August 28, 20188 yr I think it speaks volumes that the Marlins traded Yelich, Ozuna, Gordon, Stanton and Bour and they don’t have ONE “sure thing” type prospect. NOT ONE. This is what bothers me more and more. I get that fans opposed to "the process" are generally ridiculed on this board. But "the process" is dependent in large part on making the right personnel decisions. "Rebuilding" by trading your best players and getting marginal prospects in return does not work.
August 28, 20188 yr I get that fans opposed to "the process" are generally ridiculed on this board. Not true. Or not any more true than saying that those who are in favor of "the process" are ridiculed as well.
August 29, 20188 yr I think it speaks volumes that the Marlins traded Yelich, Ozuna, Gordon, Stanton and Bour and they don’t have ONE “sure thing” type prospect. NOT ONE. "sure thing" type prospects !? even Soto and Acuna Jr. not sure thing after only one good season.
August 29, 20188 yr "sure thing" type prospects !? even Soto and Acuna Jr. not sure thing after only one good season. Dude what?
September 2, 20188 yr I think it speaks volumes that the Marlins traded Yelich, Ozuna, Gordon, Stanton and Bour and they don’t have ONE “sure thing” type prospect. NOT ONE. but wait...they're "#justgettingstarted"
September 7, 20188 yr now hitting .204...if he can end the season .220 + then i think he'll be alright next year... he looks better at the plate since his return
September 7, 20188 yr Joe Frisaro: “Hint, you don’t give up on elite talent.” Hint, the Marlins traded NL MVP candidate, Christian Yelich, to get Brinson. I’m sure Puppet Joe Frisaro knows that though...

September 8, 20188 yr now hitting .204...if he can end the season .220 + then i think he'll be alright next year... he looks better at the plate since his return Sometimes the best way to get out of a slump is to take time off - forget old habits. Looking at his past 15 games is very promising. His last 30 aren't great, but acceptable. Those are the important #'s to me, because with such a historically bad start, the season #'s will never catch up.
September 8, 20188 yr It isn't out of the question that what helped Brinson most is having so much time off. From a mental perspective he was probably able to reset his mind comparable to a mini offseason as opposed to if he was just gone for 2 weeks.
September 8, 20188 yr Exit velocity is about the most useless stat. Respectfully disagree, friend. In a small sample, sure. As in, if you only look at that one time, sure. However, if a player is batting .200, and their exit velocity is consistently 100+ mph, then it says something - bad luck. So in larger samples, it is useful.

I'm more so speaking to the all of the sudden obsession with that stat. We are constantly hearing them speak of a outs with high exit velocity, and foul balls that are 100+. In regards to that, and out is an out, and a foul is a foul. Who cares how fast they came off the bat. If you hit the ball with great exit velocity, but you're a straight pull hitter, they're going to put a shift on, killing your average. I think it can be a useful stat, coupled with others. As a standalone stat, I don't feel it's very useful.
