The 2015 Winter Meetings (Dec 7-10)

Obviously Fernandez is worth more than Stroman and you kind of have to do it, but it's still not an easy trade. Fernandez is a glass cannon. Prototypical infected Q delivery.

I personally love how you keep finding different letters to describe faulty mechanics.

Was he born substantially more talented at baseball than the average human being? Sure, it's very likely that he was. However, I don't think it's reasonable to believe that he was born with an innate ability to throw a fastball at 97+ mph with great command, or be able to spin arguably the best breaking ball in baseball. That comes from putting in work. I would have imagined that you, having played at a competitive level of baseball, would have agreed with this sentiment.

 

Also, I didn't say he worked harder than anyone else, but to throw around the makeup issue like he's just some kid who won't listen to valuable advice from coaches which will help him improve his game is ludicrous imo. He's an elite talent, who cares if he might be a little cocky?

 

I practiced baseball for years, and I can properly say that talent is in our DNA. There are things you can not develop because you must be born with it.

In the MLB there are more than 100,000 pitchers who put more effort than Jose Fernandez, but none of them is more successful

[Orgfiller]

Here we go again

[burlingtonbandit]

What is the aging curve for pitchers? If we say Stroman is a 3.5-4 Win pitcher right now and Fernandez is a 5 Win pitcher how do they project for the next 5 years?

1. Hope they don't get TJS

2. Anything else is gravy

Some of the hardest working guys I ever played with weren't very good, and some of the most talented could show up and go 4-4 and then go on the bump and hit mid 90's hungover.

 

Some guys are born to play baseball. Jose Fernandez is one of them. He was probably a SS growing up who hit 3rd and started Friday night games.

[L54]

I know what you're saying though Org. I just think that makeup/clubhouse stuff is somewhat undervalued around these parts, which is an unpopular opinion.

Well considering Fernandez already had TJS and has terrible mechanics that has to have an effect on his value?

In fairness to the mod, at least half of your posts, though charming, are unintelligible to me. I don't think it'd be unfair to call you the board's Chewbacca.

[Governator]

I can't think of one sound reason why the Marlins would be looking to move Fernandez unless he nailed the GMs wife. That's all I can come up.

So Gibby had a Q+A today and its safe to say I am not thrilled with his answers.

 

Q. Given that Colabello finished the season playing first base every day and now you're bringing back Smoak, what are you going to do with first base as it stands now?

 

JOHN GIBBONS: I'm not sure exactly how we'll work that. We kind of went through a little bit of a -- it wasn't a full every night. We'd kind of mix and match on who they were facing and this and that, who was hot.

You look at Colabello, he turned it on at the end when everything was on the line, and it was fun to watch. He really had a tremendous year. Smoaky did too. It was nice to see him get rewarded with a nice contract. It's really a luxury, and we'll figure out how it works. I can't say that's what it's going to be for sure.

 

Q. So maybe play it out similarly to last year, in terms of riding the hot hand?

 

JOHN GIBBONS: Colabello is going to facing plenty of right handers, year.

 

 

Q. Would you consider revisiting Tulo in the leadoff spot?

 

JOHN GIBBONS: No, I like the way we looked when we finally put Ben up there. It wasn't like it was a strategic move, and he responded like he always did. To be honest, I think Tulo likes it a little bit further down, maybe more. I don't know that for a fact, but that's my guess. Richard got us to the postseason with that move right there.

 

 

Q. What's your plan for left field in terms of working in Michael Saunders? Or will you use him in different spots?

 

JOHN GIBBONS: First you've got to see if Michael's healthy. I think it's probably going to nag him for the rest of his career, I would think. We've always liked him when we acquired him. I think he could be a very valuable part of this team.

Going in, you've got to believe Revere is the guy. He's done that for us. He's healthy. We know that. And he's a spark plug for us.

Hopefully, we can find plenty of time for Michael. He can help us.
