TheMarlinsProject Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Marlins just reached an agreement with him. Top internatinal prospect. This is huge. Trust the process. With patience we will reap the rewards. I don't think some realize what is going on here. WE ARE BUILDING A DYNASTY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyggyMarlin Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Apparently Solano at #44 is all the Marlins are doing in the international pool... https://www.mlb.com/prospects/international/ They better be using money to buy bats this offseason Edited August 26, 2021 by CyggyMarlin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaiwanMarlins Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 It seems almost all the Latin American infielder prospects are “SS” … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some fans are happy moving the goalposts every year and saying "just wait" and "trust the process" and stuff like that, but I'm done waiting to see the ownership actually try. We can't just eternally wait for prospects and more prospects. The front office has to know when to add via free agency and that time is this off-season. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, JT Realmuto was a shortstop and is known as a great athlete. The theory is that if you can master SS, you can play anywhere else in the field. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a great farm system but they still added pieces like Machado... I get the feeling our FO wants to go all-prospects and save money.... The stadium and tv deals should bring in extra money, but if this franchise wants to still play the Poverty Card next season, I am out 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone that may or may not pan out in 3-5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish53 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Having a consistent high ranking minor league system is the goal. Except, as good as it is, ranking wise, have you seen the overall batting average throughout the organization? Cause for concern as we will continue the process in perpetuity.

1.618 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Even if the process of controllable talent was sufficient, the FO and our manager are not qualified IMO. It’s a higher stage of expertise that they don’t seem to possess. So we must spend just to compensate that alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I’ve seen a noticeable shift in viewpoint here from “it’s part of the process, give it time” to “time to put up or shut up” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
