Michael 5,359 Posted February 9 Good, I prefer it that way. Prado needs to be on the bench at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DTrain 896 Posted February 9 (edited) I think this move is a little weird. Why not give Prado 125-150 AB’s and see what happens? BA is a stud in RF. Are we worried we’ll lose a game or two more than if BA played the whole year at 3B and we’ll miss the playoffs because of that? I mean, I obviously don’t know if Prado endorses the FO’s move or whatever but this just seems weird.

Michael 5,359 Posted February 9 Actually y'know what, yeah, looking at all the defensive numbers, Anderson should stay in right. Can Neil Walker play third? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SonOfJack 1,997 Posted February 9 My biggest question is who are 3 starting OF if Anderson isn't one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean you’re not gonna get a valuable player in return for prado at this point in his career and with that price tag. The more important thing is do get Anderson re-accustomed to the spot he’s gonna be playing here long term I think. He’s a capable infielder, it’ll be easier to find a solid outfielder to fill that hole than a solid infielder Edited February 9 by marlinsmaniac (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilverBullet 10,125 Posted February 9 Very surprising but good move (maybe a signal that wins are more important this year?) But this does open the door for another free agent outfielder to be signed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SilverBullet 10,125 Posted February 9 Maybe Prado asked for a reduced role because of health issues? Preventing wear and tear on the hamstrings? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fanofthefish 273 Posted February 10 Will they use Prado in a utility role? He moved around a lot on the field prior to joining the Marlins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
