Hech, Ruge, Ozuna Carry Marlins in 14-2 Thrashing of Philly

[HUGG]

I just didn't understand what that brought that on. Seemed to come out of nowhere.

[Miamarlin21]

I read the "yeah, that' gonna happen" as a response to Ozuna and Stanton hitting together. I guess it was for the other part.

And Mainge, isn't Yelich known for having a high average?

[HUGG]

Morrison is a career .787ops/.192iso player, and I really think last season was more a product of injuries than anything else.

I'll be stunned if a healthy Morrison doesn't put up an .800 plus OPS. I can't wait til he gets back.
--------------------

Yelich probably isn't going to hit enough to be a viable, above average first baseman

Also an NL league average 1B in 2012 was .266/.336/.442 (AL was .257/.336/.441).

Do you think Yelich will not be better than that?

[Mainge]

and LoMo will?

Where'd I say that?

What does that have to do with anything?

I think that's probably about what he'll be.

[Miamarlin21]

You said Yelich won't hit enough to play first. Did you mean as in power?

[Mainge]

I meant as in OPS but power is a big part of that equation.

That being said, if all 3 OFers work out and that happens, I won't complain.

[HUGG]

Morrison is a .250/.339/.442 hitter in 1146ab while having a .281 babip

Last season sucked, but he also had a .248 babip.

The 2nd half of 2011 he hit .220/.311/.440 with a .229 BABIP. .229 and still managed a .750ops.

He's going to explode, I hope he's still on our team when he does.

[Miamarlin21]

They have him hitting leadoff in Jacksonville. I wonder if they like him there or they just want him to get as many at-bats as possible?

[HUGG]

Yelich makes sense as a leadoff guy. He's not a big-time speed guy (BEINFEST BALL LULZ) but he has the necessary on base skills.

Isn't he? I thought that was a big plus when he was drafted

He's a prototypical number two hitter, IMO.

[Miamarlin21]

He stole 32 bases in 2011 and 20 last year.

[HUGG]

I mean he's got speed, I just meant he's not a burner type. He's got above average speed. It's a plus.

[Junior]

Miguel Olivo left 10 men on base.

When is LoMo legible to return? Is it at the end if this month or start of June?

June 1st, but according to MarlinManiac they will hold him out until mid June
