April 21, 20215 yr I know he's been struggling this year, but I think Brian Anderson deserves a full issue, not a side issue.
April 21, 20215 yr Author Unless they place BA or Coop on IL, they pretty much have to bring up a bat for that 26th slot. Bench is short with them day to day.

April 22, 20215 yr Speaking of Brian Anderson..... Weren't there a decent number of people clamoring to sign up Anderson long term for some ungodly reason last year and into this ST? I never got it, make him play out his arbitration years and figure it out from there. Only player on the active roster worth even discussing any pre free agency/buy out arbitration extension is Jazz and thats a year or two premature even. The rest, who the fuck cares. Hopefully that can change but a lot of who cares type players right now.

I was never advocating for the extension, personally, unless it was reasonable. I was with her when she said "let's see what kind of player he is" - right now he's just run into some absolutely god awful batted ball luck, and we're going to find out whether he can handle that mentally.

I wouldnt be surprised if Kim Ng has been talking to the cheap bastards in ownership about doing smart baseball things for a change, but they could also be waiting out the CBA as well. Pitching is stupid expensive. Fortunately for the Marlins, that seems to be an organizational strength.

April 22, 20215 yr Just now, Michael said: And we'll have to start exchanging some of that pitching for some hitters soon enough, if our guys can't cut it. That was going to have happen naturally because the Marlins didnt/dont have the organizational depth to account for it all, especially within the infield even if all the prospects panned out. The infield depth (to especially include catcher) is pretty fucking thin.

April 22, 20215 yr Author I continue to be amazed at how well @Das Texan knows the fish system since he isn't a Marlins fan.
