    Flotsam and jetsam. Yep. that's our club.
  2. Slacker Mills
    Not sure how you can not discuss the movement toward automated balls and strikes, arguably the biggest change the game will have ever seen.
  3. Slacker Mills
    It's just too much for the Marlins to pay for a cup of dang coffee. It's worse than Starbucks. Ely, I don't know what's going on with this team. They can't trade: Jazz gone for a catcher who only has value if he can catch ... and he can't.? Luzardo gone at lowest value point so we can talk about paying EVEN MORE for an arm like Corbin, Quintana or Heany?? It's madness.

    The Salas family must hold hands around the dinner table each night and give praise to the Marlins. Jose signed for millions in 2019 (and proved to be a bust) and now Andrew has received even more millions despite a similar profile to Jose.
  5. Slacker Mills
    I'd go with Luzardo any day.
  6. Slacker Mills
    Seriously, what was Bendix's job at Tampa Bay? It couldn't have had anything to do with what was happening on the field. I want David Samson back.
  7. Slacker Mills
    Well, Jesus Luzardo has a higher ceiling than any of them and will likely be cheaper. His trade was inexplicable, especially since he would have likely increased his market value as well.
  8. Slacker Mills
    And with all the trades for prospects, we can't point to a single sure-fire major leaguer in the bunch.
  9. Slacker Mills
    Let's get this right. Knowing that the team would be missing a starter in Garrett, knowing that the Luzardo was likely to be one of the best values out there at $6 million, knowing that the team had to spend $105 million in payroll, they STILL traded Luzardo for nothing?
  10. Slacker Mills
    No surprise whatsoever on Garrett's surgery. His dilemma was telegraphed by the total absence of reporting on his progress - or lack of it. Giving away Luzardo appears even more foolish now ... if that's possible. The Marlins got no benefit from that deal other than saving six or seven million. Starlyn Cabs won't ever cut it. He's Nasim Nunez without the wheels. Should have just kept Nunez.
  11. Slacker Mills
    What you don;t do if you want fans is trade a top ten lefty starter in the game (Jesus Luzardo) for Nasim Nunez (that's Starlyn Caba). Luzardo is a local guy, a great guy, and struck out over 200 batters in 2023.
  12. Slacker Mills
    I guess you can dream on Alcantara's performance in 2022, but in 2023, prior to his injury, he was certainly no better than the rest of the rotation. If all the starters are healthy this season, any one of them could be the statistical leader of the staff.
  13. Slacker Mills
    None of the projected OF guys are impressive, but Stowers looked really bad in particular. Perhaps nine or ten of the predicted pitchers will land on the opening day roster.
  14. Slacker Mills
    I couldn't put Burger anywhere near Jazz, who brings speed and an excellent glove (at least at 2b) to the table.. I feel certain that the Marlins will deeply regret trading Jazz (and hiring Bendix). Parting with Luzardo will prove to be another boondoggle I believe.
  15. Slacker Mills
    no Norby, Stowers, Mervis or Conine types
  16. Slacker Mills
    Don't need whiffers in the lineup
  17. Slacker Mills
    I have some hope for Snelling as the best of the lot. He could be another Weathers if he finds a little more velocity. His FIP after joining the Fish last season was 2.76.
  18. Slacker Mills
    The question is: Did the Marlins acquire any players that are a good bet to be better than average major leaguers? I'd say no.
  19. Slacker Mills
    Likewise.
  20. Slacker Mills
    My favorite return for Luzardo would have been the young CF Alcantara from the Cubs. Five tools.
  21. Slacker Mills
    Yes, another exceptionally bad trade. Luzardo is just a year removed from being a top twenty starter in all of baseball and acknowledges that he is as healthy as ever. Caba is a waste of time in all liklihood. Great gloves that can't produce offensively are plentiful.
  22. Slacker Mills
    Top ten for me are all pitchers. In any order, White, Fulton, Miller, Snelling, Mazur, Roberts, Millbrandt, May, Meyer, and Laskey,
  23. Slacker Mills
    I'm thinking that Snelling and Jacob Miller could stake claims to the rotation by midseason if needed. I'm casting a no vote for Bellozo and a very doubtful for Mazur.
  24. Slacker Mills
    My surprise pitchers of the year are Robby Snelling and Ryan Weathers. Adam Laskey is a sleeper that has caught my attention. He will easily land in my top ten prospects. Ramirez and De Los Santos will not.
  25. Slacker Mills
    Per baseballtradevalues (and I agree with this one) Xavier Edwards has by far the most trade value of any Marlin position player and is comparable to Eury Perez at the very top. His value was also two or three times higher than Burger. In the past offseason, Luzardo's value to the Cubs would have been multiple top five prospects, perhaps including Caissie AND Alcantara The Marlins are now in position to set an all-time record for the fewest homeruns for a season by a franchise..
