Marlins Trade Everyone to Toronto, Receive lifetime supply of Maple Syrup

I think it's a positive. We start over, we weren't anyways with Reyes/JJ/Buck/Buehler anyways. So now we build around Stanton and a bunch of young, talented pitchers . Just need to do it right and I don't think this FO will do it right so we oh well. Enjoy really cheap tickets at a somewhat nice stadium I guess?

Except that we're paying Ozzie's salary and still have Nolasco.

Can someone more knowledgeable and helpful than I post one of those handy "this is what our line-up will look like next year" posts?? Seriously...

C - that kid we got from DET - swings like the guy from ol times.
1B - Morrison
2B - Solano
SS - Escobar
3B - ? Cox??
LF - Ruggiano
CF - Do they give the youngin's a shot now?? Ozuna...?
RF - Stanton

1. Nolasco
2. Turner
3. Eovaldi
4. Hand?
5. Sanabia?

.... I'm not as well-versed in the farm system as I once was.

With that said...does that line-up lose more games than we lost last year?? In all honesty I don't think we are THAT much worse...though our talent surely decreased. We couldn't score runs last year; that clearly won't be the reason for more losses...SP?? Let the young guns have a go I guess... They didnt post horrible ERA's last year in limited time.

Look like we'll be pretty much JUST AS BAD and we saved $200 mil, and got prospects (are they any good??)

BLAH.

Well, fuck.

[BigGameFish]

You can only be angry (and I am) if you thought we would be contenders next year (meh...)

[Ramp]

I didn't think we would be good next year, and I'm angry

or is that not allowed?

That makes no fucking sense.

Don't worry, Samson says they're just retooling.

All the players just took a paycut going to Toronto with the taxes in Canada.

I'd imagine this

C - Brantly (got him Anibal)
1B - Lomo
2B - Hehavarria (got him Toronto, could be a Bonifacio type)
SS - Escobar (got toronto)
3B - Kouzmanoff/Solano/Cox < - Intense competition
LF - Solano/B. Petersen/Gorkys Hernandez
CF - Ruggiano
RF - Stanton

SP - Nolasco (assuming not moved), Alvarez (toronto, should be good), Turner, Eovaldi, Hand, LeBlanc
RP - Cishek, Dunn, Ramos, Webb, Jennings, and 2 other club controlled guys


As for prospects being good, who knows. Alvarez is a good young SP, and there is another "top" outfield and P prospect in there 2 years away. Hehavarria could be a utility macier izturis guy? It's not very inspiring.

Jeffrey H. Loria (born November 20, 1940[1]) is an art dealer, noted cheapskate, and the owner of the Miami Marlins. Raised in Manhattan, Loria took an early interest in baseball, attending his first New York Yankees game in the late 1940s. Loria attended New York City's Stuyvesant High School[2] and Yale University, where he initially took pre-med courses. With a requirement to take a history class, Loria chose art history.
After college, he worked in a newly-established art-buying program for Sears, launched with the help of actor Vincent Price. In 1965, at the age of 24, he opened his private art dealing business, Jeffrey H. Loria & Co., on Manhattan's Upper East Side and wrote a book, Collecting Original Art. He specializes in 20th century masters. His collection includes works by Pablo Picasso and Henry Moore. Loria graduated from Columbia Business School in 1968 and published his second book, What's It All About Charlie Brown?, a look at life through the Peanuts comic strip (co-written with Pat K. Lynch). He is generally considered to be the worst owner in the history of professional sports.
