fish20 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Morons. We are maybe 3 or 4 ST invites away from being a WS contender I hear, now we'll need at least 6 of those. all we need is 2 frontline SP's. we're so close to being a contender.

Dr Beinfest Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Hey look, Jeter learned from trading Gordon, Stanton, and Ozuna that you're not supposed to publicly let on about how poor of a position you're in! moron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marlins are far more likely to be contracted or relocated in 5 years than make the playoffs. Honestly why are you guys fans of this team anymore? And by extension, why do you still come to this website? Getting used to the rebuild is part of the process and it appears you guys have missed the boat. Just go root for another team already because the game of hating every potential move or move already made is becoming grossly tiresome and overplayed.

I wouldn’t necessarily hate the rebuild if we actually got promising prospects. Instead, we got other farms’ garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it worked with the Cubs and Astros, this "be horrible" then you will get better, has to be done with smart and intelligent builders. When you have Mike Hill, you have a great big pile of dung !!!! It's going to take getting rid of Hill for them to ever progress. If Hill is still here, 5 year build might become 8 years, and by then, will ANYONE still be watching the Marlins ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exasperated Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 So they have a better chance of doing that by not trading Yelich and Realmuto? yeah but your assumption is if they trade Yelich & Realmuto, they'll get at least two players that will be at least as valuable. We've seen how those trades go for us....trading them, makes this not a 4 year project but maybe a 10 year one...and that's if they get lucky in the draft....which they are not known for.

Exasperated Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 People that think they can project out 5 years or even 8 years make me sad for humanity. Then boo-hoo you..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exasperated Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Correction now we're up to a 10 year prediction. Do I hear 20? I didn't say it's for sure, but the probabilities are greater, seeing as the way they have gotten rid of Stanton and Ozuna and not gotten a single top 100 prospect.

Exasperated Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 The Cubs didn't break their 100 year plus drought until they did a rebuild. But they also had Theo Epstein, we have Mike Hill.....sort of a big difference me thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exasperated Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 It is impossible to project out 5 years right now. But its fun to speculate...and if we can't do that, then why have this forum. So we can rehash Jeter's moronic Town Hall some more ? Oh yeah let's pinpoint just how many tears did that lady shed ?....and does Marlins Mans ego have any limit ? I mean these questions are just ripe to be endlessly discussed for the next 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinsArmy Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Name the last time a MLB team was contracted. Relocation I could maybe understand though that lease would get in the way of that. Yes, the lease is an issue, hence the very real possibility this franchise gets contracted. This is a cash poor ownership group that just alienated most of the few remaining Marlins fans and made the team a 100+ game loser without even rebuilding the farm in so doing. There will be little league baseball games in South Florida with better attendance than the Marlins will have for the next several years. The cash poor ownership group will claim they are trying to get better but can’t because nobody buys tickets and the franchise’s death spiral will culminate in a push for relocation that either succeeds or results in contraction due to the lack of financial viability.

I just think people should ask themselves this occasionally. Might save alot of frustration and heartache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I've been with them since the 1st pitch that John Lynch pitched in a minor league game in NY state in 1993 on Sunshine Network. It's called loyalty......

MarlinsArmy Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Do you think before you speak? The lease makes a it very real that they will NOT be contracted. A lease does not stop a business from going out of business. If it did, shopping malls would be thriving. The Marlins have succeeded in killing off most of the last group of people who give a shit. The stadium will be even more empty than it has been and this cash poor group will either have to move or shut it down. The lease is a real obstacle to moving, but shutting it down is a very real possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
