    No question, IMO, that Otto is an All-Star. Has a better WAR & DWAR than his main competition, C.J. Abrams & Elly De La Cruz. The one thing they have over Otto is the power numbers, which are a factor. The Marlins fan base is smaller, so this could factor in, as to whether Otto gets voted in, though the D.C. & Cinci fan bases aren’t huge.

    Due to this story, I crawled down a bit of a rabbit hole looking at the Marlins 2021 draft, checking to see where these players are now. Joe Mack, the #31 overall pick in 2021, is currently the only player from this draft on the MLB roster. Patrick Monteverde, the 8th rd pick in 2021, came up for a cup of coffee last year and could be up for another one this year. There are 5 additional 2021 draft picks who are still with the Marlins organization, according to ‘The Baseball Cube’. Sam Praytor 6th rd, Gabe Bierman 7th rd, Brandon White 12th rd, Holt Jones 14th rd, & Bennett Hostetler 18th rd. There are 2 Marlins 2021 draft picks who are with other organizations. Khalil Watson, the Marlins #1 pick in 2021 is currently with the Columbus Clippers, Cleveland’s AAA team. Could see him in MLB later this season. The Marlins 11th rd pick in 2021, Jesse Bergin, is listed as being in the FCL in the Twins organization, according to ‘The Baseball Cube’. The remaining 12 draft picks — there were 21 total — are f.a.’s or retired.

    The Paddack & Morel signings have been bad, to put it ‘mildly’. On a brighter note, the Marlins thought they needed Paddack, especially after Cabrera & Weathers were traded. Turns out Max & Junk have been as good or better than expected, having both put up numbers comparable to Eddy & Ryan, and Snelling continued his dominance in AAA, earning himself a call up. Turns out Paddack wasn’t necessary. As far as Morel, the Marlins were hoping for the 2023 version, but aren’t even getting the 2024-2025 version. Eventually Conine will be back, maybe by the end of the month. And Alderman is knocking on the door. Time is getting shorter for Morel & Caissie to turn things around. Looks like Leo is safe, for now. Still keeping faith that the Fairbanks signing will pan out & John King was obviously a good signing.

    Xavier got his chance when the Marlins DFAd T.A., allowing X to play ss. The beneficiary, on the Marlins roster, of the Arraez trade was Otto Lopez, who became the Marlins starting 2nd baseman (and eventually, ss.). What would have happened with Otto, if not for the Arraez trade, is unclear. The Marlins won the trade simply by clearing a path for Otto. And acquiring Marsee was icing on the cake, despite finishing 1-26 last season & struggling this season. The fact that the Marlins covered Arraez’s salary, post trade, was the stunner. This was no salary dump.

    Obviously, this move was necessary. Fortunately, the Marlins acknowledged the mistake and are moving on. After trading both Eddy and Weathers, the Marlins had several question marks in the rotation heading into the season and thought signing Paddack was necessary. Max and Junk have answered those questions at the MLB level and both Snelling & Braxton have pitched well in Jville. And Blalock & Gusto have pitched well recently, both going 6 innings in their last start. So on a brighter note, Paddack wasn’t even needed and unfortunately, other than the Yankee game when he pitched 4.2 innings of shutout relief and the Tiger game when he went 6 innings, he wasn’t much help. Only question now is, who starts Friday? Braxton or Snelling? Braxton pitched last Tuesday and did not have a good outing. If he starts tonight, then it will be Snelling, who last pitched Friday.

    Will be interesting to see if Agustin continues to strictly catch & DH in Jville. How the Marlins really feel about Ignoffo could determine this. If the Marlins feel that Ignoffo could help the Marlins, eventually, at the MLB level then it doesn’t make much sense to continue to have Agustin catch. Question is, where exactly would Agustin play? Some have suggested 1B, however the Marlins have DDLS as their primary 1B in Jville. Agustin does have decent speed. Have to wonder if corner outfield spot is in his future.

    There were some who suggested Meyer & Junk were headed to the bullpen, eventually. And maybe they will eventually but it’s looking like it won’t be anytime soon….

    Watching amateur baseball isn’t something I do, so who the Marlins should draft, I’m not going there. Having said that, when reading about this player’s defensive limitations I think about Jacob Berry. IMO, we could see the Marlins lean heavy into position players as opposed to pitchers. As of now, the Marlins strategy seems to be drafting/signing & developing pitchers, then trading them for position players. The Marlins inability to draft/sign & develop position players has been an ongoing issue for many years, going back to the tail end of Loria’s tenure. The F.A. route has also been a disaster for the Marlins. Fortunately, through trades, waiver claims (Otto), & rule 5 (Hicks), they’ve been able to put a MLB team on the field.

    Unfortunately, the Marlins will only be able to split the series 2-2. Kyle Schwarber will be the series MVP.

    No question that Caissie has looked lost at the plate, not swinging at fastballs in the middle of the zone and swinging at breaking pitches in the dirt. However, as Kevin mentioned, there isn’t any viable candidate in Jville to bring up which speaks to a bigger problem. The Marlins still have a long way to go as far as drafting/signing and developing position players. The fact that Rogers, Luzardo, Eddy, & Weathers were traded for 11 position players, speaks volumes. And not to mention the Arraez, which brought an additional 3 position players (and Woo Suk, too). The run of RH starting pitching the Marlins have faced — 18 in the last 20 games — has done 2 things. 1: Allowed Liam Hicks to bring his game to another level. 2: Exposed Caissie. IMO, Caissie stays for now. It’s still early and, right now, there’s no one else to call up. And the Marlins should not feel obligated to run Caissie out there vs all RH starters. If the Marlins were to send down Caissie or suffer another injury to a position players, depending on who that would be, whoever they bring up isn’t going to be much help or any help at all.
