    Troy Johnston is currently a better bat than De Los Santos (vastly better in DWL this year). I don't see De Los Santos making any kind of significant contribution in the majors - or Johnston for that matter. Maybe the Marlins could make him part of a trade package for a real difference-maker.

    More on the above: You don't trade a star hurler like Gallen (indirectly) for three Yankee prospects who are very long shots to be major league regulars.

    Ely, I noticed your post on the Royce Lewis trade earlier today. I think the key to getting him from Minnesota (I have often dreamed of getting Lewis) would be Ryan Weathers, who came on strong last season. Weathers and Ramirez, not Mack. I am very disappointed in the package Marlins received for Jazz. Somehow, some way, the Marlins needed to capture Dominguez from the Yankees in that deal. Dominguez and Lewis, health risks that they are, have the potential to turn the Marlins offense around.

    I'd give Kelly Sako a shot at the play by play. I'd pair her with Rod Allen.
  5. Slacker Mills
    The team should know what they have in Fulton at this point. He should pretty much be in the best shape of his life.

    I was very happy with Chisholm's all star play at second base. Some of Arraez's impact with the Marlins was lost due to the dropoff from Jazz to Arraez at that position.

    Yes, it does. Simon, Sanoja, Edwards, Lopez, Serna are all members of the Lollipop Guild. And I'm a fan of Munchkin Land! Speed and defense works for me. Simon winning the MVP of the DWL is huge to me. Nobody hits for s*** in that league.

    I'd give De Lost Santos about a 20% chance of being a 1.00 OPS+, or average, major league hitter at some point. He has a couple years in AAA to work things out.

    My official guess at Bendix' salary is $135,000.
  10. Slacker Mills
    Does anyone know how much Peter Bendix is being paid? I'm guessing it's damn little.
  11. Slacker Mills
    I wonder if the new manager will take a cut in pay moving from LA first base coach to Marlins Manager? Wouldn't surprise me.
  12. Slacker Mills
    The fact that the new manager already resides in Jupiter is plenty of reason to take the Marlins job, in and of itself.
  13. Slacker Mills
    All the guys linked to the Marlins job have something in common: No Managerial Experience. Nobody knows how any of them will handle the hot seat. Actually, it's barely even a warm seat in Miami, so not all that much pressure.
  14. Slacker Mills
    "Potentially" great was my description. Do I forecast that? Heck nl.
  15. Slacker Mills
    Undesirable? Maybe. However, managerial jobs are in short supply and many coaches out there would love one of those precious jobs. While the Marlins have a s***** lineup, they have a potentially great pitching staff. That's something. The new Marlins manager will not have to suffer the pressure of winning either. I'd like to see someone like Juan Pierre come out of the woodwork. A manager that's focused on small ball - bunting, base-stealing, and defense - would have some personnel to work with such as Edwards, Lopez, Sanoja, Myers and Serna.

    Seeing how a 4.50 ERA would be considered a disappointment for any of the starters you have projected, I don't see where hiring Junis would be helpful. I would prefer to see how Mazur, Snelling and Meyer fare in the spring once they receive tutelage from their new coaches, whomever they may be.
  17. Slacker Mills
    That's an entirely fair assessment!
  18. Slacker Mills
    For me, the team would look a whole lot better if Teel had been drafteded over Noble Meyer. How in the hell do you pass on anther Adley Rutschman?
  19. Slacker Mills
    Dax Fulton is a must-protect prospect. No way I trade Cabrera. He could very well be one of the team's top pitchers next season.Same goes for Luzardo. He, along with Alcantara, Garrett, Cabrera and Weathers make up the rotation to start the 2025 season. Mazur, Snelling and Meyer are in the wings. No way I protect Stowers, Hill or Conine. Brujan has disrproven himself over and over.
  20. Slacker Mills
    Lefties Snelling and White. Which will have the better career? Could be a toss-up.
  21. Slacker Mills
    Marlins can field an exciting, interesting team with existing talent. One thing that can be relied upon is speed. A starting lineup that would feature Sanoja, Meyers, Sanchez in the OF and Edwards and Lopez in the IF would keep strikeouts to a minimum (except for Sanchez), play good defense, and steal 20-50 bases each. I am clearly in the minority, but I see Mack behind the plate with Fortes. Mack actually outperformed what Realmuto did in the minors at the same age. Alcantara, Luzardo, Garrett, Cabrera, Weathers, Meyer, Snelling, Oller, Bellozo, etc., along with Perez should provide ample rotation depth even if three or four bite the dust.
  22. Slacker Mills
    Don't know why Norby couldn't play left field. He isn't good enough to play at third. Otto Lopez was all world at second base and his offense is just starting to shine. Another option is first base. The Marlins need a first sacker who can catch the short hops and prevent infield errors. Imagine how much stronger Edwards' numbers at short would look if not for the egregious misplays by Burger and Bride. First basemen like Freeman, Goldschmidt,, Guerrero, etc. make those catches routinely.
  23. Slacker Mills
    Based on WAR and OPS+, Xavier Edwards left Arraez in his dust this season. Hopefully, Arraez will most be remembered for the prospects that Miami received in the trade that sent him to the Padres.
  24. Slacker Mills
    Rotation: 1) Alcantara 2) Luzardo 3) Garrett 4) Cabrera 5) Weathers 6) Snelling 7) Meyer 8) Oller 9) Bellozo Expect Alcantara to be traded if he begins the season with high success rate, same for Luzardo Catcher: Joe Mack, Fortes and Ramirez 1b De Los Santo, Connor Nordy 2b Lopez ss Edwards 3b Bride rf Sanchez platoon with RHB cf Dane Meyers lf Conine platoon with RHB

    Hard to see playing time for the Marlin delegation. They'll get the required minimum innings, I guess.
