I feel sorry for the Astros fans for witnessing their team everyday Oh wait I don't, we're not any better

After his bad start against Texas about a week ago I think

Rasmus 2bagger!

Villar with the snag

You have got to be kidding me? Is he not "Bredard" like people pronounce it???

Hey, we score at least!

Please leave feedback and ideas/improvements for future GDTs!

That is true. They are rebuilding well, and I give them credit for starting with nothing (although they did trade Bourn, Pence, Oswalt and Wandy), but I think the Marlins are still more attractive lol Lunhow's doing great though

If they had Lawrie and wanted him to plug their 2B hole, then I think their fantasy team is worse than mine lol

I stand corrected What the hell lol I thought they always had s*** pitching

With the way both Orgs are going, I'd rather be a Marlins fan with hope that Loria is pressured to sell the team than be a Jays fan who's management is just throwing prospects at s*** people to plug holes. But I am a true Jays fan so I have to keep rooting for my team, but I don't like where this is going

"EYE BLACK, AND BONI GUISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE!!!! #LOVethISTEam" - AA

Possible trade talks for 3B broke down?

Wow they turned it around? Last year and the years before it was all offence no pitching, I swear

WHAT IS THIS SITE??? HOW DID I NOT KNOW OF THIS?! This is so badass!!! Thank you for dropping that note lol, it's so cool! Trout and Rizzo have the longest homers this year? And EE has the most no doubters at 10! Anyways, he has 8 homers in 10 games, the longest one was last year off Josh Renokie that went a total of 494 ft. http://wapc.mlb.com/play/?content_id=23980563&c_id=mlb Those 8 homers have a total distance of 3215 ft, averaging to ~402 ft on average lol However the 4 homers for 2012 on, he averaged an average ~461 ft

What about pitching? They'd be the Rockies in the NL, elite offence, s*** pitching. If he somehow becomes a Rockies player, he's a 60 homer threat. Holy crap he has like 5 homers in 8 games at Coores Field and all of them have been moonshots

I agree with you. If they get 1st overall pick they might be able to change that. Also if Stanton is traded, he'd surly net in 2x his value in both pitching prospect(s) and hitting prospect(s). That's only one player. I like the fact that the Marlins get to build around 23 yo Stanton (who is >>>>>>>>>>> Astros) and 20 yo Fernandez (who is >>>>>>>>>>>> Astros). Plus the supporting young crew beats out what the Astros are spitting out IMO

I don't like Houston's prospects and future core as much as the Marlins, and the Astros have been rebuilding for longer. 2015 or 2016? Woah lol, I think they'll be 2010/11 Jays caliber by 2015, they still need to polish a lot of their players and need more impact ones too. Attracting FA is much harder now

He pitched like 40 innings in AA, and he wasn't Jose Fernandez dominating lol

Players before teardown: 1B - Logan Morrison LF - Christian Yelich RF/CF - Marcell Ozuna RF - Giancarlo Stanton SP - Jose Fernandez SP - Andrew Heaney After: C - Rob Brantly 2B - Derek Dietrich 3B - Colin Moran SS - Adeiny Hechavarria CF - Jake Marisnick SP - Nathan Eovaldi SP - Henderson Alvarez SP - Justin Turner SP - Justin Nicolino True but seems like they had a lot of depth acquired through trade, solid players, especially on the pitching front

LOL What is baffling me, even past the age, how does he go from dominating A ball to dominating MLB? When was the last time someone goes from A+ to being top 20 NL starter (according to Fangraphs) and MLB All-Star? Holy crap lol

Well what they have to do is complete rebuild and get Loria out lol Proper ownership maybe this time around?

lol True, but I am saying through only one year of rebuild. Most of these core players were acquired in trades during the deadline and the offseason. I think that, in 2014 August they're obviously going to have an even better farm and more depth. But given that it's only being a year of rebuild, I think they have done really well.

So I have checked out the Marlins roster, and my oh my, they actually have a really nice core in only one year of rebuilding.... I think it's so far so good, what do you guys think? C - Rob Brantly, 24 yrs (Scouting Report: Should be good defender, contact hitter, good eye, Acquired as part of a package for Anibal Sanchez & Omar Infante) 1B - Logan Morrison, 25 yrs 2B - Derek Dietrich, 24 yrs (Power hitting 2B, lefty Dan Uggla? Plus power, meh glove. Acquired in 1 for 1 swap of Yunel Escobar with the Rays) 3B - Colin Moran, 20 yrs (Just drafted, great hit tool, gap power, decent defender) SS - Adeiny Hechavarria, 24 yrs (Great defender, range glove and arm. Should be a decent hitter, Yunel with the bat ceiling? Acquired from Jays in Blockbuster) LF - Christian Yelich, 21 yrs (Drafted by Marlins, great bat tool, can hit over .300, power potential is growing and is a threat with the bat) CF - Jake Marisnick, 22 yrs (Handsome and a great athelete, perfect CF defensivly, offence still needs work, but potential to be plus contact & power, acquired from Jays) RF/CF - Marcell Ozuna, 23 yrs (Amateur FA signing in 2008, typical RF; great arm + great power + meh hit tool, .260 ish hitter, decent speed) RF - Giancarlo Stanton, 23 yrs SP - Jose Fernandez, 20 yrs (Goes from A+ to MLB All-Star the following year, wow) SP - Nathan Eovaldi, 23 yrs (Acquired as main piece from Hanley Ramirez trade) SP - Henderson Alvarez, 23 yrs (Acquired from Jays) SP - Justin Turner, 22 yrs (Acquired from Tigers with Brantly for Infante & Sanchez) SP - Andrew Heaney, 22 yrs (Drafted by Marlins, still in A ball, could be solid #3, Fastball + Changeup + Curveball with good control and velo, working on a cutter) SP - Justin Nicolino, 22 yrs (Started AA, smart pitcher, can work all corners with plus command & movement, great fastball, changeup already an out pitch, still working on curve. Acquired from Blue Jays) I think those are the real core players. Obviously there are other great young talent, especially in the BP (Steve Cishek, Dan Jennings, Ryan Webb; all young and should be good), but as the main core going forward, they have a great future ahead of them.

No kidding!
