    Max Meyer: Drafted in 2020. Players who were drafted after Max Meyer: Garrett Crochet, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Jordan Westburg, Masyn Wynn. I've already gone over the 2019 draft on my Twitter/X profile. Jeez, just how awful was D.J. Svihlik and Michael Hill?

    Bryce Eldridge doesn't seem like a fit for the Marlins. Even though he might be a more complete hitter than De Los Santos, that doesn't change the fact that 1B is a logjam waiting to happen. Agustin is almost a sure lock for 1B if he isn't DHing, because simply put, he does not have the chops to be a backstop. De Los Santos can only play 1B/DH (his play at 3B was abysmal, to say the least), and Liam Hicks has played well enough to earn the Catcher spot. If anything, we should be looking for prospects who can play 3B, because as far as I know, we don't have anyone in the pipeline who can play there. No, I'm not counting Graham Pauley, and I'm not counting Jay Beshears. They aren't coveted prospects, and neither are producing enough to consider a serious look at 3B. As well, I've been having serious doubts about Connor Norby as of late. Look at this Baseball Savant spread. That's not the hitting profile you want to see as a future 3B. It's better for the Marlins to look for prospects at the hot corner, with a major emphasis that they can STAY at the hot corner. We don't need more 1B/DH types.

    I couldn't agree more. On this team, maybe Eury Perez and Agustin Ramirez could be star talents, but right now, they're nowhere close to being one. Their farm system isn't much better on that front, either. I could maybe see Thomas White being an All-Star in the very distant future, but honestly, nobody else in their farm system screams superstar to me. There's not a single player, both on this roster, and in their farm system, that I would handily give a 7+ year contract extension to. Maybe you could make an argument for Eury Perez, but all they'd accomplish would be wasting his efforts on the mound, because they have no awaiting superstars in their farm system. That's how dire the situation is right now.

    I'm not a supersub, but since I've already posted, I'll predict anyways. Nationals win 2 out of 3. Josh Bell MVP.

    I'm a bit worried that most of our prospect pool are guys who I don't see as future superstars. Thomas White is honestly the closest we can get to one. Even our best position player to date, Kemp Alderman, hasn't been lighting it up. For a guy known for his tape-measure shots, he only has 6 HRs on the season. If you exclude Heriberto, who is currently in the majors, he leads all of the Marlins minor league system with 6 HRs. There are 4 players in the minor league leaderboards who have more than double that amount. That's a pretty sad fact, honestly.

    That should honestly tell you everything you need to know about how the season has gone for John Cruz. He is having a miserable time with Miami. Would not surprise me if he gets cut among the usual minor league releases the Marlins do from time to time. It's a shame. He had a .907 OPS in 2023 before the Marlins dealt for him, and he hasn't produced since. It just goes to show hard the transiton is from RkBall to Low A. And John Cruz is the unfortunate reminder of this.

    I wasn't expecting an instant return to form from Eury Perez in his first start in MLB in over a year, so I am willing to handwave this performance. I do expect better on his next few starts, though. But you did bring up a good point. I really miss Mel Stottlemyre Jr. I had problems with our pitchers giving up big hits with RISP and 2 outs when he was coaching for us, but I'd rather take that over... whatever the new guy is doing with our pitching. Dear goodness what a downgrade.

    I honestly do not buy into Edward Cabrera's success. He's had stretches like this before, only to regress to career norms. If he can keep up pace up until the Trade Deadline, we could definitely sell high on him and sucker a team into trading futures for him. I don't see his trade value getting any better at this point, and if the team he's traded to ends up transforming him into the star pitcher he was always hyped up to be, so be it. But I just do not buy into his success, knowing his extensive track record.
  10. One Regend
    I don't think Eury Perez isn't going to save the season. At most, he'll make this team watchable once every 5 days. I do see a faint semblance of the new core, but they're still a long ways away from emerging.

    No Urbina, no World Series championship. Simple as that. Most fans (myself included) will tell you, they will trade a generational talent for a World Series championship any day of the week. Doesn't matter what the player does away from our organization, a World Series championship is always eternal.

    Leave it to the Marlins to be the team that pisses away games to a team that can't do anything right. I hope the Marlins lose the series to the Rockies. Or, better yet, get swept. That would be peak hilarity and they honestly 200% deserve it.

    It's not a pitch clock issue. Pitch clock was implemented in 2023, and while he did have a rocky start to 2023, he pitched fine in the second half -- July onward. This has to be a mechanical issue.

