The Party Is In Miami

Looks like Will Smith had it right all along when he wrote the hit song some time ago “Welcome to Miami”. The Miami Marlins have made the biggest splashes of the offseason thus far by inking Jose Reyes and Mark Buehrle to long term deals. Reyes’ deal is a backloaded contract to ease the transition […]

Fish make a big splash…in a shallow pool

2011 Fantasy Baseball Projections: What’s Wrong With Florida Marlins’ Hanley Ramirez?

The consensus No. 2 pick before the season started, Hanley Ramirez has done little to justify his draft position. Through 181 at-bats this season, Ramirez is flirting with the Mendoza Line (.210) and sports a Jason Bartlett-like OPS (.618). To make matters worse, Ramirez was removed from Sunday’s game after the first inning with lower back stiffness. He […]

Not a single one of them played for […]

Marlins Starting Pitching Is A Sleeping Giant In The N.L. East

JUPITER, FL- As I watched the New York Mets defeat the Florida Marlins in a sloppy 11-2 affair on Monday, I couldn’t help but ponder how different the two N.L. East rivals are. Much has been written about the New York Mets recent under-achieving, particularly 2009 where they finished 70-92 with the National League’s highest […]

However, the question is whether the Marlins have the experience needed to catapult pass the Phillies and claim the title. At the start of the […]

Hanley Ramirez: Is He the Best Shortstop in Baseball?

Playing for the Florida Marlins is about as close as Major League Baseball can come to having a site in the witness protection program, but even toiling away in anonymity, shortstop Hanley Ramirez is turning heads and creating a name for himself as one of the best young players in the game. A year after […]

Marlins Must Prove That Talent Trumps Experience

Florida Marlins Off Season Report

Season Wrap Up Although the Marlins finished 7.5 games out in the NL East in 2008, they didn’t have a bad season.

Pete’s Perspective     The font page of their team website should read: Under Construction! What in the world are they doing?! While they’re at it, they might as well trade Hanley Ramirez, Kevin Gregg and Dan Uggla as well! All three would get a lot of interest, especially Ramirez. I bet they could get a lot […]
