SirFishFan Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Getting Cabrera and Garrett healthy again and back in the rotation. Those two plus Weathers will form a new power trio. Marlins will win 70+ games this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even signing someone on the roster longterm wouldn't do it. Not like that'd happen anyway. Have to be realistic though. Chances of Bruce + rest of Marlins ownership group selling team during 2024 or even in the next several years is slim to none. If you’re basing your happiness of the 2024 on the Marlins getting a new owner. Might as well just give up now and be sad here in April. A more realistic wish will be for the Marlins to not lose 100 games. Come to think of it. My wish for a successful 2024 season would be to see the return of former MB.com regular @SonOfJack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to factor in lizard, Scott and probably arraez will be traded which will make 70 very tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott will be gone and Bender will be the closer. However, I think if Cabrera, Garrett and Weathers pitch good as a trio with Rogers and whoever also in the rotation.. plus Jazz and Burger and Nick Gordon and Bell and Jesus Sanchez in the lineup. Marlins have potential to go from a 100 loss team to an 85 loss team with 70 or so wins. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollythewog Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 (edited) I think jazz is on verge of actually finally breaking out into a star if he stays healthy. His pitch selection has been outstanding so far, BBs up, Ks down and still hitting ball hard. Eventually it should turn for him and soon Edited April 11 by pollythewog 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one thing he might be okay at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pre-season prediction was that we'd get 81-82 wins, but that's ticked down obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystikol87 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 The starting pitchers rehabbing effectively. Even without Luzardo, they can still have a strong staff next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
