August 13, 20241 yr That’s what happens when you hired line 5 assistant GMs. When times get tough. The superfluous ones are the first to get sent packing. Wonder why Bendix needed so many assistants. Probably to make reports for him so he could sit back and enjoy the games. So basically the same as a GM in almost every company.. have your middle management do all the actual management work and you collect the big paychecks. Imagine if sometime within the next 5 years we read a headline that says like “group led by David Samson in talks to acquire the Marlins.” 😂

August 13, 20241 yr Dang, they spent less time in the IL than Jazz too. Those were the real all-stars.

He wanted to and was always the plan but since they just made the playoffs he had to pretend like they were trying this year

August 13, 20241 yr "Reports are the Marlins are overhauling their PLAYER DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT". Long time coming, our track record, or lack thereof, speaks for itself. I have no idea why anyone would have an issue with an issue with this. Yet another step in the right direction.
August 13, 20241 yr Let's hope Sherman doesnt get too gun shy and change the plan again in another 2 years or so. Hard to build anything when you fucking change the path of your front office very 2-3 years. Then again Bendix will allow Sherman to do what he loves most (which is make stupid profits), so he may stick around for a while.

August 13, 20241 yr These are 100% the kinds of changes they should be making. The organization is crap from top to bottom. That’s why good players come here and underperform, and players they develop here that never really played to their potential actually put it together when they leave. And on a completely different note, bring in the damn fences to citizens bank levels and start getting some offense in. You’re building around pitching but you can’t win if your own damn team can’t pop a 3 run jack here and again. Edited August 13, 20241 yr by marlinsmaniac
August 13, 20241 yr Greenlee was there a really long time. Back to Beinfest days if I'm not mistaken. He was probably pretty good to survive so many front office changes.
August 13, 20241 yr Media always portrays these things like the worst thing ever but nothing wrong with a new GM restructuring their staff. It's way too often for the Marlins but nothing wrong with this.

But do bring left-center and left in a little bit. They've only ever adjusted center and right-center.

Nah man, I’d say bring it in to the point that’s it TOO MUCH, then adjust it back from there but they need to drastically change the fences to get it to the point where the offense actually starts improving from it. It’s not just deep fences, the ball absolutely does not carry in that stadium when the roof is closed. So those two things put together with these Otto Lopez, Emmanuel Rivera, Brujan type guys that they love to put on the roster every year is just a terrible recipe

I've never understood why they've not done that.
