Most Marlins thing ever
It would have been the most Marlins thing ever if it was a former Marlin hitting the walk off.
The Miami Marlins - the AAAA minor league team for the entire major leagues

All I have to say is we are going to be very good much faster than people think.
The kids are coming....Sixto, JJ, Jazz, Mad Max, and Jesus Sanchez.
In 3 to four years they might be where the Braves were a year or two ago, that my friend is progressWell, they're ranked 5th overall, or around there by most sites.. Braves were the best farm for a few years, and by a lot for a while, with guys like Acuna, who the Marlins have no one like that... They still have a ways to go. Nice arms though

True, but Acuna is a top 5 talent in the MLB.
The other parts are there and the Marlins have been shrewd enough to trade pitching (which they have a surplus of) for top end prospects like Jazz Chisolm and Jesus Sanchez.Considering that the Marlins had a bottom 3 minor league system for years, being top 5 is a major change.
Don't think the Marlins trading young arms for position players is over. All of the Marlins draft picks from this most recent draft were ALL pitchers. I have never heard of a team doing that before.

Acuña is being heralded as the next Mike Trout. That guys bat down rookie SP is worth so much [censored] money.

Those guys better be careful, more than 15 HR before the trade deadline, they'll be shipped out for a box of pizza and a small pepsi.
What size pizza though?
Depends on what Jeter likes best. Yelich? GTFOH, Realmuto? GTFOH, I am Derek Jeter just like my MLB career I will be way overated.

Well that's what I'm saying. The Braves have that depth, and lots of it, but they also had top end generational talent like Acuna.
Marlins are lacking that but have put together nice pitching depth. They still have maybe another 2 seasons with great drafts needed to go. Right track though
The Jays, Padres and Rays have that type the Braves have/had... Depth and top end talent.

The only trade I didnt like was Yelich since he was on a team friendly deal.
Trading JT was at worst a tie. The Phillies get one full season of JT plus this abbreviated 60 game stretch.
The Marlins got Jorge Alfaro and Sixto Sanchez. Two pieces to build upon. We were not going to keep JT.Trading Stanton was necessary. While the trade was a PR nightmare, baseball wise it made sense.
After the passing of Jose Fernandez any hope the Marlins had of contending disappeared.
Stanton would have played out the massive contract on a team rocked by the passing of a local hero, and a barren minor league system.
Do you think the Yankees regret the deal now after 2 inconsistent, injury plagued seasons? -

You are 100% correct.
One last nail in Loria's coffin..
Can you believe that the Marlins were the ONLY team not to have an academy in the Dominican Republic until Jeter and Sherman built one?That is inexcusable.

Ya, that is pathetic, especially for a team located in Miami. It's always amazed me how a team with such terrible management history has pulled off 2 incredible underdog championships (especially '03) in their short history...
In comparison, their expansion brother Rockies have had no such luck, and have only come remotely close once..
So many great players have passed through Miami too. Even if it's just for a year, before management boots them out after broken promises -
That little 8 run 8th I believe did the fish in.

For a while especially after 1997 it seemed like the majority of the All Star teams were former Marlins.
I know it wasn't true, but it seemed that way.1997 was built to secure a stadium and when that fell through the owner sold off the team's assets.
2003 was lightning in bottle. Built on some of the pieces of the 97 fire sale (Lee & Lowell), an Acuna like generational talent Miggy. And a Hall of Famer on a prove it deal, Pudge. The GM had the guts to trade the previous year's #1 overall pick (Adrian Gonzalez) for Ugi Urbina.
And the cigar chomping lifer Jack Mckeon tied it all together.
Dont forget Beckett, Pierre, Luis Castillo and the return of Mr. Marlin, Jeff Conine. -

Dont forget Beckett, Pierre, Luis Castillo and the return of Mr. Marlin, Jeff Conine.I remember the run they went on just to get in the postseason. Epic.. then Bartman... Then knocking off the Yankees, who just went through a dangerous Sox team to get there... Crazy year...
And don't forget Castillo and Pierre! 2 of the most valuable pieces that year. And of course Dontrelle...

Pierre and Castillo gave the Yankees fits.
It was a very underrated team. It was a shame they were never allowed to defend their title. -

I'd have serious doubts they'd be able to take on that powerhouse Cardinals team of Pujols, Rolen and Edmonds.. and they even got destroyed by the Red Sox.. 04 was the Sox destiny..

I agree with you 100% that Sox team was awesome. I loved that team.
Pedro and Schilling (should be in the HOF), Papi and the idiots led by former Marlin Kevin Millar. -
