the Yelich-Marisnick-Dietrich 1-2-3 in Jacksonville is gonna be fun

[dim]

Brian Flynn has done super surprisingly well this season. Whenever I check these reports he's always the player that stands out to me.

I'm very interested in see how Marisnick does. It's really important that he becomes a good player, as it's doubtful that Ruggiano and maybe Stanton are here come 2014, leaving us with an outfield of Yelich/Marisnick/Ozuna.

Isaac Galloway has started off well this season (Looks like he'll never learn how to walk).

I forgot Smolinski existed for a while. Even with Boni that Hammer trade was terrible for the get go.

[HUGG]

Galloway vs. Older Pitchers: .404/.424/.614
Galloway vs. Younger Pitchers: .214/.209/.333

He's hitting all the scrub FSL org filler guys and can't hit the actual prospects. He sucks.

Marisnick not play?

[HUGG]

0/4 k

[Erick]

It would be cool if Chris Hatcher could pitch half as well in the big leagues as he has so far in the minor leagues.

[dim]

Holy Austin Barnes. Was a beast in Greensboro and is batting .353 with an .871 OPS so far this year. Yes, he's a tiny bit old for where he's playing, but he was dominant against all pitchers last season and is doing the same this season. I wouldn't be surprised if by June we have Dietrich in the majors and Austin Barnes gets a shot at 2B in Jacksonville.

I also still have no idea where the Marlins want to play Barnes. He's played Catcher and 2B before, and is now DH'ing. I'm interested to see where they play him in the near future.
--------------------
Extra thought, but Scott McGough, the forgotten member of the Hanley Ramirez trade, is doing a good job in relief this season after getting the bump to Jacksonville. He's been a decent (not bad, but not great) kind of player and while it's a smallish sample size thus far, it's nice to see how well he's done. Add him to a guy who might be talked about for a bullpen spot in 2014.

They want Barnes at Catcher however Mathis is on a rehab assignment and Wil Gimenez calls a nice game so they are DHing him more to atleast get him in. The reason he was at 2B last year was cause he was having knee problems and had problems getting down.

As for Dietrich,he can play 2B or 3B so might even see him up at 3B if someone offers a deal for Polanco at the deadline
