Don’t expect much from Mervis but it’s pretty impressive we got someone for Brujan who we were going to let walk for nothing in a few days.

When even the resident board miser can’t be too pessimistic about it, you know the Fish have done something right.

Tarnok is another reclamation project who will most likely fail.

Both are relatively young and worth the risk and the price is right.

Would this team spend some money to appease the players association ？

Probably traded for a bag of baseballs.

A whole bag?! Another Bendix masterclass.

They’re going to have to at some point.

Still in play.

Minor league filler allowed to be uninspiring.

Sherman, spend the revenue sharing money and gain some respect from the baseball world.

who is that

Scouting grades: Hit: 65 | Power: 40 | Run: 50 | Arm: 50 | Field: 65 | Overall: 55

The Salas family is one with longstanding roots in baseball as Andrew’s uncle and grandfather both played in the Minor Leagues, while his father, Jose Sr., was a member of the Braves system at the turn of the century. Andrew is the youngest of the Salas boys, which also include Jose and Ethan, both of whom have been highly regarded international prospects. Born in Florida before moving to Venezuela, Salas is bilingual and has long been trained by his father at the family’s famed complex where big leaguers have been known to stay sharp during the offseason. His background has made him uber-competitive and driven, with some scouts believing he is the most athletically gifted of the brothers.

As was the case for both Jose and Ethan as amateur prospects, Andrew sees the ball exceptionally well and backs up that eye at the dish with good swing decisions. The time spent facing pro pitching both at his family’s complex and in Venezuelan leagues makes him uniquely suited to quickly adapt to the rigors of organizational ball. Equipped with simple swing mechanics that feature very few moving parts, he often eschews power in favor of being a high-OBP, bat-to-ball hitter from both sides of the dish.

Salas carries the unique distinction of being viewed as a plus defender at two different positions despite his young age. While he sees the majority of his time at shortstop due to his skill set, some evaluators believe he may even better suited to center field as he enters the pro game, where the middle infield can often feature a logjam. His quick feet and fluid movements serve him well at both spots, whereas his double-plus athleticism enables him to seamlessly cover the gaps in the outfield.

The Marlins’ latest “this will be the guy” that either fades out (most likely), or performs well and is traded after a couple of years for 15 prospects that fail.

Nice!!!

Dodgers just DFA cartaya. Dix should grab him. I like the idea that 65% of the 26 man will bd dfad guys or former rays. Daddy dix baby!!

salas is closer to the day he hit puberty than he is to the day of his MLB debut

Doyers signed a Korean 2B which probably means it’s over for lux. Lux had .700 ops last year which would quickly make him the 2nd best bat on Marlins roster. Do your thing dix
