Feel the Teal - The latest news, rumors, opinions and updates on the Marlins
Ever since getting hit by a pitch in Spring Training, things have been a bit derailed for the Marlins 2007 top draft pick. Matt Dominguez was competing to be the starting third baseman heading into this season, but has to work his way back first. Dominguez was 3/18 in four rehab games at A Jupiter and then 2/15 in four rehab games in AA Jacksonville. He is now being added to the AAA New … [Read more...]
Sosa, who had some success back in 2005 with the Braves, was signed to a minor league contract with the Fish the Sun-Sentinel is reporting. Sosa was 13-3 with a 2.55 ERA back with the Braves, but bounced around shortly thereafter with little consistency. Someone to keep an eye on, but most likely will serve in a relief role if he does earn a call up. … [Read more...]
The future is bright for the Marlins. Currently they are playing very good baseball as they battle their way into contention for the Wild Card and the NL East. The parent club is doing this with a modest payroll and a future that has an economic boon on the horizon with the new stadium opening in 2012. In the meantime, their farm system is starting to churn out their own hits, … [Read more...]
It's not what you think - or so Fredi Gonzalez would have us all believe. This isn't a white flag being waived over the Emilio Bonifacio project. This is simply a move to get Gaby Sanchez a look at the big league level. Meanwhile, Andrew Miller was optioned to AAA New Orleans to work on his mechanics (got to love the kid, but he just looks mentally weak out there). Just look at what Fredi … [Read more...]
Gaby Sanchez left the University of Miami as a firstbaseman, but now is facing his professional future at another position: thirdbase. Every beat writer has been latching on to this story and its possibility, but our own MarlinAddict kind of put the observation out there first. Since he came back from injury, Gaby Sanchez has been playing third base and continuing to hit. Right now against … [Read more...]
Looking over the box scores of recent nights since his return, our own MarlinAddict noticed that something unusual is going on with Gaby Sanchez - he's playing 3B. Not only does he have a 9 game hitting streak going (interrupted by his injury) but perhaps he's being groomed to come up as a 3B. Jorge Cantu is currently manning 1B but how much can he actually factor into the long term plans for … [Read more...]
The Marlins are not favoring well in their trade with Detroit last year. Sure, Dontrelle Willis has melted down but Miguel Cabrera continues to produce. In return, the Marlins were hoping to reap from the potentials of Andrew Miller and Cameron Maybin. Both were excellent prospects coming out of the Detroit system that filled immediate needs - CF and a starting pitcher. Yet neither have lived … [Read more...]
What a dramatic shift in the makeup of the Marlins farm system. Originally pitcher heavy with little offensive depth, over the course of the last few years that previous stigma has been turned completely on it's head. There are still some promising arms, granted, such as Sean West and Aaron Thompson, but when Baseball America rolls around it's 2009 prospect rankings it will probably read like a … [Read more...]
Well, let's start with the best players in the Florida Marlins' organization: Ryan Tucker and Logan Morrison. Ryan Tucker had an amazing season, going 5-3 in 25 appearances but amassing a 1.58 ERA along the way. He allowed only 64 hits in 94 innings, and held batters to a .195 AVG. Starting in 12 games, Tucker pitched 70 innings and allowed only 11 ERs. The Marlins have different plans for … [Read more...]
As everyone knows, I am a big Kyle Kaminska fan. The kid is all of 19 years old and was a 27th round pick, yet still started 2008...his second professional year...at high A Jupiter in the Florida State League. And granted, while it wasn't pretty he showed alot of promise in his first start. And the struggles continued after a trip back to Greensboro. Let's not call it a demotion, so much as … [Read more...]
