World Series :shifty:
Hoping this season is enjoyable. I've always been a huge Marlins fan but ill admit my interest in the team has been waivering dur to ownership. 162 is a lot of games to have no hope in.SICK likes this. -
We'll suck but not as bad as last year.
It's unfortunate that my fandom has shifted from the results on the field to how the prospects are progressing and what we'll get for Stanton but it is what it is. I just can't quit them. -
Maybe this'll be the year a Loria grows a heart and/or spine.

On pace for 162-0 boys! -

73 is a good number to shoot for. -
it's attainable if the staff remains healthy and a couple of guys further develop.
73 would be an awful season. -
That being said, the pitching is fine (although probably is being very overrated by Marlins fans). It's the offense that's the problem. The only hitters projected better than average are Stanton, and barely Yelich and Salty. The rest are well well below-average.
There's pretty much no chance in hell this team wins 85 games. This year should be about getting to the mid-70's in wins, figuring out what we have in Yelich, Ozuna, Marisnick, Dietrich, Heaney, etc, and setting ourselves up to compete next year.
73 wins would be a success.BlameItOnTheHenne likes this. -

He's very talented but I'd be surprised if he breaks an .800+ OPS in his first year.
I'm thinking a decent average, high OBP, and the power starts coming in the second half of the year.
EDIT: If he could recreate his line from last year, I'd be pretty happy. Something like ~280/370/400 -

The pitching staff alone improving, will push them toward .500
Offense is overrated in the grand scheme toward contending. Pitching is all that matters to begin to build a contender.
The 2013 Washington Nationals are the model. For the Marlins to improve to Nationals level of offense would take next to nothing (create a third of a run per game). But look at their pitching. Their pitching alone took them to 86 wins. -
Oh..and I'm a dual fan..so I am not a Marlins homer. I am a Mets/Marlins fan.

Mets season ended yesterday after they blew three leads over the mighty Nats.
I mean...we get to Strasburg and still manage to look like a clown show in the end?
My entire baseball experience this year is already reduced to watching Jose Fernandez all year.finyank13 likes this. -
But both offense and pitching are equally important. Look no further than the 2013 Marlins who finished with the lowest ERA in franchise history and still lost 100 games.
This team isn't getting to 80 wins. Maybe next year. -

There's going to be a ton of disappointed Marlins fans in a few weeks. Literally dozens of them.
