The kid can pitch. Chances are, you don’t even know where he came from, or who he is. Drafted in the 32nd round out of high school back in 2006, Sanabia has quietly worked his way into a spot on the parent club and he hasn’t looked back. Facing a tough Mets lineup, he was able to cobble together 6 [...]

For the most part, the Nick Johnson era kicked off blissfully in Miami yesterday. The Italians have a saying, you know how the day is going to be based on its morning. Well, that means Johnson will have a pretty good impact here for the Fish – his first hit was an RBI double that he got thrown out at [...]

Brett Carroll and Sean West may want to keep a clipping of this game somewhere special. That is, if people still do such things nowadays. Carroll was the offense for the Marlins tonight – and against Randy Johnson nonetheless. Carroll went 3-4 with a homer, a triple and 3 RBIs to guide the offense to a win tonight. Carroll also [...]

Sean West is going to make his debut start today against the suddenly unstoppable Rays but he will offer the Marlins something they need more of – pitching that can generate outs without relying on defense. Basically, he can strike out hitters. At 6’8″ with a mid 90′s fastball, West has been seen as a big part of the Marlins [...]

The score was 8-5 and Alfredo Amezaga was on 1B with Ross Gload at the plate. With a crack of the bat the ball sailed down the RF line and appeared to be a home run, putting the Marlins right back in the mix. Instead, something historical happened: the home run was called off. The umpiring crew got together and [...]

The Marlins announced Sunday that left-handed pitcher John Koronka would be called up to face lefty, Manny Parra in the opening game against the Brewers, after right-handed pitcher Anibal Sanchez left the game during the 5th inning against the Braves on May 7th because of some sort of pain he felt in his right shoulder, only to find out that [...]

The Marlins are not favoring well in their trade with Detroit last year. Sure, Dontrelle Willis has melted down but Miguel Cabrera continues to produce. In return, the Marlins were hoping to reap from the potentials of Andrew Miller and Cameron Maybin. Both were excellent prospects coming out of the Detroit system that filled immediate needs – CF and a [...]

The thought in the Marlins organization is to move Hanley Ramirez down to the third spot in the order so as to make him more of a run producer. I have said in the past that Hanley’s best spot in the lineup, the place he will see his value as a player maximized, is at the lead off spot. Hanley [...]

That’s right: history, baby, pure history. The Hall of Fame is calling and they want a piece of the Marlins 2008 infield. Why? Because they are the first team ever to have their entire infield hit over 25 home runs each. And the season isn’t even over yet. Mike Jacobs, Dan Uggla, Hanley Ramirez and Jorge Cantu have all climbed [...]
