meh

hanley is a headcase and Reyes hasn't played a full season in 3 seasons and is coming off a career year

Miami Marlins = dream team hype

Headache or not, that doesn't change the fact that he is a good hitter. A VERY good hitter. Mike Stanton is a beast, Logan Morrison is good. They have several good young players. If they add Pujols it will a dangerous line up.

They remind me a lot of the Phillies when they got their new stadium and spent a lot of money to get players and went on a run for several years. I think the Marlins will do the same as long as they get the same kind of fan supprt the Phils get. Which is a big question.

No doubt the Marlins have potential. I'm a HUGE Mike Stanton fan. I think the guy is going to be a perennial HR champion, never seen someone with power like his. Logan Morrison is a good player as you said. Hanley is just lazy and a massive headache. He certainly wasn't a good hitter last year. Isn't their farm system VERY depleted though?

Their pitching though... Josh Johnson when healthy is one of the best pitchers in the MLB. Healthy is a big question mark with him though(same with Reyes). If they signed Pujols, no doubt their offense will probably be one of the best in the MLB if not the best.

I just think they're getting a lot of hype when they've only signed two guys.

I still think the NL East plays out this year with

1) Phillies

2) Braves

3) Nationals

4) Marlins

5) Mets

No offense to any Mets fans here :D, but that team is just in a horrible spot right now.

      Edge Rushers

      By imminent rogaine · Posted

      As we look at these prospects, I can never quite grasp which “edge” projects as a 4-3 end and which projects as a 3-4 olb. Is there even a distinction anymore? I always think of the smaller Von Millers and Micah Parsons as the 3-4 OLB types and I’m thinking someone like Peppers as the 4-3 end but then I guess Peppers played OLB in GB.  It also seems like the OLBs end up walking up to the line half of the time.  Anyone have any tips on discerning the difference, especially in Evero’s defense?

      Poor kid. Here's hoping he someday gets a chance. In the meantime, someone else will be getting an opportunity and hopefully they can make the most of it.

      [The Athletic] Panthers’ offseason to-do list

      By Navy_football · Posted

      This is it. The Panthers don't have the draft picks or salary cap to approach the offseason position-by-position. That's for teams much further along. They'll have to address "mission areas" rather than individuals, and they'll need to be creative rather than taking a linear approach. I'd add "improve the pass rush: as 1B with "improving the run defense" as 1A. Trying to upgrade every weak position is just not feasible. It'll take 2 or 3 great drafts. For instance, a guy like Luvu that can play the run and rush the QB would be huge in both areas. A fix? No. But a definite improvement. We're focused on a WR1, when a guy like CMC would provide a playmaking option that defenses will have to account for in the passing and running game. And I think an explosive playmaker is more important than adding another guy that can catch the ball in traffic. We have that in spades. Can't solve this riddle in one offseason without taking away from current areas of strength. It's a puzzle that won't be easy to solve. And they'll need to be future focused while being current competent.  My opinions/approach: I'm thinking the focus should be on defensive players that are good at both the run and pass pressure rather than specialists. A stout run-stopping OLB that can also pressure the QB is the better option for the Panthers right now, rather than a sack specialist. We had a pure pass rusher with Burns. Teams just ran the ball at him and took him out of games. A DT that can consistently get in the backfield and disrupt plays rather than a run stuffing NT is probably a better option for the Panthers right now too - Mason Graham. That addresses both the pass and run. Neither of these players would have great numbers, but they'd improve the defense and force offenses to scheme rather than just impose their will. That's when we'll see what Evero is really about. A later round speed WR that forces defenses to keep a safety over the top would really open up the offense - a Ted Ginn Jr type. Maybe a true pass receiving RB that can make guys miss in the open field. These guys aren't usually conventional early round draft picks but they'll improve the team in mission areas rather than focus areas.
