Offishial News: Marlins stick with Stowers, stack Double-A rotation with studs

Personal observations:

Norby and Lewis Brinson. Can't hit just like one another. Both the fastest guys on the team, yet neither can turn that into adequate defense or stolen bases. Talk of Norby as a "cornerstone" is basically just plain silly.

Nice batting order today. - not. Lopez should be batting second No way a total non-performer like Mervis hits third (or at all in my lineup). Stowers fifth? How about a hundred and fifth?

I'd love to see Sanoja, Acosta and Serda all in the lineup at the big park today. I think they are all better hitters than Stowers, Norby and Mervis. and would also be fan favorites for hustle.

Prediction time: Yankees 12 Marlins 1

Jazz Chisholm MVP

Stowers is only making $800k on a 1 year deal, cut his @$$

This is another move that our Jared Fogle look alike GM doesn't want to admit he's wrong yet again.

Why even have players to root for? Let's pencil Stowers in into the opening day roster, even though he has proven time and time again that he looks overmatched against major league pitching. Actually, calling it major league pitching is a compliment; he was struggling against LONGSHOTS.

Heriberto played his tail off this spring. He earned the spot handily. Why didn't he make the opening roster? It's not like the 40 man roster has every player that is actually worth keeping. It's not like they need Brett de Geus or Luarbart Arias.

This team is literally unwatchable. We have about 13 starts of Sandy Alcantara before he gets traded, and about 10 starts of Eury Perez. That's like 23 games actually worth watching... out of 162. Horrible.

Okay, I'm done being nice.

I have always disagreed with your takes, but this one is so bad it's actually impressive. Both strike out a lot, yes, but that's the only thing they share in common. Lewis Brinson throughout his entire career has never made contact with baseballs. And while Connor Norby has struggled with that, here's the part that really separates the two: Connor Norby has actually put up results. Tell me when at any point in Brinson's entire career he's contributed anything. He's not a perfect player by any means, but to compare him to Lewis Brinson is straight up just outlandish.

You should be more upset that Kyle Stowers made the team despite many COFs playing their tail off to earn that spot, and you should be more upset that this shows that this regime is making the same exact mistakes the previous regime made.

Come back to me when Connor Norby puts up 4 consecutive seasons of 72 wRC+ or lower despite being given an incredibly long leash of 1056 plate appearances.
