    That honestly speaks more about how awful our catching depth is than it does about the talent level of Liam Hicks. Who knows. Maybe Agustin can actually improve enough defensively to make Nick Fortes obsolete. But I'm not buying into that. Agustin just screams 1B/DH material.

    Tell me, what realistic catching options did Bendix have over the offseason that wasn't going to require a commitment? The easy answer is, there was none. Unless, you want to run it back with a Christian Bethancourt with a 26 wRC+. The best there could have been was a waiver wire claim. Which would have put up more or less the numbers Nick Fortes would put up anyways. It's a 105+ loss season. Why bother?

    Let me take a wild guess. Tommy John Surgery.

    Thomas White making his MLB debut in 2025? No. NO. This is a lost season. We're not anywhere close to contending. We will lose 100 games BARE MINIMUM. There is absolutely ZERO reason to rush the progression one of our best pitching prospects in 20 years. If you have to promote anyone to do spot starts in the case of injury, bring up a AAA placeholder instead of ruining Thomas White. Kevin, with all due respect, that's not a bold prediction. That's a reckless prediction.

    I don't understand why. He's had 3 years of MLB experience and he still can't figure anything out. Now he's 27 and he's whiffing against Spring Training longshots. Putting him out there rewards mediocrity. Give that opportunity to someone else who has actually been putting together decent ABs and have been competing.

    You're talking to someone who has an unnatural dislike for Connor Norby. He's been acting like Norby's the next Lewis Brinson for the past 6 months and it's confusing why. It's best not to question them. As I said before in another thread, Kyle Stowers has had 3 years to figure out MLB pitching. Now he's 27 years old and he's looking overmatched against Spring Training longshots. I hope to see Heriberto earn that 4th outfielder spot instead of Stowers. At least he works counts and takes his walks.

    Very highly disagree with Stowers being on the roster. He has shown time and time again that he looks overmatched at the MLB level. Would rather begin the clock on Heriberto instead to see what he can do. Either way, we're looking at, bare minimum, a 105 loss season. Stowers has an option remaining, but he might just be a DFA candidate. Stowers is 27 and has proven he still can't hit at the MLB level, even against washed up pitchers well past their primes, and green prospects who have no shot to make a major league roster. Time is running out for him.

    To me the outfield picture should be Myers/Hill/Conine with Hernandez as the 4th OF. Stowers has had 3 years to get acclimated to MLB pitching, and has looked completely overmatched, even against pitchers who had no shot to crack their respective team rosters. He's 27. He's starting to run out of time.

    I was lowkey hoping that Heriberto was going to get more opportunities to contribute. He seems to be quietly breaking out in spring. With the Jesus Sanchez injury this might open the door for him just a bit more. If he impresses enough he might be able to make the team as a 4th OF if Stowers continues to struggle.

    If we actually had good starting pitching depth, Edward Cabrera would have likely been DFA'd by now. He should consider himself lucky he doesn't have any actual competition. Dax Fulton and Robby Snelling were the only starters of note, but theyre at least a year away before being ready for the majors. Thomas White is at least 2 or 3 years away, and Noble Meyer isn't impressing anyone.
  11. One Regend
    We are not getting Jasson Dominguez, and I have serious doubts that Marcelo Mayer is on the table.
  12. One Regend
    It really makes you wonder why they went way underslot with PJ Morlando just to land Carter Johnson in the first place.
  13. One Regend
    Edward Cabrera should consider himself lucky he doesn't have any real competition. Otherwise, he'd be diving even deeper down the depth chart and would be on the outside looking in for the 5th starter spot.
  14. One Regend
    Why is it always the Red Sox who make the Marlins their AAA team every time we pitch to them? I still remember 2003 vivid as day when we gave up 25 runs to them as well.
  15. One Regend
    Oh, I misread then. I thought you were saying his roster spot was in danger, but it was rather his starting spot. Yeah, his roster spot is for sure secure. He's a better defender than Edwards and Norby, and he's a significantly better defender than any current 3B option the Marlins have. He's their best defensive option in the infield by a mile, and that gives him value. The question is if he can get on base enough to justify keeping him on the roster.
  16. One Regend
    All three of those men are 1B/DH. Otto Lopez is a middle infielder who could potentially fill in at 3rd. Otto Lopez isn't competing with those guys. He's competing with Edwards and Norby. He's also competing with Serna, Sanoja, and Acosta, though most of those guys arent cracking the roster on Opening Day, barring an injury outbreak.

    He shouldn't go anywhere before the ASG. Trading him now would be a massive mistake. He needs time to build up the stock he lost from Tommy John Surgery. If he performs like even 2022 Sandy (I'm not asking for his Cy Young form), he should bring back a premium haul. That said, he's also the face of the franchise and the primary jersey seller. Trading him will also come with its own consequences.

    This was embarrassing to read. Who in the world is this proud of not spending on a team? That is truly disgusting. I get that we're a small market team and that we're not going to outspend the Mets or Dodgers, but this is an incredibly bad look on Bruce Sherman, and it leaves me not very hopeful that he'll spend even when our competitive window is open. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I want Jeffrey Loria back. He may have also been a penny pincher, and spent recklessly the rare times he did, but at least he actually tries.

    The last thing this rebuild needs is a PR mess. The less distractions this team has, the better.

    Pivetta was always a someone who had outstanding peripherals but never had the results to back it up. He's a constant headache to whoever team has him for that reason. He clearly has the talent, but has never been able to live up to potential. That said, I think the Padres grossly overspent on him. They've gotten beaten by other teams on a variety of Free Agents, and their deal with Nick Pivetta speaks more about their desperation to sign somebody, rather than how good Nick Pivetta actually is.

    Don't forget he was also pitching half his games in Coors Field. That ballpark has the tendency to deflate pitcher value in all of the wrong ways, even post-humidor. That can mess with a pitcher's head. It's why I don't view road splits from Colorado seasons as highly as some others do. Either way, it's a tank season. You're still losing 105+ games even with a marquee pitcher. Might as well buy low on someone and, if it works out, you could get a piece of the future back at the trade deadline. I mean, what else can the Marlins do at this juncture?
  22. One Regend
    If the infield defense improves (knock on wood), I could see Quantrill being a nice trade piece to get a prospect back in return. A nice buy-low guy for what's going to be a 105 loss season.
  23. One Regend
    Maybe Victor Mesa Jr and Robby Snelling if they overperform on a transcendent level, a lot of the reserves are injured, and Bellozo/Stowers stinks it up. But that would likely be mid-season, not to break out of spring training camp.
  24. One Regend
    I mean this is what happens when your entire farm system is loaded with either 1B/DH prospects or prospects you will never see with an exit velocity above 85, with literally no in-between. I have no idea what Bendix's vision for talent even is, if he even has one, but it provides a bleak outlook for us. Even if Agustin Ramirez and Deyvision De Los Santos both turn into studs, we're either fielding 2 defensive messes, or clogging up the DH slot.
  25. One Regend
    I'm not expecting immediate results from Sandy coming off TJS, but if he can reach 97 (instead of the 100 i usually expect from him), that'll at least be encouraging to see.
