The Marlins made the playoffs for the first time since 2003. They didn’t win a championship as they did in 2003 but made significant strides on the back of an extremely young team. In reviewing their minor league system, seven of the Top 10 players spent time on the Marlins roster this year. While I didn’t go back to see if that was a record, it sure feels like one. Some of these players made significant contributions to the cause.
First and foremost was the number one player on the list, Sixto Sanchez. He came out throwing 100 MPH showing the kind of Moxy on the mound you want to see from a number one starter. While Edward Cabrera did not make it to the show, I consider him a close second to Sanchez. He has the stuff and athleticism to also pitch at the top of the rotation. Jazz Chisholm is the top-ranked positional player and while he struggled in his debut, he has the tools to be a star. The question is, will he hit enough?
