Marlins Focused On Re-Signing Dobbs

By Tim Dierkes | December 27, 2011 at 8:57am CDT

The Marlins' immediate priority is to re-sign utility player Greg Dobbs, reports MLB.com's Joe Frisaro.  He says the team hopes to finalize a deal soon.  The Nationals had also been in the mix for Dobbs, but Frisaro's colleague Bill Ladson tweeted four days ago they were unlikely to sign him.   

Dobbs, 33, hit .275/.311/.389 in a career-high 439 plate appearances for the Marlins this year.  He logged 755 innings at third base, also pitching in at first base and the outfield corners.  A left-handed hitter, Dobbs has struggled against southpaws in his career.  As a pinch-hitter, he has a career line of .259/.316/.430 in 316 plate appearances.  The Marlins offered Dobbs a two-year deal in late September, writes Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post.

Frisaro also notes that the Marlins are not expected to sign any more big-ticket free agents, but they're exploring the trade market for frontline starters.  He says the Marlins aren't seeking competition for the back end of the rotation, though Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald wrote recently that they're casting a wide net.

    He was great for the Marlins last season, and I got the feeling the Marlin and Dobbs liked each other.

    the marlins better look for back of the rotation help or your signings will be meaningless……better hope you can get vazquez to un-retire because you will be stuck with…..volstead and all the  other inconsistant rubbish you have….as far as dobbs…..good player, it would serve you well to resign him

    Dobbs is SOOOOO under rated.  He is a true veteran and leader…not to mention a solid bat and a versatile glove.  Dobbs was hitting over .300 most of the season when he had routine play time…
