not nearly enough....you really must be paid by them....do you clean Jeter's toilet too ?
December 9, 20178 yr you guys are right, i didnt realize how many 1b/DH types are available this year. I'd still either see what we could get this offseason or maybe waiting till the trade deadline and hoping Bour stays healthy is a better way to capitalize on his value.
December 9, 20178 yr Not nearly enough....you really must be paid by them....do you clean Jeter's toilet too ? let me guess, im clueless?