    IMO, this is probably the most nothingburger of a season we've seen in a while. The Marlins aren't talented enough to have any playoff pipe dreams, yet they aren't bad enough to tank for prized prospects. Maybe that could change later with the trade deadline, but honestly, do they even have trade assets left? Maybe Anthony Bender, but honestly, I'm not seeing much. Right now, they're simply just a mediocre team. And being mediocre is way worse than just being bad.

    It's almost like they should've had Otto Lopez at SS from the very beginning, instead of stubbornly pigeonholing Xavier Edwards at SS. It's okay to admit you're wrong about a player you value and eat the humble pie you've been made. But it is so incredibly frustrating when the Marlins are always so much later at realizing this than the rest of the league, no matter who has been in office, whether it's Jeter or whether it's Bendix. It took them 108 starts at SS too many for them to realize Xavier Edwards doesn't belong at SS. It took them over 1000 Plate Appearances too many to realize Lewis Brinson wasn't as good as they had hoped. It took them 501 Plate Appearances too many to realize Isan Diaz was hot garbage. How much longer is it going to take them to realize Edward Cabrera isn't starting rotation material? It's so frustrating to see this team get lapped by 27 other teams in management decisons. (Not counting White Sox and Rockies for obvious reasons.)

    My brother in Christ, Meyer, you were given a SIX-NOTHING LEAD, IN THE FIRST INNING NO LESS, and you pissed it away. I don't want to hear any excuses on how the Padres have a legit offense and how they have superstar talent. I don't want to hear any excuses about how Ronny Simon had perhaps the worst defensive game any player could possibly have. You don't lose a game you lead 6-0 in the first inning unless you are a generationally broken pitcher. We drafted Max Meyer over Garrett Crochet and Pete Crow-Armstrong, BTW.
  19. One Regend
    You thought Isan Diaz was bad? Let me remind you about the 1056 plate appearances that Lewis Brinson had with the Marlins. That's 756 plate appearances too many for a guy who had 6 seasons with a career wRC+ of 54. (4 seasons of which were spent with us) They really tried to sell us on Lewis Brinson and their attempts backfired tremendously.

    I get that the bullpen was taxed, but I still think Faucher was left in 2 batters too many. It became clear right away that he was going to be unable to get anybody out in the Cubs batting order. I would've gotten someone up and throwing and warming up as soon as the first 3 batters reached base.

    I don't know why the Marlins front office is so stubborn on Agustin Ramirez being behind the plate. He physically does not have the chops to handle that position. Sure, he may have intangibles, but everything else is severely lacking. Only the Marlins are stopping themselves here. What's going to happen when Joe Mack torches AAA enough to be called up, and there's no room for Ramirez to remain catching? They're going to push him towards 1B. Why not start the process now?

    This Citrus Series might not be as lopsided this year. The Rays are a slightly better team than we are, but they are still a bad team. It can go either-or on who wins the first set of games. My money is on the Rays winning overall, but it won't be as lopsided as claimed to be.

    People are really sleeping on Kyle Stowers. As of 5/15/2025, MLB.com has come out with the most recent Hitter Power Rankings. https://www.mlb.com/news/4th-hitter-power-rankings-of-2025 ...And Kyle Stowers isn't on the list. Not even as an an Honorable Mention. I'm not expecting Top 10, but sheesh, not even a single mention by name in Honorable Mentions? He has a higher OPS than 4 of the players in the top 10, even. Criminally underrated.

    15-26 is a generous W-L record for the Marlins. And that was largely because they overperformed. If we were performing at what was expected, we'd be competing with the Rockies as the worst team in baseball. Feels like that streak of good luck hurts us more in the long term than it helps us. You might say "But the team is so much more fun to watch when they're winning". And while that is true, you're not looking at the bigger picture. We don't have any talent. At all. A lot of the talent we could be winning with, we've traded away. We need quality prospects. To get quality prospects, we need to draft high and draft well. To get quality prospects, we need to trade quality players that are within expiring contract range. If you read between the lines, that means we need to tank. Having a 79-83 record isn't going to help us draft better. We need 100+ loss seasons. It sucks, but that is the reality we have to deal with. And not just one 100 loss season, either. We need multiple 100 loss seasons. The damage the previous regime did with their absolute dud trades and drafts set us back a decade. We need to make up for that damage. Figures we'd overperform when we don't have any actual talent left on the team. Where was the overperforming when the team needed it in 2021 and 2022? But hey, Shoeless Joe Jackson can finally have a chance to be inducted in the Hall of Fame now, at least.

    Ugh. All it takes one single bad pitch to ruin an otherwise brilliant night. Sandy was cruising against the White Sox offense and that pitching sequence was just... no.
