Miami Marlins
Signed: SS Peter Mooney (re-signed), OF Isaac Galloway (re-signed)


Jeff still taking care of his kids. Isaac Galloway still has a job in 2018(HOW?)

[fish16]

Galloway back for more!!! He's actually gonna be a nice little story when he inevitably gets called up at some point. He actually played pretty well last year before injuries.

In addition to the re-signings mentioned above, 3B David Vidal was released. He hit .269 with 12 homers and 52 RBIs in 461 at-bats as a 27 year-old this year across two levels (AAA and AA). He had a good BB/SO ratio (55/89) and a .757 OPS.

RHP James Needy and C Rodrigo Vigil were re-signed for 2018.

I'd have a lot of fun as the new gm just going through the minor leaguers in this organization and just releasing bunches of them. That sounds bad because youre ruining young kids dreams, but i'd have a great time just purging this minor league system of guys who are only organization fillers and were only drafted/signed for monetary reasons and have no major league hope.

If you love team building and the business of sports like i do, rebuilding a team like this from the top up would actually be a really interesting challenge.

RHP James Needy and C Rodrigo Vigil were re-signed for 2018.

Vigil,Needy and Mooney were resigned because they are playing for Miami in the AFL(Shows how crappy our system is) none of them should even be in the system

AFL starts 10/10. Vigil,Mooney,Needy,Scott Squier,Ben Meyer,Miguel Del Pozo,Braxton Lee for us.

James Needy replaced Dillon Peters

Signed: RHP Esmerling de la Rosa (re-signed) | LHP Gabe Castellanos (re-signed)

Castellanos was hurt LY with TJ and de la Rosa is 26 in AA but has shown signs of life and is good depth

[geemoney]

P Jorgan Cavanerio was recently re-signed by the organization.

Hey its better than signing 26+ yr olds with Career ERA of 5.91 to pitch in A Ball. Cavanerio is 23 and actually looked great after being sent to the pen. Rather have us sign our own young guys unlike years past

[fish16]

I like that move. Cavanerio moved to reliever last year and in 45 innings in jupiter threw a 1.59 ERA with 41 K's and only 6 unintentional walks. And he ended the year in his last 10 appearances with a .87 ERA and a 22/2 K/BB ratio. I love seeing a nice purging of the scrubs in the farm system. Anyone who is a clear organizational filler can go IMO, but this guy at least showed a little bit of something as a reliever.
