December 17, 20196 yr They are waiting to see who will come to them dirt cheap as the offseason rolls on. It should piss off 100 percent of the fan base but it somehow doesn’t. They're just lowballing the players like before …
December 17, 20196 yr Payroll decisions don't come from Hill. He's told what he can or can't spend. This situation is on Jeter and Sherman, clearly, not on Mike Hill. You know better than that. did i said it's Hill's fault? I said the same clown is still there
December 17, 20196 yr Author I just wonder if there will ever be a time when we aren't a joke of a franchise.
December 17, 20196 yr Jesus Aguilar being a good acquisition is hilarious. its basically a flyer on a really bad fielder who had a really good 1/2 to 3/4 year in 2018. You’re the worst sometimes
December 17, 20196 yr Yes, Gio is a free agent. I thought Gio was a pitcher? Now he's an agent, and working for free?
December 17, 20196 yr You’re the worst sometimes aguilar has one very good year. he isn’t good at 1b. He isn’t that great of a hitter. He is what? 29? Wake me when he puts together a second top notch season like 2018.
December 17, 20196 yr Author The Rays (much more competent front office) gave up Aguilar for nothing. It wasn't a financial decision since he doesn't make that much. That tells me not to get too excited about that acquisition.
December 17, 20196 yr aguilar has one very good year. he isn’t good at 1b. He isn’t that great of a hitter. He is what? 29? Wake me when he puts together a second top notch season like 2018. He was pretty solid in 2017. He hit 16 HR in only 311 PA. If he was given regular playing time he would have had at least 30 HR. Whether looking at his OPS+ or wRC+ he is about 10% better than league average in his career. His walks and strikeouts both improved. His BAbip dropped a bunch, but I expect it to improve a bit back to the mean. The biggest thing I saw was that his GB% went up and his hard hit FB% went down. Probably pitchers exploiting him, but players can adjust. I still think he has a good chance of rebounding. On a rebuilding team like the Marlins we have a chance to be patient. Rays need to be sure that the guy will perform. He's not a definite game changer, but a low risk player for us that could pay off big.

He also had an .837 OPS in 2017, so it wasn't just "one very good year." The Marlins also got him for nothing. I get that you have to hate on everything Marlins, but being objective wouldn't hurt once in a while.

Solid, solid pickup.
December 18, 20196 yr I dont hate on everything Marlins son. I was very complimentary of the Villar move. Solid, solid pickup. It feels like folks are forgetting about the Villar/Aguilar moves. The Marlins added $12.5M in payroll there, they ate another $22M+ in Chen (probably in part because they weren't willing to move a prospect just to get some money back), and now folks are whining that the Marlins aren't being spendthrift? It's crazy how two weeks can change the winds around here.

It's crazy how two weeks can change the winds around here. The 2020 payroll including Chen, Villar and Aguilar is still the lowest in all of baseball by a large margin. They’ve walked away from guys they were linked to because they “wanted too much” even though what they wanted was fair market value. Yes, they are cheap until proven otherwise.
December 18, 20196 yr They’ve walked away from guys they were linked to because they “wanted too much” even though what they wanted was fair market value. This is the big key right here.
