Marlins make a move! What else needs to get done this winter?

I make no bones about not liking Morel. He's a Chisholm-esque prima donna, imo. Still, I want him to go well for the team's sake, of course. I think not, a la Anderson. It's an inexpensive, low-risk shot that I understand. Based on the show comments, De los Santos has been somewhat rejuvenated in the Marlin plans. He's had a productive winter ball stats. Morel could be a reclamation project success or simply the bridge to Deyvison. I hope it's the latter and Morel is gone quickly, so he can take his self-absorption elsewhere.

The Morel signing pretty much confirms that the Marlins will not be signing a legit first baseman.

    For now, the Marlins will continue to use first base as a dumping ground for players who don’t have a position or are fringe MLBers (Wagaman, Hicks, Morel, possibly Agustin or Conine).

I hope it not anther eric wagaman  story.  That hurts the Marlins in First half again . Do think Marlins Have to come away with 3 to 4 More wins in first Half.   THEN trade bait. cause 1 year deal. But looks like high strikeout guy.  that will hurt. Has to improve on hitting doubles cause power not their.  If anything spring training will tell all.  But not on board with Starting someone because of Winter ball.

I'm of the same mind regarding winter ball veracity. Bruján had excellent Dominican League stats, if memory serves. Another point you made - one extra win per month last season and there's the playoff-goal 85 wins. But, as we know, every year starts from scratch. Merry Christmas.
