Pro rated to 500 ABs Conine has an fWAR of 1.7 and an rWAR of 3.0. A WAR of 2.0 is the standard for starting position players in a full season. 100% disagree with the notion that he is merely "not much more than a replacement level player" based on the available numbers.

Plus he was only 129 days older than his dad was comparing their respective Marlins debuts. I know Jeff played a couple of seasons with the Royals beforehand, but his career didn't really take off until he was a Marlin. He had a fairy productive and long career after that point. I don't see any reason to think that Griffin is incapable of that kind of longevity.

I hope he does and I am wrong. Love to see Griffin succeed.

Nope, every player only lives up to their draft projections, no exceptions.

Marlins Expect To Activate Eury Perez Next Week - MLB Trade Rumors

The Marlins plan to welcome Eury Pérez back from the injured list for next week’s series against the Pirates, writes Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. The 6’8″ righty will be making his first MLB appearance since his 2023 rookie season. Pérez underwent Tommy John surgery last April and is now 14 months removed from the procedure. Miami has a full 40-man roster and will need to make a corresponding move once he’s officially reinstated.

...

It’s not all positives for the Miami rotation, however. Max Meyer landed on the 15-day IL with a left hip impingement before tonight’s loss to the Rockies. Manager Clayton McCullough told reporters (including Craig Mish of SportsGrid) that the issue has bothered Meyer for a few starts. The former third overall pick has struggled of late, allowing at least four runs in six of his past seven appearances. He had carried a 3.18 ERA with an excellent 33.1% strikeout rate into May but has surrendered more than six earned runs per nine since then. Meyer’s strikeout rate has fallen below 15% in that stretch, during which opponents are hitting .321.

Marlins To Recall Adam Mazur - MLB Trade Rumors

The Marlins will recall righty Adam Mazur to start tomorrow evening’s game against Philadelphia, manager Clayton McCullough told reporters (including Daniel Álvarez-Montes of El Extrabase). He’ll go against Ranger Suárez in his team debut. SportsGrid’s Craig Mish first reported that Mazur was likely to get the call. He’s already on the 40-man roster, so the Fish only need to make an active roster move involving a pitcher.

We picked up Colby Martin from Toronto for Robinson Pina. Which is more than nothing. Martin is a converted infielder who started pitching and is old for his level. He was a 16th round pick by Toronto and has a good K/9 rate but poor control.

Interestingly he hit a ridiculous .482 in college, albeit at the d3 level.

Likely nothing but we will take out Temu Ohtani and hope for the best.

Typical Marlins...

These dudes (pitchers) these days are absolutely sacrificing their long term health just to throw 100 versus 92. The human body cannot handle that torque and snap they’re putting on it in order to get those extra 5-10 miles per hour and the results are proving it. TJ surgery was fairly rare growing up, and to have two of them? Almost unheard of. Now guys are getting TJ in college and again in the minors/majors and even if they succeed a year or two they’re used up and retired by 28-30 years old. I’m a late 90’s baseball guy and back then you had guys that were 35-42 year old actually succeeding on the mound cause they had great changeups and sinkers and 2-seamers and big ol’ 12-6 curveballs. We really need to get back to that and avoid issues like Max Meyer quite literally shredding his entire body to pieces to hit 100 on the gun just to impress some scouts. Idk what happened to baseball but it’s ridiculous.

And don’t even get me started on the hitting side and how a .220 hitter is an all star 🙄 but that’s a different rant lol

Noble Meyer to the PJ Molando Memorial Injured List for prospects who can't baseball good with an undisclosed ailment

He's worse than last year. Barely a top 10 organizational prospect at this point if we are going off performance instead of hype.

Snelling dealing tonight 7ip, 3h, 0 er, 0 BB, 7ks
