Marlins Expressing Interest in Shortstop Adalberto Mondesi

I disagree ... which is what forums are all about. No harm in a very modest bet on Mondesi. It's all about the physical exam that follows. Is he elite running to first base? Does he display the movement required for SS? No way I'm interested in Anderson or Andrus.

But even with a healthy Mondesi, what can you realistically expect from him?

I'm no fan of Andrus, especially at this point in his career, but it feels like Mondesi only compounds the Marlins' offensive woes. If they pick him up as a roving backup, that's fine... but as the primary shortstop, that's probably going to lead to some pretty ugly results.

I actually would love TA. Coming off his worst year, he’s 29 I believe and hated chicago towards the end. A change of scenery could be great for him, Analytically his Babip was way down and his launch angle was a career low, while also having a worst HH%. He chased at a higher rate as other years. I honestly believe a 1-2 year deal get him some different coaching try and get him back to his old self is worth it. If he sucks he’s gone the next year and if hes good and we suck we get a couple prospects at deadline and if he’s good and were good thats great. Could be a lot like the 2021 Marcus semien Blue jays year. I could see a big cheap comeback for TA. Low risk, high reward.

100% my thinking on Tim Anderson. He has pretty good rebound chances due to what you mentioned while the downside is very minimal.
