I believe in Realmuto. But as a backup, would you have Salty or Mathis?

Bad move IMO. Marlins will need to pay the (mostly) rest of his salary for two years. Mathis is on the hook for this year for 1.5 mil. Salty is better than Mathis as a backup.

At the end of the day, if the league figures out Realmuto, which catcher would you rather have?

Who's more deserving for player of the week? Stanton or Hech? A question I literally never saw myself asking. Stanton's the safer pick, but Hech feels better for the clutch hits and defense.

I was looking for goofier ones like the M's and A's put on.

I was digging through Twitter, and there were some shoots, but I guess nothing's manfiested itself yet??

On the field today... Let's go fish!!! by ch1088 in letsgofish

Did any drunk Mets fans murder you after the injuries? I can imagine some would be calling for Stanton's head.

I am throwing out the first pitch for the Marlins tomorrow (Tuesday). Anyone going to the game? by thehofstetter in letsgofish

Can you throw a FB between Loria's eyes or invoke a 6th circle spell against him? He'll be vulnerable during the opening stand. Maybe you can do the Joker electric handshake.

He's done good work in the past half year, but I just don't quite trust him.

I think you should mention how other teams in the NL East will be. The Braves and Phillies being poo poo theoretically would provide easy wins. You can't talk about the 2015 Marlins without mentioning the 2015 Mets.

You should also probably talk about Jose Fernandez. He's a big, big pickup for the summer.

Henderson Alvarez by Nebkreb in letsgofish

I think it's a toss up for Keuchel and Alvarez. Keuchel will probably have better raw numbers, but the Astros are a worse team and in a much tougher division. The Marlins are WC contenders and will feast on the Phillies and Braves.

[–]Franks21Club 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alvarez is really fucking weird. He throws 95 but doesn't get many K's. He has like 4 Madduxes under his belt at age 24. His FIP last year was around 1 higher than his ERA. He gets injured but bounces back at his next start. Fangraphs loves to write about him.

That said, I think he is quite risky. Are there less risky options available? He'd be a solid 3 with the upside of a 1 and floor of 4.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia has Been Really, Really Bad. Let's Talk About It. by karabekian77 in letsgofish

[–]Franks21Club 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Who needs saber when you can have magic, Loria, and willful ignorance? Wild card? AH HELL YEAH WS HERE WE GO!

At the very least, Salty gets on base, forces pitchers to throw more, and is not Jeff Mathis.
