Alcantara, Aldolis Garcia, and Jose Martinez?

All the reports are pointing to them as the key Marlin interest.

If that is it then this deal is an absolute steal. Even one more piece to bring it up to four would still make it to steal. I’ve never been a huge fan of Alcantara. I saw him as a likely bullpener. And like our fifth or sixth best pitching prospect, Behind Reyes, Weaver, Flaherty, and Hudson. Hudson and AlcanTara are about a wash. And that’s just in the high minors. They are several arms lower than that which I would’ve ranked higher than Alcantara if I was took readiness out of the equation.

no, that's just who the marlins seemed to be linked to the most...no one besides alcantara has been confirmed yet.

I have absolutely no problem with that. It’s terrific to get something of value from him before he proves that he’s not going to be able to cut it as a hitter in the major leagues.

So do we love Mo again, or are we giving Girsch all the credit?

[Big Amoco Sign]

Found Sierra overrated but I thought he was a Mozeliak personal favorite.

i am slowly but surely lessening my desire for mo to choke on his bowtie

yeah...loved seeing his speed but i'm not sure we're losing a whole bunch (watch him be lou brock).

and maybe it solidifies grichuk being a part of any TB deal...though my cynicism says he'll be on our roster in 2018

Yeah - he had a fun callup in 2017, but you look at his total lack of power in the minors, combined with a pretty low walk rate, and I feel comfortable saying he's a 4th/5th OF slash defensive sub slash pinch runner.

damn....i really enjoyed watching sierra....gotta break some eggs to make an omelette i reckon
