    You don't see me arguing.

    I am going to write Mr. Loria and beg him for Michael Hill's GM gig.
    I can make the Fish relevant in two years.

    They have several pieces, they still need some work, but they are pointed in the right direction, if they don't pull that fire sale shit again, but come to think about it, that fire sale is actually looking pretty good.

    Adeiny Hechavarria starts at shortstop and is steady.
    Henderson Alverez is having a solid season coming out of the pen. 2.64 ERA and 1.21 WH/IP ratio are nice numbers.
    Mathis is a no stick, but good with a rookie staff, knows what he's doing backup catcher.
    I don't know yet about Marisnick or DeSciafani yet.
    Yunel Escobar, who they got in that deal but flipped to the Rays, I really, really like, but Fish are high on Hechavarria at short.

    They gave up a washed up Josh Johnson, Bonifacio who will never amount to anything but a utility guy.
    Buehrle better days are gone, Jose Reyes is an all star, yes, but is good for two pulled hammies a season.

    Marlins love Yelich (I do too) their first round draft pick, playing every day now, hitting .333
    I got no problems with Solano and second, I think Ed Lucas can be a good third sacker too.
    I love Ozuna's stick too, seen the guy shoot the gap like the best of them several times this season.

    Stanton is a proven big league masher, Lo-Mo also has a dangerous stick.

    The Marlin roation is actually not that bad at all, pretty good if you ask me.
    Fernandez is a BEAST, he is no shooting star, the kid will be a Cy Young award winner by age 25, he just turned 20 for the love of God.
    Ricky Nolasco's numbers this season are fine. 3.85 ERA and a 1.22 WH/IP ratio is much better than league average.
    22 year old Jacob Turner is going to be a good one, keep your eye on him, 3-3 this season with a very tidy 2.49 ERA, and just as tidy 1.18 WH/IP ratio.

    Closer Cishek is one of the leagues better closers, 21saves, type of guy you don't hold your breath on when he enters the ninth. K an inning ratio, 2.97 ERA, outstanding 1.09 WH/IP ratio. Gets it done when called on.
    Qualis out of the pen is having a stellar under the radar season.

    OK, this is how we make the Marlins relevant and contenders again.
    Dump Slowey, I like the kid, who's not a kid anymore, he's capable of hurling monster games, but more capable of throwing a garbage game.
    Dump LeBlanc, he's garbage. Sanabia will never be ready for prime time, see if you can move that 24 year old arm.

    Just get one, dependable starter to join Fernandez, Nolasco and Jacob Turner.
    Just one more good starter they need.

    Don't touch the bull pen, the regular five are good Ramos-Dunn-Webb-Qualis-Cishek are a good unit.

    Upgrade the catching position, Brantley has a decent bat, but you ain't winning with Brantley. Keep Mathis as back up.
    Get rid of noodle are single hitting Juan Pierre, get rid of Greg Dobbs, get rid of Austin Kearns. Polanco and Kotchman also.

    Get a power hitting outfielder, Austin Kearns is not the answer.

    This 2014 Marlin team can compete for a wild card.

    C Free Agent or trade
    1B Lo-Mo
    2B Solano
    SS Hecavarria
    3B Ed Lucas
    OF Stanton
    OF Ozuna/Yelich
    OF Free Agent/Trade

    SP Fernandez
    SP Nolasco
    SP Turner

    i love watching the fish every night and the rays. Alotta good baseball here in florida right now. I dont really watch my yankees cause they put to sleep(pre jeter/soriano). I've been saying for months that fernandez is rookie of the year and the 3rd best pitcher in the nl behind kershaw and harvey and he may be better than Harvey. In mia he is our Harvey his games are the only we go to lol.

    And that team is loaded with under 25 year old talent.
    Message to Hill, and Loria, sign the kids long term. Lock them up. Give Stanton what he wants, get some more pitching, you'll be fine.
    Don't move the kids for the love of God

    Who the hell knows with this owner honestly. I will say this tho, Stanton and Fernandez are our most popular and best players, if he moves them then it confirms he's just a cheap fukk and doesnt want a winning franchise. We fukking hate him(Loria) here for conning the city into building a new stadium that should've went to the damn dolphins just to sent the whole damn team to toronto. This guy better open up that check book.

    are you kidding me dude? I'm a life long marlin fan and that's never been the case. even if they all pan out well they will be gone within 4 years and we'll be at this shit again saying the same stuff...i'm pretty much done with these bums...haven't watched one game this year and haven't even seen em live and that's the first time in 15 years of missing a cubs-fish game or when they go to Milwaukee or the white sox in interleague....team is awful

    I know his story. Fernandez tried to defect from Cuba three times, three times he got busted as a teenager, three times he got thrown in Cuban jail.
    Fourth try he made it to Fla.
    Kid won't give up, gotta love the kid.

    Lol I don't think you know how baseball works. Ever heard of arbitration and free agency?


    He ended up striking out 14.

    He's given up 2 fly balls in 17 innings.

    I agree. If he played in a big market they'd be fellating him for 30 minutes straight every 5 days on Baseball Tonight.

    Fernandez first pitcher with back-to-back games of 13+ K since Randy Johnson in 2004. First rookie since Kerry Wood.
