The MLB “trade deadline” sets in today at 4pm. It is a looming thing because right now, you are looking at one of the better teams since the All Star Break in the Florida Marlins. They are 10-5 during that stretch, putting them up the charts a bit. The NL East standings haven’t changed too much – the Braves continue [...]

Looks like that Ian Kinsler injury turned out to be something the Rangers didn’t want to wait for, and the Fish lose a classy player in Jorge Cantu. One last, “hip hip, Jorge!” for the steady player that was left on the heap when he came to Florida. He now leaves as a respected run producer that can play both [...]

Proving to be more than just an answer to a trivia question (Who was the first ever manager in the bigs to be a native from Puerto Rico?), Edwin Rodriguez had the winning touch as the Marlins fought back from a 4-0 deficit to beat the O’s 7-5. It took a home run fest with Gaby Sanchez (8th) and Jorge [...]

Nick Johnson will arrive in the lineup tonight and it will signify big changes for the Marlins. How long those changes stay in effect is the debate. Johnson will bat 2nd in the lineup, according to reports. His high on base percentage (.408) will give Hanley Ramirez plenty of chances to drive in more runs. This is a great thing [...]

Gaby Sanchez left the University of Miami as a firstbaseman, but now is facing his professional future at another position: thirdbase. Every beat writer has been latching on to this story and its possibility, but our own MarlinAddict kind of put the observation out there first. Since he came back from injury, Gaby Sanchez has been playing third base and [...]

April 14, 2009 in Awards by jonnylons
Quite an opening week for the Fish as they splash their way to the best start in baseball, 5-1 but also see several of their players get nominated for NL Player of the Week. The award belongs to Josh Johnson, however, as he would put up some very nice numbers to kick off his 2009 campaign. With an ERA of [...]

There is a rumor floating around that the next piece to be shipped out of Miami is Jorge Cantu and he may be heading to San Francisco as the Giants are looking to improve their horrid offense from last season. The target? Jonathan Sanchez, the 26 year old starter who went 9-15 last season with a 5.01 ERA. Sanchez shows [...]

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 [...]

Cameron Maybin and Gaby Sanchez have both been called up to the big leagues and are in a pretty good situation to be making their debuts. For Maybin, it has been a rocky season of sorts – traded from the Tigers and with a chance to break spring training as a Marlin was sent to the minors for more seasoning. [...]
