An interesting and extremely optimistic discussion.

Catching is somehow addressed with Betancourt, a catcher that the Marlins purchased for Rule 5 money ($100K)? The Marlins still need a catcher.

Josh Bell still a Marlin? The ups and downs of his career (consistent) tell me the Marlins will regret his opting in.

Jazz still in CF? I thought he was great at 2B. I believe he could be a much greater asset still at SS. Was there ever a detailed explanation as to why he can't play the position for which he was acquired for super pitcher Gallen?

Burger looks like a solid bat but is a liability defensively at 3B.

Gordon and Brujan? Can either one match the production of even Garret Hampson? Does either one have nearly the promise of Xavier Edwards? I'd give that a strong no.

My only agreement with the panel is that the pitching is potentially a strength. If any of the top five are traded, that strength takes a hit.
