The Miami Marlins might have exited out of their plan to compete last season, however the talent wasn’t going to cut it – and they were able to restock the system with some talent, despite not having an chance to compete in 2013. Hopefully the ownership will buck up some cash when the team improves a little.

The Miami Marlins are known for doing a gazillion transactions throughout the year.  Jeffrey Loria and CO. are always looking for ways to save dollars, become younger, and fill the Minor League System with players.

Since the team has won 2 World Series it is time in the MLB (21 Years), some people are even willing to give the franchise some credit, although most of that was attributed to the previous ownership regimes.

They are loaded with a multitude of young players that are highly touted and talented.  The biggest question to ask is how they are going to move forward with Giancarlo Stanton?

2014 will be an interesting campaign for Miami.  They have to hope that a lot of their several young players can mature and prosper, as they are in the same Division as the Washington Nationals and the Atlanta Braves.

Jose Fernandez has given the Marlins fanbase a reason to look forward to the future. Fernandez should be a top candidate for NL Rookie Of The Year, and may even receive some NL CY Young Votes, with his 10 -6 record, and a sparkling 2.33 ERA in 26 Game Starts and 158.1 IP. Fernandez was picked 14th overall in the 2013 MLB Amateur Draft. The 21 Year Old is under team control til 2019, and won’t be eligible for Arbitration until 2016.

Giancarlo Stanton is under team control until 2017 – and also is in Pre-Arbitration right now as we speak. The franchise can definitely build around this guy. I think a lot of the people in Miami can judge the ownership on their willingness to put a competitive product – by whether or not they will sign the OF to a long-term contract. If the club decides to trade him, he will net a king’s ransom back in return. Stanton has battled injuries to 3 Slash .249/.365/.833 – with 18 HRs and 43 RBI in 346 AB. It is really easy to bypass the slugger in the lineup, with the weak offense the rest of the lineup has.

Jeff Kleiner:  “I have been a sports fan since the first Baseball game I went to at Comisky Park in Chicago in 1959, when baseball for me turned from black and white to color.

I have attended or watched thousands of games, always paying attention to statistics, rosters and salaries of all professional sports.

Luckily I had the advantage of watching WGN TV and seeing hundreds of games in the 60’s. Collecting Baseball Cards and then later dealing them gave me an extra sense of the sport, both good and bad.”
