hovertical Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Actually way too soon to do what you’re doing. Elite defense and 5 HR’s. He needs to walk WAY MORE and strike out A LOT LESS. If he can do that he becomes a big asset. Way to early to say he’s a bust or a Hermida. We’ll have to wait and see. We have time because the Marlins won’t be sniffing the playoffs for a long time. if they can put out mock drafts for 2019 then it's never too soon to make comparisons. Right now, a high level of success in AAA and being a useless POS in the bigs equates to a Hermida comparison. It's a fair comparison to make - also fair would be is that if he were hitting at Hermida's level we'd all be a lot happier because his defense is much better than Hermida's. I'm not saying he'll end up being a clone of Hermida but it's a viable comparison to make right now, the "AAAA" player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHPMarlin Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 It's too early to call him a bust. On the other hand, a major league player simply can't go through a season playing every day and batting .170. I don't care if the team is rebuilding or not. He either has to start hitting or be sent down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97marlin Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 he isn't going to be able to adjust if he can't make contact with a baseball. I say send him to double A. Get some confidence back. show him that he can hit. Then send him to triple A to try to figure out how he was approaching it wrong. I know it would suck, but it would give him a chance to get back to hitting. bring him up late July early August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakeshow00 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Send this guy to AA. He is downright terrible and can’t hit major league pitching if his life depended on it. Enough is enough already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Send him back to his mother's womb, actually further back, let's have the mother pick a different father, one with a pitch recognition gene. Holy shit lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTrain Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Sweet Lou Reggie Abercrombie’d that ball into orbit. Its such a shame our dolt ownership/FO/manager bat Brinson in the WORST possible spot in the lineup. He hit the grand slam because Teheran had to pitch to him with the bases loaded.

Erick Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 He clearly has raw power which can’t be taught. Hopefully he makes the adjustment on breaking balls sooner than later and starts making more contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with you here, but other than the #9 spot, where do you put him? He'll see better pitches at the #9 spot, though it usually won't have RISP. You can't justify him taking anybody else's spot in the order (1-7 have done surprisingly well, considering) because he has raw power & needs to develop. If development is the issue, it needs to happen in AAA or AA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SongInTheAir Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Riddle is hitting over .350 and Telis over .370 at AAA. With OBP over .390 and .400, respectively. Send Brinson down and one of these guys up. Here's a riddle: [ATTACH]1974._xfImport[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to bring up Riddle and Dean and bench Prado and Dietz. It would make our bench stronger and get the younger guys in the lineup. Not that Riddle and Dean are studs but we should get to see what they can do before the bigger upside prospects are closer to being ready. This season is for development anyway.
