We also happen to look at some stats. I don't see where the problem with that is. I’m sure most of us watch the games. We also happen to look at some stats.

He belongs at 3rd and Coghlan belongs at 2B. About trading for DeRosa, I do not see that happening due to the fact that the Marlins need bullpen help bad. Their best reliever is Kiko Calero, currently on the DL b/c of overuse. It puzzles me on why the Marlins havent sent Bonifacio down to the minors and bring up Gabby Sanchez, other than the fact that it leaves the team with only one speed guy (Coghlan). It doesnt seem as though Uggla will be traded this seaon due to the Marlins still in the hunt. The offseason should be another fun one in Miami, with Cantu/Uggla on the chopping block.

Uggla should be moved off of second base if somebody else, i.e. Coghlan, can play the position. Uggla's UZR numbers have been up and down but can generally be seen as "he's a poor second baseman." Not knowing anything about his arm strength, the team should at least try Uggla at third base to hide his range problems. Coghlan can return to second, a position he played throughout the minors, and any number of outfield solutions (Maybin, starting Brett Carroll, acquiring Mark DeRosa) can be used. The key isn't to replace Ross, who's been excellent, or Hermida, who's struggled but shows flashes, but to replace Bonifacio, who can't play at this level at this time.

Hopefully you subtracted the 25 games Maybin played CF for the Marlins when you state "Marlins CF aren't getting the job done" Otherwise you are proposing to replace those CF's with The CF who's #'s bring the collective CF's #'s down.

Have you even seen a game that he has played in person? Do you know what kind of break he gets on the ball? What kind of routes he takes? Have you spoken with scouts that have watched him play CF this year? Making a determination on a players worth strictly on statistics doesn't always give you an accurate value of a players worth. Ignoring statistics when making a judgement is lazy. In 43 games in CF this year Cody Ross has the top slug % of all CF in NL….his ZR has him 8th.

His UZR150 in CF is -3.6, but his career UZR150 in CF is 3.9. Ross is probably an average or slightly above average defender, though Cameron Maybin is probably better. Every player looks worse when you take away their hot streaks, but even if Ross was still hitting .266/.315/.472 with 13 HRs he would be a good CF. Also Cody Ross has a career ISO about .032 points higher than Mike Cameron. Ross’s -10.0 UZR150 is in RF. His UZR150 in CF is -3.6, but his career UZR150 in CF is 3.9.

Sort of a Kevin Millar type. Coghlan belongs in the majors as seen with his obp in recent weeks. Hermida has grown this year as a player and has helped the team more this year than in past years. The team is over-crowded on offense and are in need to make a move in the near future. They bats galore in the minors and need some bullpen help. Emilio belongs as the utility guy that gets a start every 5 games. The inability to bring maybin up for good rests upon the rigidity of the infield. Uggla can only play 2nd and Cantu can only play 1st, we all saw how bad he was at 3rd last year. It would have been nice for interleague to have been starting now so Ross/Hermida could DH and Maybin to play CF but that isnt the case. I expect the Marlins to bring Maybin up right after the all-star break and platoon him with hermida for the rest of the season...or better yet they make a deal to move uggla or bonafacio for a RP.
