Marlins Maniacs: Royals vs. Marlins -- Sad Comparison 2
http://marlinsmaniacs.blogspot.com/2015/11/royals-vs-marlins-sad-comparison-2.html
Champions of the world in 1997 and 2003 - and now? Wednesday, November 4, 2015. Royals vs. Marlins - Sad Comparison 2. In an excellent analysis, the Los Angeles Times has shown how a small-market team like the Royals could build a national champion. There were a lot of smart moves, but at the core was the draft. From 2005 through 2008, the first picks of the Royals were outfielder Alex Gordon, pitcher Luke Hochevar, 3B Moustakas and 1B Hosmer. Skipworth's only appearance in the Show was in 2013 - when he...

Marlins Maniacs: January 2015
http://marlinsmaniacs.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Champions of the world in 1997 and 2003 - and now? Sunday, January 4, 2015. Next Year's Line Up. Well, Marlins management was either paying close attention to my blog worrying that Stanton might turn out to be like A-Rod in Texas, or maybe they were just exhibiting good sense. At any rate, they've made a bunch of moves. Are they enough to get Marlins to playoffs? Here's my analysis of the position players. 1B - Michael Morse. On opening day. He had. 208 total bases in 2014, on base percentage of .336,.

Marlins Maniacs: Mike Piazza -- What a Deal
http://marlinsmaniacs.blogspot.com/2016/01/mike-piazza-what-deal.html
Champions of the world in 1997 and 2003 - and now? Thursday, January 7, 2016. Mike Piazza - What a Deal. In case you're wondering, I looked it up:. May 14, 1998. May 22, 1998. So basically, it was part of that sickening unloading that soured many fans. In the end we ended up with starter Preston Wilson. Zeile played 66 games in 1998 and was gone. Yarnall played two years with Yankees in 1999 and 2000. We got Wilson, we gave up Bonilla, Eisenreich, Johnson and Sheffield. Posted by John Dorschner.

Champions of the world in 1997 and 2003 - and now? Saturday, October 17, 2015. The Woody Allen Index of the Marlins. Woody Allen once said: "Eighty percent of success is showing up.". With that in mind, I measured Marlins for 2015 who kept showing up and performing: Total bases, walks, net stealing (steals minus caught stealing times 2). I'll call this index Total Total Bases.

Marlins Maniacs: Mets vs. Marlins -- a Sad Comparison
http://marlinsmaniacs.blogspot.com/2015/10/mets-vs-marlins-sad-comparison.html
Champions of the world in 1997 and 2003 - and now? Friday, October 30, 2015. Mets vs. Marlins - a Sad Comparison. They both used to be losers in the NL East. Now one of them is still a loser …. During the post-season, I've been gathering data. Of the top eight batters and four starters:. The Mets have built their team like this: 7 from drafts, one from the amateur free agent (meaning basically smart draft option), three trades and one free agent. First of all, what didn't we see? They dumped a successful...

Champions of the world in 1997 and 2003 - and now? Friday, October 3, 2014. Andrew Miller facing Miggy (? When Andrew Miller came in for the Orioles on Thursday night to face Miggy, my mind, well, boggled. . I'd lost track of Andrew Miller, frankly, and there he was, his tall lanky self, with the announcers crowing about what a great pickup he had been for the Orioles from the Red Sox and how he had become a great fixture of the super Orioles bullpen. And Henry Owens (who? Reserve outfielder for the Roya...

Giancarlo's injury isn't just a disaster for this year's play-off hopes - it's an indication of the worsening disasters that await Marlins fans for the next decade. Stanton Contract Attendance =. But another figure is just as depressing. Loria Counting on Attendance Boost. Here's why this attendance is particularly devastating: Loria, in his infinite wisdom, back-loaded Stanton's contract...
