2014-2015 Marlins Offseason Rumors

[emkayseven]

still think there's another SP move coming

but if not...pretty sure they're giving Nicolino a fair shot

Hand could also be in the mix...

[Mainge]

I think our pitching is a really big question mark right now. Cosart is fine but he pitched a little over his head last year. I don't really see Alvarez putting up another ~2.50 ERA and Latos is also a question mark with health. And the rest of the options are all meh to trash.

I think a SP move has to be coming.

[HUGG]

Unless it's Shields, there's really not much out there

[flamarlins3]

I can't believe they've replaced and traded Mcgehee. I would have bet the farm they'd keep him no matter what at the beginning of the offseason.

Crazy. Love it.

And hopefully there's a SP move coming

[Valid]

We're getting two minor-league arms, per Frisaro.

[nny]

So we're basically at exactly 65m payroll atm, having Dee as costing 0.

So if Haren retires/is traded, we have roughly 10m left to get another pitcher and then we'll rock fucking faces

[Erick]

Dan, we don't want you.

[HUGG]

unless we have another trade in us or are gonna pay Shields, there's no real upgrades left

[nny]

God, if we went big and sign Max Scherzer, we'd be so sexy.

Imagine a playoff rotation of Jose -> Max -> Latos.

Swoon.

Trade Cishek and take draft pick cost into account and we'd be at 80m payroll if we got Max for 25m per.

[Big Z]

I'll won't be greedy and take Shields

Jose
Shields
Latos
Henderson
Cosart

God that is nasty

So what's our lineup now?

Gordon
Yelich
Stanton
Morse
Ozuna
Prado
Salty
Hech

[emkayseven]

really hope Prado is in the 2 hole. Gordon-Prado-Yelich-Stanton is incredible and makes a lot more sense.

[HUGG]

Yeah, Gordon-Prado-Yelich-Stanton-Morse-Ozuna-Salty-Hech would be my ideal.



But I think Big Z's is what they will do.

[Miamarlin21]

Ohhh I really like Prado hitting second. Regardless, Yelich will be hitting in front of Stanton, which I think will help him have a great 2015.

[emkayseven]

Prado .318/.360/.491 career as a two hole hitter

[xeysz]

Prado .318/.360/.491 career as a two hole hitter

That's actually for when he's playing 2B. I just looked it up and spent a minute looking at it until I realized it was his position splits instead of lineup order.

He has spent most of his time batting 2nd though, almost half his games overall
