Michael Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 I think it's funny we're trying BA out there before Jazz. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QbanCastillo Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Seems as if they try to do everything except what we suggest on here.  Also, are they trying to make BA request a trade off the team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it's not like he's at the level Yelich was at when he requested his ... lol. Team can just say "pfft eat pine, meat." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinsLou Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 This is a better idea than Sanchez FWIW. Maybe Garcia. Not sure. I'd lean yes. I think BA is a tremendous instinctual defender. His RF numbers were fantastic. If those are still true a few years later, this is more probable to succeed. It's a little desperate, but it may be the best of bad ideas. They could also trade for Kemp + Trivino and Kemp then helps as a backup IF if Anderson is the lion's share in CF. Basically they STILL need a bat and RP in most scenarios. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Let's not overthink this. He might have meant he's gonna start in CF and then walk over to LF by the time the first pitch is thrown. You never know with Donnie these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree BA would make a better CF than the rest of our OF. However, they want Soler, Sanchez and Garcia getting everyday at bats. For this to happen, one of Cooper or Aguilar would have to go with one of the aforementioned three going to DH. Also means Wendle to play 3B everyday which will hurt our depth/bench.  I like the idea but it's not without it's drawbacks. I guess they can keep Aguilar as a PH and back up 1st base so it would help us keep our depth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but we have a real need in CF and a capable 3b in Wendle. It would be short term hopefully, until we have a long term solution for CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Reeks of desperation. And idiotic. If this was ever a plan should have been done from day 1 of Spring Training. This tells you all you need to know about Jesus Sanchez in CF or even Avasial Garcia. Like anyone with half a brain could have told you would happen.

And then guessing they'd play Wendle at 3B.   We're probably reading too much into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 It's crazy that we have one glaring hole yet we have a surplus of players for everywhere else. It's like we need a CF yet we have like half a dozen guys who could fill in there in the meantime. Gotta trade from that surplus to help get a real CF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five guys solidified in the rotation and multiple guys ready to go at upper levels. There shouldn't be any reason for it whatsoever. If it happens, we as fans should file a grievance against the Marlins for service time manipulation. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's better 3B - Wendle LF - Sanchez CF - Anderson RF - Garcia or 3B - Anderson LF - Soler/Cooper CF - Sanchez RF - Garcia It's probably option A. Wendle is a high floor defender and hits just enough to eliminate the bomb of that LF/CF defense with the mashers. Of course this is stupid as get a CF and be done with this - it's probably acceptable to have Garcia, Anderson, and Sanchez play there cumulatively 15-20 games. But that's it.

This tells you all you need to know about Jesus Sanchez in CF or even Avasial Garcia. Like anyone with half a brain could have told you would happen. Jesus Sanchez has a minor injury, the plan is still to have him play CF. It has nothing to do with what they think of him in CF. Mattingly has compared Brian Anderson defensively to Kris Bryant so I’m sure he’s just giving this a try. It’s not a big deal, just a meaningless Spring Training game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Das Texan Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 What would have been smarter was to give Jazz an outfielder glove and tell him to get at it and learn CF. Â Since they are so stubborn that they refuse to acquire a CF that is halfway decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
