I'm looking at you Stallings. I’m late to this party but I have never understood why we always go for power in our ballpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to think that if you have a guy who can hit a ball 470ft it'll bring people to the park even if that person only does it once a month and bats below .200 the rest of the time. I'm using a tiny bit of hyperbole here but it's honestly not far off from their approach and logic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she scouts the players by luck, she would say it's bad luck when she's fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Something that crossed my mind, I wonder how much of hiring Ng was a Jeter (and possibly Denbo) call as opposed to Sherman. I'm saying that with Jeter gone maybe Sherman is actually more open to replacing Kim than we think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Dix Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 In all seriousness - without any jokes, snark, or puns. Ng needs to go. She is not cut out to be an MLB GM. MAYBE she could get by on a team that is absolutely loaded that can almost self-manage but she is CLEARLY NOT the GM for the Marlins. I know some people will say she's only had one full season but she had most of the offseason following the playoff run in 2020 as well to identify needs and make appropriate signings and she's failed. I also believe that since both Jeter and Denbo have now left it's clear that the bizarre moves and/or lack thereof IS entirely KIM NG's doing. She needs to go and needs to go as soon as possible as she has done NOTHING to help this organization in the two offseasons and what will be two regular seasons coming up soon now that the deadline has passed and the Marlins are out of it. She's dead weight right now. The deadline was her last shot and she sat on her hands and made one tiny trade. Get her out of there. Take the PR hit. It's not like the Marlins will have fewer fans because of it. Seriously. She's been that atrocious at this job. i'm shocked and surprised she was/is this awful but it is what it is. She doesn't have the fortitude to be a MLB GM. Fire her. Yesterday. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just about seasons or time anymore either, I see it as key moments... trade deadlines, offseasons, etc. She continously fails. I was skeptical about pushing her out already because, while I hate the excuse, truth is rarely are GMs judged so quickly as building a team can take some time... but as she fails hurdle after hurdle I'm already good with replacing her. I'd assume she finishes the season and then I wanna believe Sherman has to question this thing sooner rather than later. Remember she was a Jeter hire, wouldn't shock me if Sherman has no problem canning her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
