We have given the site a fresh new look which we hope reflects the tropical energy that has been infused in the Miami Marlins new look. Same old site, with community forum and all kinds of other activities, but with a new color scheme and look. Just … [Read more...]
Paradigms can shift quickly, suddenly. At least, so it seems to those who failed to recognize the shifting sands in the first place. If you were watching the Winter Meetings coverage on ESPN these recent weeks, you may have been led to believe that there was a new franchise, an expansion franchise that just popped up on the scene eager to buy its way into the upper echelons of big league … [Read more...]
Just digging around on YouTube to find some various reactions. If you have an opinion, share it with us! … [Read more...]
Give Greg Dobbs credit. He has already looked like an acquisition that has paid off for the Marlins through the first 8 games of the season. Brought in to be a bench player extraordinaire, much like Wes Helms, Dobbs filled in at 3rd base for the first time this season with his new team, the Marlins. Dobbs, who was a part of those Phillies World Series teams in 2008 and 2009, likes what he sees … [Read more...]
Reports are that Cliff Lee isn't going to the Yankees or staying in storybook Dallas with the Rangers, but instead is going back to Philadelphia. Apparently, he loves it there and misses the clubhouse that he joined to get to the World Series in 2009. How did the Phillies show their love? They traded him. This means the NL East just got a bit thicker at the top. Cliff Lee will join what … [Read more...]
Edwin Rodriguez is the right man to navigate the Marlins for this upcoming season. Flying under the radar, the expectations outside of the Marlins front office and clubhouse may not be high. This team is going to have a strong sense of self and a vision that will guide them to success this upcoming season. Let's face it, no one - and I mean no one - picked the San Francisco Giants to win the … [Read more...]
Javier Vazquez put the finishing touches on a one year deal with the Marlins for $7M on Thursday. Vazquez, 34, will be reunited - sort of - with the organization that gave him his big break. It was the front office of the Marlins that was the front office of the Expos back when Vazquez was breaking into the league. Yet this move doesn't come with some questions. Vazquez's velocity is down and … [Read more...]
Juan C. Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel is reporting that Javier Vazquez is intrigued by the idea of pitching in South Florida next season. There are several reasons why this makes sense - Vazquez would be closer to his native Puerto Rico and he also already is on familiar terms with skipper Edwin Rodriguez who himself is a native of Puerto Rico, too. Vazquez also got his start in … [Read more...]
So now that the dust is settling on the Dan Uggla trade, we've come to learn two basic things: The Marlins did make a very fair offer to Uggla and his representatives. They opted to take their chances elsewhere, looking to get a 5 year deal at around $70+M. Marlins offered 4 years at $48M. Kind of reminds one of the Pudge Rodriguez exit, eh? Marlins brass want to be a better baseball team - … [Read more...]
It seems the Dan Uggla deal was part of a bigger move to overhaul the Marlins this offseason. With an offense that frequently struck out, and was unable to consistently put balls into play and move runners, the Marlins have decided to go back to their roots and focus on defense, pitching, and "small ball". That said, John Buck had a break out year with the Blue Jays this past season and the … [Read more...]
