Hechavarria to DL; Solano Recalled

[Miamarlin21]

As expected. Solano has been recalled.

The options for the Marlins infield get worse and worse..

[Bobbob1313]

This is the only one where you could say the option got worse, and I might argue Lucas/Solano is a lateral move from Hech.

he probably wouldn't be any worse than Dietrich is at 2b

[Big Z]

Dietrich makes the tough plays, and can't make routine ones. Weird.

Also, Lucas blows.

[Namaste]

BigZ is right about DD on this one, boys.

[Bobbob1313]

He's still their best option there, by virtue of being one of the better hitting second basemen in the league right now.

[HUGG]

Absolutely

[Bobbob1313]

The fact that I see so much more criticism of Dietrich than Hechavarria on twitter confirms that a lot of people watch Marlins' broadcasts with the volume turned up too high.
--------------------
I do actually think it's interesting that fans as a whole tend to be more forgiving of poor offensive performance than poor defense, in both MLB and NBA. At least from what I've seen.

[Big Z]

I love DD, and the "swag" he brings; I hope he's our permanent 2B. The guy who looks like a complete bust since last season is Marisnick. Holy cow, the kid cannot hit. That's scary.

[HUGG]

Don't ever use "swag" again.


I think the offense/defense thing is because a lot fans equate defense solely to effort and offense as a skill.

I think this is almost certainly true, and almost certainly dumb.

Well, of course. I don't think anyone disagrees.

[HUGG]

Anyone here, maybe. Bobbob has people on twitter telling him Hech is better than Dietrich
