Marlins Place Stanton & Mahoney on DL, Recall Ozuna and Hand

[HUGG]

OZUNA

ahehahehahehahe

god, we're dumb

look at this dickhead

[Namaste]

You were not alone in your thinking

This kid is a beast so far

Where do we put him when Stanton comes back

[Erick]

He's only had like 20 at-bats...


As for the Stanton question, he can play LF because Juan Pierre sucks.

[Mainge]

Yeah Pierre can sit.

[HUGG]

...at home, retired.

Preferable.

[Namaste]

He's only had like 20 at-bats..

Thank you for clearing that up, Erick.

[Jay]

...at home, retired.

Preferable.

I don't think we care if he stays at home, just that he is retired.

[tjfla]

They don't care about 2013 yet they're calling up all of their prospects super early for no reason.

Not saying you're wrong about what any of what your "sources" think...either way, Loria is an idiot.

Then again, he probably doesn't care because he might be selling before any of these guys become free agents, anyway.

The big reason Fernandez was called up was because Loria thinks he will bring in fans/merchandise and be a good story. All of the FO wanted him to stay in the minors until atleast the first month or so(service time) however Loria wanted him up and Loria gets what he wants

As for Ozuna,it's not like they had much to choose from on the 40 man-Ozuna,Jensen,Skip. So the thinking was bring him up and let's see what he can do

At the start of the year they saw the 2014 lineup as

C-Brantly/Mathis
1B-LoMo/Mahoney
2B-Dietrich/Solano(UT)
SS-Hech
3B-?
LF-Yelich
CF-Marisnick/Ruggiano
RF-Stanton
SP-Fernandez
SP-Turner
SP-Alvarez
SP-Eovaldi
SP-?
RP-LOOGY
RP-Dunn
RP-Webb
RP-?
RP-?
RP-?
CL-Cishek

Which pretty much meant if your name wasn't on the list u could be and prolly would be dealt by the trade deadline

All Ozuna being good means is it let's us think about trading Stanton even more. We are gonna probably have 5 guys(Ozuna,Marisnick,Yelich,Stanton,LoMo) for 4 spots at the start of 2014 so means someone is gonna have to go somewhere.

[Mainge]

Jesus this kid.

[dim]

C: Brantly
1B: Morrison
2B: Dietrich/Hechavarria
SS: Profar
3B: Olt
LF: Yelich
CF: Ruggiano
RF: Ozuna

SP: Fernandez/Eovaldi/Grimm/Alvarez/Turner

Yeah...I'm not getting my mind off this Texas trade possibility anytime soon (Forever THAT guy). I think come the July trade deadline we're gonna here this talk come up, ESPECIALLY if Ozuna can be productive in the majors and Marisnick can prove he's more than just a toolsy outfielder.

[emkayseven]

highly doubt they'd move Hech for Profar...think Profar would move to 2B, no?

[Mainge]

I hope not. Would be a waste

[HUGG]

If our MIF is Hech and Profar and Hech is the better defensive SS, why is that a waste?



None of this matters because we're not gonna trade Stanton to Texas anyway.

[Mainge]

Because do you think you'll get more value from Hech at SS and Profar at 2B, or Profar at SS and Dietrich or another better player than Hech at 2B? These decisions shouldn't be made in a vacuum. There are other players besides just Profar and Hech to choose from.

Plus, we don't know Hech is even better than Profar at SS. Isn't he supposed to be very good on defense?

[HUGG]

I don't know that, I was just asking. I meant in the vacuum of those 2 being our middle infield.

It's not like Profar couldn't move back to SS later.

Dietrich can also play 3B.
--------------------
Profar got a 65 grade defensively from BA, so he's pretty good. Hechavarria is/was considered the best defensive ss prospect in baseball.
