The 5 best first basemen in this year’s MLB free agent class
Hippyboi replied to Kevin Barral's topic in Miami Marlins Talk
No way they will spend money on the top 2 and the back end 3 are no better than Johnston Wagaman. I think Diaz is doing well in Asia -
Liam Hicks: The Marlins Rule 5 success story
Hippyboi replied to Alex Krutchik's topic in Miami Marlins Talk
Only the marlins would consider a below average hitter, poor fielder and slow runner a success. Hopefully, Mack starts next year and Liam "the success" Hicks is gone -
McCullough seems to get stuck on favorites: 1. Hicks at cleanup 2. Wagaman plays against righties (against anybody) 3. Faucher is our closer 4. Simpson is allowed to wear a uniform No experimenting for next season: 1. Henriquez as closer or more than one inning 2. Johnston more time against lefties which he hit well in the minors. Start at 1B 3. Pauley and Acosta move all over the field without getting time to settle in at their preferred positions. Base running errors that coaches should have been in player's ears about before hand: Just last 3 games 1. Marsee trying to steal 3rd with 1 out down 2 runs 2. Wagaman not aware Edwards might steal 3. Ramirez not knowing there is only 1 out. Doubled up on a pop up 4. Johnston out by a mile at home

I can. last night: Ramirez swings at 3-0 and doesn't know how many outs - bench should inform Wagaman swings when Edwards is stealing - bench should warn Doesn't pitch to Schwarber and says he didn't want Schwarber to beat him, but with 2 out a homer would have only tied it. Then they almost lose He wins anyway - manager of the year?

As playoff hopes hang by a thread, I really question bringing back Cabrera. The risk vs reward doesn't balance out for me.

Marlins match best 10-game span in franchise history
Hippyboi replied to Ely Sussman's topic in Miami Marlins Talk
Agree on the bullpen, especially bring Simpson into high leverage situations I'd keep working with Gus at catcher in the off season. If we don't see progress try him at first base in the spring with DH as his backup slot. Mack behind the plate will be a huge upgrade and Alderman is raking at Jax. I hope they bring back Troy Johnston at 1B.- 9 replies

Shrimp boat: I am thinking Alderman and Mack earned long looks at starting with Mesa a longshot. Snelling is a sure starter and if T.White gets stretched out I'd expect to see him in September. J.White and maybe Roa replace 2 relievers. That would be 6-7 more rookies. McSweeney came out of nowhere to give them some great innings, but not much said about him. Maybe a replacement for Bellozo. Trade Sandy - add 8 and we might have the cheapest, youngest roster in history.

Offishial News: The overcrowded Marlins outfield
Hippyboi replied to Ely Sussman's topic in Miami Marlins Talk
1. Hill and Myers have to be dumped 2. Stowers Marsee - 2 starters 3. Alderman - We hope is #3 Griff - HH - Mesa - Johnston - Wiemer We keep 5 outfielders. None of those 5 bring back much, but all have potential. I hate to say this, but maybe we trade Stowers if he can bring back 2 (1 major league ready ) top 100 players. Once you go there: Trade Sandy for 2 - leaves Perez Cabrera Weathers Garret Snelling with Myers (who I have personally given up on ) or Mazur with White at mid-season I'd move Edwards if I could get something and move Norby to his preferred 2nd base with Acosta / Sanoja as possible replacements and Pauley on 3rd Ramirez DH Mack C -
It is getting hard to watch. A few Snelling starts before the season ends would add some interest

Johnston hit 300 against lefties in AAA. I'd like to see him get a some at bats against lefties. The season is basically over. Let's see what we have. Marsee benched for Hill against lefties makes no sense to me. I'd bring up Mesa and see what he can do on a long leash.

Hard to determine if he is the guy we saw in the AFL 2 years ago and AAA the last 2 months or the not so great year and a half in between, so I'd probably wait. As to the cheap Marlins, they will never give him or Perez extensions - IMHO. I'd like to see Johnston get at bats against lefties the rest of the year, so we know if he can be an inexpensive. contributor next year. I'll take him over Myers and Hill.

Marlins outlasted by Blue Jays in 12-inning marathon
Hippyboi replied to Hector Rodriguez's topic in Miami Marlins Talk
Snelling is on fire and I can see why he was so highly rated in 2023, but I think he is being held back at AAA because of not wanting to advance his future pro contract. I'd like to see him come up and White take his place at AAA.- 2 replies

Offishial News: Connor Norby nears return to Marlins lineup
Hippyboi replied to Ely Sussman's topic in Miami Marlins Talk
Pauley had a higher OPS and a better glove than Norby. Remember they converted him from second where he said he preferred to play. I agree - try him at 1B and leave Pauley at 3rd -
Acosta to 3rd base. The guy is a plus fielding shortstop. Let Lopez move around and let's se what Max can do.
-
Statring Acosta at SS where he has played all year might have given him more confidence in his first game.

Acosta gets moved to 2nd base for his first major league game - error and 2 strikeouts. I would have started him at ss where he is more comfortable. Move Lopez for a day. We had a nice run and now it's time to throw it in and see if there is magic in the bottle at AAA. Snelling over Quantrill maybe
-
I liked Myers early on, but the advanced metrics predicted what he has become. A good field, good run 5th outfielder. I question sitting Marsee against lefties. I question the early pinch hitting for Johnston as well.

The Curious Case of Eric Wagaman’s Nine Lives
Hippyboi commented on ForeverMarlins's blog entry in Forever, Marlins
I'm not sold on Mesa either, nor am I sold on Weimer or Berry, but I am 100% done with the little league 3, so why not give them a chance now.- 8 comments
