Looks like Solano and Hechevarria are starting. Seems like what we have are going to be the final starters.

Saw this on mlbtr....

The fact that he has Stanton PLATOONING completely voids any point this post tried to make.

While I ultimately expect Solano and Hechavarria to be starting, how is the depth chart remotely official?  It looks like something that some random guy put together.

 

I mean, there's been no indication that Coghlan is even in the running for any position, let alone moved back to the IF.

Meant starters. Changed the post.

That's not what the guy meant although it's what I initially thought, as well.

What else could it possibly mean? Stanton don't need a defensive replacement, and everyone else on that list with a slash next to it meant platooning.

I still dont understand why Coghlan gets all this love... We aren't in 2009 anymore.

The poster does explain he's listing the starter and their "replacement" in a later reply.

Stanton don't need no replacement. Either way. Dumb.

The starters are probably going to be Hechevarria and Solano, but it isn't definite yet. Still a 1-5% chance we trade or sign a better 2B.

 

I still find it funny we went from a thread in March making fun of Ozzie for even considering giving Solano a roster spot to him pretty much being guaranteed a starting 2B job for putting up an OPS barely above .700 in somewhat limited action is indicative of the direction the Marlins are currently heading as a franchise.

 

(Should mention I agree with Solano at 2B currently. There are no better internal options at the moment).

[gizmo]

I guess Dietrich could possibly beat out Solano for 2B. but that's pretty much it. 

[gizmo]

I forget, did we get an infielder during Rule 5?

[BenderRobot]

Outfielder and 2 pitchers, iirc.

[Hotcorner]

I guess Dietrich could possibly beat out Solano for 2B. but that's pretty much it. 

I think he needs some more AA time, I suppose a mid/late season call-up is a possibility.  Same with Yelich.  Same with Cox (if he hits).  Could be looking at quite a different starting roster by August, so I guess it doesn't really matter all that much. 

 

I would actually be surprised if Coghlan makes the 25-man, they'd probably rather give Silverio the opportunity at this point.  Not sure what the timetable is for him though as far as rehab...

 

 

It is a little distressing that we're still left with just Solano, Dietrich, and Cox as really the only near-ready 2B and 3B options.  Avery Romero isn't close.  And 1B is even worse if Logan flops.

Olt will be starting 3B. But we will need a new RF.

Listening doesn't mean trading.  It's still extremely unlikely that Stanton is traded.

I still don't understand why we give a f*** what this poster thinks.

I still have a lot of confidence in Solano.  He's not going to hit a lot of deep balls, and he still has to learn to take more balls for the walk, but he's in the learning stage.  His job isn't to drive in runs or hit dingers, it's as a table setter for the big bats.  Let's see if he can fit into that learning curve before we pass judgement on him.  If he does, great.  If not, then like you said, there is no better internal options at this point.

[legacyofCangelosi]

Solano had an OBP of .342. Not bad for a second baseman. Would have made him 4th in the NL if he had the ABs.

 

His OPS will obviously be low because hes not a power hitter, so the slugging numbers will bring that down.

Solano also had an unsustainable .357 .BABIP, which made his .OBP look pretty good. 

He's not a starter. He's a cool option to have as the worst player on a bench due to his versatility, but that's about it.

One problem with Solano is we already have a bunch of donovan solanos on our team already

Stanton orders bats 12 at a time.
