For what it’s worth…
At $450MM, Loria triples his initial “purchase” of $150MM; If he sells in the next 6 years, he would owe Miami percentage of equity (5%-10%).
You can read more about this in the Assurance Agreement here.
Is Ozzie on the hot Seat? @Ken_Rosenthal thinks so. Loria has replaced quite a few managers in the past 10 years. http://t.co/kEt3u7VL
Congrats to @OzzieGuillen for being chosen as one of @Time 140 Best Twitter Feeds of 2012. @LoMoMarlins was snubbed. http://t.co/vpxaEgU1
As part of their MLB Season Preview Grantland’s Jonah Keri looked at the 2012 Marlins from a Sabermetric perspective. His conclusions:
IF EVERYTHING BREAKS RIGHT
Reyes leads a massive offensive improvement, Johnson returns to Cy Young-caliber form, the aging and injury-wracked Phillies lose their iron grip on the division, and the Fish win the East. We’re still three years and one league switch away from a Back to the Future prophecy, though.IF EVERYTHING GOES WRONG
Even in a worst-case scenario, the addition of a second wild card and a lack of dominant teams in the National League (PECOTA doesn’t see a single 90-win team) puts the Marlins in the mix, even if Ramirez’s slide continues and the starting pitching isn’t as strong as hoped.
Only logical explanation is that @OzzieGuillen has perfect grammer and speaks understandable English and what we’re seeing is just for show
Ozzie in mid-season form – ejected in a nationally televised Spring Training game. Gives him more time to pre-tape segments for Showtime.
Will Manso of Channel 10 has a short video from David Samson’s speech. The clip is short but shows the most “controversial” claim that he called Miamians stupid (he did not). You can see the Showtime cameras to the left so I suspect this episode will end up on the show.
Here’s the link to Will’s article: David Samson did not say people in Miami aren’t smart
Marlins down 4-0 to the Mets in the 4th. No hits yet. Fact: Mets have never thrown a no-hitter but have one in Spring Training (3/21/65).
