All of those above names plus others didn't need 3+ years to develop in the minors. I remember the Fish losing 2 starting pitchers just before opening day one year and bringing up a young kid named Jose Fernandez from Double-A to fill one of those spots and he never looked back! Marcella Ozuna was another who skipped AAA and was promoted from AA where he was tearing it up. He continued to tear it up in the big leagues and was never demoted. Harper and Soto both at age 19 were showing they belonged in the show, we might have one here in Santiago Solarte! Keep your eyes 👀 on this kid.

Fish bounce back once again and sweep Nats 3-0 riding on MVP Conine's shoulders!

I think we should rush this young phenom to the majors by let's say 19 years old just like Soto, Harper, Acuna, Elly De La Cruz and O'Neil Cruz were fast tracked. This is a kid playing amongst men but he is different than the rest of his peers at his level, just like the above mentioned stars were! 🌟 I liked this signing from the get go after reading about this kids skillset and huge upside and his domination in the Dom Rep Summer League only gets me more excited for his future promotion to the show!

Fish can't win or hit in Philadelphia, Phillies Sweep 3-0. Christopher Sanchez MVP 🫤

Hicks bat is being replaced by Joe Mack, Gus Ramirez and Griffin Conine along with Mack's great defense. We look fine going forward as these 3 are all in the line-up now raking balls everywhere while contributing to some important wins for us. Hicks had the same troubles as Gus had in not being able to throw out runners at the league average or above it plus he was slow of foot on the bases. Loved seeing his improvement at the plate but Mack beat him out at catcher and he got caught in the numbers game shortly after.

So happy to see Gus finally called up and driving the bus again! Agree playing catcher was very hard for him and just happy to have his dangerous bat in the line-up again at DH or 1B where he did play at for the Yankees Farm System about 20 times they say. He's definitely put that early slump behind him and ready to rock and roll like Heriberto has since his recall much earlier. Look at Bert now, carrying us along with Conine. Love seeing the improvement these guys are showing!

"Marlins All-Star right-hander Max Meyer underwent a cortisone shot in his side/rib area, according to manager Clayton McCullough". Should we ship out Max for a bucket of top prospects in the off-season and just be done waiting for him to stay healthy for a season? Or should we keep Max and just be happy he's still under team control whenever we get him back healthy from his frequent IL stays? My opinion on this is trade him and move on just like what happened with another 1st Rd Draftpick of ours, Braxton Garrett, who seemingly didn't recover fully from TJ surgery and was not the same pitcher anymore. To me, Max just appears to be too fragile to stay healthy and play a 162 game season. Sell high based on his outstanding numbers he put up in 2026 before his latest injury setback. What are your thoughts on Max Meyer going forward with the Fish?

Fact is that Esteury Ruiz in place of Marcy gives us better offensive stats in CF. He deserves the chance Marcy got the rest of the way in the 2nd half. Amazing that Marcy has not been sent down at any time this season to work on his hitting. Ramirez, Norby and Pauley all have had to go down after faltering at the plate time after time and Morel was DFA'd. First off, Marcy had a terrible WBC and batted leadoff for Italy but still didn't produce for them batting under the mendoza line for the entire tournament. Marcy also was last offensesively amongst starting CF's at the break. WTF happened?

I guess I got a little emotional seeing Max hit the IL once more. His career has been like watching a 40 something year old Verlander or Scherzer spend more time on the IL than the Diamond. You know if he stays healthy he's a good productive SP so it's frustrating. We should have held on to Jesus Lazardo and given him a team friendly contract to take over the mantle from Sandy. Luzardo is an Ace now and we had him! No one we got in that trade will beat the 15+ wins a year he's giving the Phillies.

Now Max lost to the IL with a pain in his neck while we lose our 7th in a row? That means his right arm is ok so then why is he not still in the rotation? So much for giving him a 10 day rest over the break. We can't afford to lose our best SP and to a neck strain? Come on, guys from yesteryear never went on the IL for something as minor as this. Players are making big money now and want even more, so that means they can pitch thru neck strains and take ibuprofen all day and go to work like the rest of us. I don't blame Max, the team is to blame for shutting him down after a 10 day rest and in the midst of a playoff run. A neck strain doesn't stop me from going to the gym. I smell something rotten here, could be Fish.
