Give Greg Dobbs credit. He has already looked like an acquisition that has paid off for the Marlins through the first 8 games of the season. Brought in to be a bench player extraordinaire, much like Wes Helms, Dobbs filled in at 3rd base for the first time this season with his new team, the Marlins. Dobbs, who was a [...]

Javier Vazquez put the finishing touches on a one year deal with the Marlins for $7M on Thursday. Vazquez, 34, will be reunited – sort of – with the organization that gave him his big break. It was the front office of the Marlins that was the front office of the Expos back when Vazquez was breaking into the league. [...]

Juan C. Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel is reporting that Javier Vazquez is intrigued by the idea of pitching in South Florida next season. There are several reasons why this makes sense – Vazquez would be closer to his native Puerto Rico and he also already is on familiar terms with skipper Edwin Rodriguez who himself is a native [...]

It seems the Dan Uggla deal was part of a bigger move to overhaul the Marlins this offseason. With an offense that frequently struck out, and was unable to consistently put balls into play and move runners, the Marlins have decided to go back to their roots and focus on defense, pitching, and “small ball”. That said, John Buck had [...]

Looks like one more ex-Marlin will be joining the Braves. First it was Fredi Gonzalez to replace the man in Atlanta, Bobby Cox. Now, Fish fans have to suffer a bit more while they watch fan favorite Dan Uggla pack his bags for Atlanta, too. To say it has been a tough season for the Marlins is an understatement as [...]

The baby Fish keep growing and getting better. We got proof today with back-to-back jacks to start the game from Cameron Maybin and Logan Morrison. It was the first time in Marlins history this was done. For LoMo, it was his first ever MLB home run and it came in his 104th AB. Congrats, Wolverine. Here’s to the first of [...]

In a move that is probably about a month late, Cody Ross is leaving the Marlins. It was inevitable if the Fish couldn’t make an upward climb in the standings and it appears that they are firmly entrenched where they are now. So, you could say it was a classy move to get Cody Ross a chance at the playoffs [...]

That’s right, you know him, you love him – Ronny Paulino. He went and made a bonehead of himself and embarrassed the Fish a bit. He failed a drug test and will now serve a 50 game suspension which means he is out the rest of this season (42 games including tonight’s) and 8 games of next season. Juan C. [...]

And just like that, the Fish are hitting the ball again. At 61-60, they are also back over .500. It has been a see-saw season (say that three times fast) for sure, but there are things to watch for of course. Sure, the Marlins aren’t going to make the playoffs but look at it this way, the Braves will and [...]

It was a strange night where the Fish couldn’t seem to avoid a rain delay – in another part of the country. There was a void at Nationals Park, too. (Both elements must have made the Marlins feel like they were at home.) There was a late night, a triple turned into a home run, and an oversized ginger kid [...]
