"We need to get better" - Mike Hill

Featured Replies

Those kind of quotes are why Michael Hill is still around. I mean with such insight, how could you not want him?

 

Hill was also reportedly quoted saying "water is wet."

That article told us nothing lol.

I would have thought that it would have at least told us things we already knew. To bad the entire article was a blank page with the word "nothing."

Favorite part of the article is right here

 

Entering free agency with roughly $45 million committed to payroll, the Marlins have some room to add after spending $74 million last season, per Spotrac. When asked what the club’s mindset was in terms of how much they’d be willing to spend, Hill was non-committal, repeating that the Marlins “want to get better.”

 

LMAO! Mike Hill's answers will always be vague the company policy was pretty much carried over from the previous regime. Tight-lipped on everything.

 

Feels like the Yankees give Brian Cashman complete reigns in interviews. He really doesn't hold back when you ask him questions like these. Wish the Marlins would adopt that view, it would certainly be more engaging for the fan base.

I mean. What's he supposed to say? No, we're not spending? They have to prove they will spend, and he's preempting a likely repeat of last year's not-so-good veteran signings by not going out there Phillies style saying they'll spend stupid money that they won't spend.

Yeah maybe I've just gotten used to them but I'm ok with Mike Hill's vague answers over someone who says stupid things or false things or things that get them in trouble like Samson.

We have lots of money to spend, we have lots of prospects to trade, this would be an interesting off- season.

You want the Marlins to trade away lots of prospects and spend lots of money?

 

Do you not realize that that's how we got into needing this rebuild to begin with?

While it’s very cool to think that the team is going to be buying this winter it’s concerning that the team is also leaving Mike Hills comfort zone. The early days of the reboot had tasks that I think he could handle (trading away assets). Now the task is signing free agents and this is where so many mistakes have been made in the past. It is hard to get past that and the thought of Mike Hill now going out to do those deals again...well that doesn’t feel great

Weren't some of those free agent decisions allegedly made by Loria, even at times overruling the brains in the FO?

It's time for Hill to prove everyone he would doing much better without Loria.

Mike Hill hasn't had the chance to show that he can do well in free agency.
