March 6, 20188 yr If there was ever a season to let Telis and Nicolino stay on the roster and get one last chance to prove themselves then this is it. Yep. And by season, it really means mid-May to mid-June when various players service time rolls over into an extra year of control or deflects past super 2 territory, so it's really 6-10 weeks to show you belong or get replaced.
March 6, 20188 yr C- JT Realmuto 1B- Justin Bour 2B- Starlin Castro 3B- Derek Dietrich SS- Miguel Rojas OF- Lewis Brinson, Cameron Maybin, Scott Van Slyke Starting Pitchers- Dan Straily, Jose Urena, Odrisamer Despaigne, Sandy Alcantara, Jacob Turner
March 6, 20188 yr It would be pretty epic for the team to blow a year of service time on both Brinson and Alcantara for a magic 6-7 week run in a 95+ loss year April-Mid May 2018.
March 6, 20188 yr Author It would be pretty epic for the team to blow a year of service time on both Brinson and Alcantara for a magic 6-7 week run in a 95+ loss year April-Mid May 2018. Yeah I was thinking about this. I'm pretty sure they're not gonna put Alcantara on the Opening Day roster but Brinson is seemingly pencilled in for the CF spot on Opening day.... do we really want that? Seems like a horrible idea.
March 7, 20188 yr ya brinson is almost assuredly gonna be on the opening day roster. Alcantara i doubt. Anderson will as well.
March 7, 20188 yr It would be pretty epic for the team to blow a year of service time on both Brinson and Alcantara for a magic 6-7 week run in a 95+ loss year April-Mid May 2018. It would be embarrassing and a sign of dumb baseball culture continuing in Miami.
March 7, 20188 yr C - Realmuto 1B - Harrison 2B - Castro SS - Deitrich 3B - Bour LF - Brinson CF - Maybin RF -Sierra
March 7, 20188 yr Crowded outfield = changes.Bour moved to 3rd and Harrison to 1B, Rojas to bench You know this is real life and not a video game right?
March 7, 20188 yr C - Realmuto 1B - Harrison 2B - Castro SS - Deitrich 3B - Bour LF - Brinson CF - Maybin RF -Sierra not only is bour not a 3rd baseman but it is beyond stupid to have both brinson and sierra in the big leagues and have neither of them play center even if they stupidly do put them on the roster and harrison hasnt played above single A ball.
March 7, 20188 yr Author You know this is real life and not a video game right? And while I know what you meant I hate this cliche more and more because baseball video games now don't even allow these fantasy moves, at least now without serious editing. If you put Bour on 3B in MLB The Show he's gonna make errors virtually every inning. Just giving some credit to these video games that are taking stuff like this into account more.

I thought of that as I was posting it but went with it anyway cause I couldn't think of a better one.
March 7, 20188 yr not only is bour not a 3rd baseman but it is beyond stupid to have both brinson and sierra in the big leagues and have neither of them play center even if they stupidly do put them on the roster and harrison hasnt played above single A ball. I was so focused on Bour I missed those. Wow.
March 7, 20188 yr Author I was so focused on Bour I missed those. Wow. Yeah Bour is pretty large. He tends to block other people out.
March 7, 20188 yr Don’t play anyone important unless you have to. Maybe someone can chime in on service time/super two/years controlled issues as it relates to Brinson’s call up last year, but I’m under the impression there is nothing to be gained by holding him back (correct me if I’m wrong). C – Realmuto, Telis IF – Bour, Castro, Cooper, Dietrich, Rojas, Anderson OF – Maybin, Van Slyke, Ortega, Brinson SP – Straily, Urena, Despaigne, Conley, Nicolino RP – Barraclough, Wittgren, Ziegler, Tazawa, Diaz, Garcia, Steckenrider, O’Grady Prado, Riddle, Chen (hahaha) forthcoming once healthy
March 7, 20188 yr Yeah Bour is pretty large. He tends to block other people out. are you fat shaming? u can't do that if your not fat yourself

Holding him until May would give Marlins another year of control
March 7, 20188 yr Author Opening day is 22 days away and there's still so many guys who can potentially make the roster. Assuming he has a significant influence on these roster decisions this is probably a nightmare for Mattingly.
March 7, 20188 yr Brinson only had 55 ab last year. Holding him until May would give Marlins another year of control Thank you in that case hold Brinson back and put Jeremy Hermida on the opening day roster
March 8, 20188 yr Author Brinson’s going to make the team. Yea but he shouldn't. It's not what's best for the organization. Unless they plan on being really aggressive with pursuing an early extension with him. Which, to be honest, probably wouldn't be too hard to convince him to sign if the offer is fair.

Which, to be honest, probably wouldn't be too hard to convince him to sign if the offer is fair. Knowing he will be a free agent earlier impacts that buyout deal, so anyway you slice it, it is a stupid decision and costs them millions of dollars (literally). It's honestly not just about Brinson either, it's about organizationally not understanding why it is important to preserve a year of control (or deflect a Super 2 deadline, etc.). The Cubs deflected Bryant. The Braves are going to keep Acuna down a few weeks to start this year. Brinson though? The Marlins apparently need to play Brinson in a 95+ loss season for 6 weeks, because they don't want to DFA someone like Austin Nola, who wouldn't even be claimed. That's fucking stupid. I am all about rewarding players for good performances, but Brinson is the # 1 asset in the organization and he needs to be treated differently. Having him with the team before May 8thish or whatever is exponentially more egregious to me than any of the trade returns. However mad anyone reading this is about Stanton being traded, I am 10 times angrier about Brinson being on this team opening day. That move would be clear evidence there is a systemic problem with their operations, as this is an unforced error. Stanton had a big contract they had to move. This? Why the fuck is he up for 6 weeks this year and you lose all of 2024.

March 8, 20188 yr I agree that it’s the wrong move to have him start on Opening Day, but I fully expect it to happen.
