February 3, 20197 yr I hope you're right but this has cluster fuck written all over it so far. So negative (Can't blame you)
February 3, 20197 yr This is the best I have felt about a trade in many years with our organization. Take no crap anymore. Done, you want JT, then you give in otherwise, hey, we can wait and take a lesser haul at any time or a better offer later when someone really needs to make a move. Many teams get a good return for a quality 3 month rental so why should we worry. Squeeze them boys. Barry Jackson just reported we have only one player in MLB top 100 prospects and that is Victor x 2 Mesa and he was not even from a trade. So it is time to get some top prospect(s).
February 3, 20197 yr Barry Jackson just reported we have only one player in MLB top 100 prospects Did he just see the Pipeline story from a week ago?
February 3, 20197 yr Why do people say we didn't get any top 100 prospects from our trades a year ago? We got 3... Brinson Harrison and Alcantara. 2 have since graduated from the prospect rankings and yes Harrison has fallen off but the trades did bring back Top 100 level prospects when they happened. People love making their own stupid narratives.

People love making their own stupid narratives. Yes, even Diaz was a former top 100 prospect at ine point before we traded for him. Too soon to judge the trades.
February 3, 20197 yr In addition to getting Brinson and Alcantara, the Marlins sold the trades as restocking the farm system and “layering” stud players throughout. It is pathetic that none of the other heralded pieces from the trades are in the top 100. It also doesn’t help the narrative that Bronson sucked last year.
February 3, 20197 yr Jordan Yamamoto looks to be rather solid as well, so there's that. Not a fan of his AFL walk rate this past year but outside of that ... Seems to be rather good at limiting hits. Had a 5.6 H/9 over three levels in 2018 and a 5.2 in the AFL.

February 4, 20197 yr @SonOfJack ...you're officially on the clock. Why is he sitting on it? Which one is the minute, hour, second and baby hand?
February 4, 20197 yr @SonOfJack ...you're officially on the clock. Considering it was a prediction and not a guarantee, I don't see why I should worry. I'm either right or I'm wrong. Not like I am going to be punished for it! That being said, I still say it happens by the end of today.
February 4, 20197 yr Marlins should have never traded Yelich, tbh. They should have kept Ozuna too, but at least we didnt give up much of anything to acquire him. Hope he has a big contract year in 2019! Ozuna and Stanton, I understood. But I'd have kept Yelich and Realmuto to build around, though I understand the rationale behind the "trading for depth" approach they took. That said, it seemed like they were desperate to trade him and took whatever they were offered rather than waiting it out like they are with Realmuto.

February 4, 20197 yr If it doesn't happen today I might stop talking to you for a few hours so yeah there IS a punishment. You never talk to me, this is text.

February 4, 20197 yr You never talk to me, this is text. well then I'm gonna type less words than normal!
February 5, 20197 yr TICK TOCK And? So I'll be wrong on a prediction. Who cares in the end? If I was right, it would've just been a lucky guess anyway.
