What's wrong with the Marlins this year?
They do have a decent record but they are still underachieving. You would think with that lineup they should be able to challenge the Phillies for the division title. But again, there are some stars on that team that are performing so poorly that it is dragging the whole team down. Hanley Ramirez has been a disgrace this year. He can't hit worth a damn this year and he looks lazier than ever. Coghlan is performing quite poorly. Infante and Buck are also underperforming. Vazquez and Volstad should probably be sent to the minors but for some reason Edwin Rodriguez is keeping them in the starting rotation. They have had more than enough time to improve but they have failed. The Marlins may have to admit to themselves that Vazquez is washed up and they may have to get him off the team and they just have to eat that money they are paying him for the year. It's a tough loss of money but it has to be done. I would make a case that Volstad shouldn't have even made the team this year because he's awful (he's never been a good pitcher) but not only did he make the team but he earned himself basically a guaranteed spot in the starting rotation. I say replace Volstad with Brian Sanches and get Volstad out of that roster. Don't even put him in the bullpen. He's dead weight and he's taking up space. Some moves need to be made all around but Edwin Rodriguez is not making them. With the proper management, they are a team that could be in first place. The problem is mismanagement. What's your take on the Marlins?
