2013 Miami Marlins Thread: Looking Forward

[HUGG]

That wasn't directed at you mima.

[emkayseven]

odds payroll is under $60 mil this year?

[Mainge]

What's it at now?

[MiamiHomer]

Wasn't it around 85mil with Hanley and Bell. So take out Hanley and some of Bell and could go from there. Lou probably has that answer on hand.

I'll go 2.97%

TIL Logan Morrison is represented by a shape. I'm assuming he lives on Sesame Street.

[emkayseven]

once they move Nolasco it's as good as done, and they'll probably find a taker for Buck too. They're not signing anyone this offseason, so there it is. Round out the roster with a bunch of minimum guys.

C Brantly
1B Morrison
2B Solano
SS Reyes
3B Dobbs (but they'll give Cox every chance to win the job)
LF Petersen
CF Bonifacio
RF Stanton

Johnson, Buehrle, Turner, Eovaldi, LeBlanc. Cishek closing.

I really doubt that's the starting depth chart next season, personally.

[Valid]

I could see it. I just don't see Petersen starting in LF, though. I think they'll at least sign a stopgap. Dobbs might not be starting at 3B either, but that's questionable.

I also think they'll try and add a back-end-of-the-rotation starter along with the usual cheap bullpen guys.

[Miamarlin21]

Ruggiano may start in left? And I wouldn't mind bringing in Eric Chavez to start at third. Why not?

[Anonymous]

I find it hard to believe they'll start Dobbs, Solano, and Bonifacio, Peterson over Ruggiano, and Leblanc in the rotation.
