Offseason Preview - Florida Marlins (Part Two)
Lineup Projection
C. John Baker
1b. Gaby Sanchez
2b. Alfredo Amezaga
3b. Dan Uggla - Should move over with a trade of Cantu.
ss. Hanley Ramirez - Quite possibly the best hitter in the National League outside of Albert Pujols. He keeps getting bigger though, and third base in a couple of years doesn’t seem out of the question.
lf. Cody Ross
cf. Cameron Maybin - It’s Maybin time in Florida, the Marlins should be rewarded for keeping him in the minors for most of last season with a breakout campaign in 2009.
rf. Jeremy Hermida
sp1 - Ricky Nolasco - Ace in the making may need to use more than just his fastball this season.
sp2 - Josh Johnson
sp3 - Andrew Miller - Still a young and hard throwing left hander but he has taken a number of beatings on the hill for Florida and Detroit.
sp4 - Chris Volstad
sp5 - Anibal Sanchez - Can he recover the form that saw him throw a no hitter and dominate two years ago?
closer - Matt Lindstrom -Flamethrower can really bring it on the mound and should get the first look at the closer role.
Good catch on the Marlins thing, too much late night copy and paste with the positional format. Write 30 of them and you’ll understand
I mentioned Cantu where Uggla is, I’m pretty sure they are going to try and trade him as his value is as high as it can be after his big season as you mentioned. Guess we’ll see!
