What do we think Gerritt Cole ends up getting? I'm thinking I'd go 7 years/$210 million. Is that still not enough to get it done?

[lou]

Our pitching is far too unproven to just be dealing arms away every time they accomplish something at the big league level.

Yep.

After Anderson, don't we all take Sandy as the 2nd best player in the organization today? With 5 years of control? Is anyone gambling Sixto/Bleday/Jazz/Sanchez actually works out versus the basic guarantee Sandy looks like a really solid # 3/4 SP moving forward (with more upside if the K rate keeps improving)? He's younger than Caleb, and proved more than Pablo?

Dumb Lee. This one is dumb.

I'll take the over. Seriously.

Even with modest improvement this year, Alcantara's WHIP sits at 1.31. That just won't work. As to second best player in the organization ... Sandy is nowhere near.

If you're talking about players that played in the big leagues this year, I think there's no question Sandy is the 2nd best player. (Who else would it be?) Now if you were to slot him somewhere on our current prospect ranking, I'd say he'd probably fall somewhere around 5th or 6th.

I'm sure you'd keep Berti over him.

And you are seriously undervaluing Alcantara's weak contact rates which are fantastic. Maybe you should look at WHIP leaderboards too, as a 1.31 whip (minimum 100 IP) comes in at 65th in the league (solid mid-rotation there). Ahead of D. Price, E. Rodriguez, R. Ray, Stroman, and Keuchel. This was Sandy's rookie year, in his age 23 year old season.

Sandy’s also been improving and might be a different pitcher than we saw earlier this year. He’s been terrific the last two months.

Also going to get close to 200 innings which is rare these days.

With the loss last night, the Marlins clinched the 3rd pick in the June draft.

Seems like I won the board bet of this team not winning 60 games this year.

Mentioned a little before but Miami is paying close attention to Boston. They aren't willing to trade any crazy price but if JD Martinez or Betts comes on the market they are gonna make a big push to trade for them instead of waiting.

Pitchers/Devers/OF(Jerar/Pompey/Burdick type)

Again they arent gonna pay a crazy price but are willing to pay some and like both(would only try for 1 tho)

[geemoney]

Not sure if this was known ahead of time, but looks like Martin Prado is retiring. On a somewhat related note, the Marlins will need a new bench coach as Tim Wallach is stepping away to spend more time with his family on the west coast.

Would this be the time for Trey Hillman to step forward ?

Congratulations you did it!

[emkayseven]

I’d be fine with Prado as bench coach tbh

Not sure Trey Hillman stays around as he thought he would get the Manager job. Watch for Keith Johnson,Eric Duncan,Jorge Posada(Guys who they looked at as manager) as bench coach. Mattingly is gonna be on a short leash and bench coach could be next manager.
