Has there been any talk of the Rockies dealing Morneau?

Daft hacked Beef's account?

Platooning LaRoche is the best option

Platooning LaRoche is the best option

Not signing him is the best option.

I really want to know what Castro and Valbuena cost from the Cubs. That's 5 WAR at 2B (Castro can play there and be Hech insurance) and 3B vs RHP.

I'd say Heaney and Cishek are worth it, and trade Eovaldi for a young 1B for midseason/next year, sign a veteran SP.

holy shit that contract is incredible

[Namaste]

There's no way the Marlins platoon 1B. Can we just stop mentioning that as a possibility?

Beef, we all know that Loria has no intentions of paying the back end of that contract. Isn't it obvious?

This is a great signing. But let's call a spade a spade.

[HUGG]

I mean, they platooned 1B last season. Jones only started 6 games vs. lefties.

6 more than he should have, but still, they settled into that Jones/Baker platoon very fast.

Don't let facts get in the way, Hugg, you know that.

[Nick]

yeah, I think if we signed LaRoche, Baker would still play 1B against RHP.

[Namaste]

Who the fuck is this MiamiHomer guy?

Hi, Hugg. Link for the 6 starts? How many LHP did we face this year?

[marlinsfan24]

Hanley Ramirez for first base. /hides.

It was 9, not 6. I was working from memory.

And Jeff Baker started all of our games vs. lefties but one, so it's not like they weren't platooning him.

MLB Network mentioned Hanley returning to Miami as a dream free agent scenario!
