These are the early sounds of spring training! Yes, it is finally here, the greatest time of year were every team is hopeful and everyone is getting a plan together. Here are a couple of things that the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prospects1500.com\/miami-marlins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Marlins\">Marlins<\/a> have going on that I would suggest keeping a watchful eye on.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li><strong>Gordon and Stanton\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; if the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prospects1500.com\/miami-marlins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Marlins\">Marlins<\/a> offense is going to be successful they will need Gordon and Stanton to produce at the level they are being paid. Stanton just needs to get through the year without taking a trip to the DL and Gordon needs to get his past issues behind him and set the table for the rest of the offense. If Stanton and Gordon are right that will take the pressure of Realmuto, Yelich, Ozuna, and Bour. Bour may find himself in a platoon situation which may limit his AB\u2019s but he doesn\u2019t handle left handing pitching well anyway.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Rotation<\/strong>&#8211; the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prospects1500.com\/miami-marlins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Marlins\">Marlins<\/a> lack a true ace on this team. Who will tote that title this year? Anyone? The contestants for starting pitcher of the Miami <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prospects1500.com\/miami-marlins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Marlins\">Marlins<\/a> are:a. Chen<br \/>\nb. Volquez<br \/>\nc. Conley<br \/>\nd. Koehler<br \/>\ne. Straily<br \/>\nf. Locke<br \/>\ng. Urena<br \/>\nh. Nicolino<br \/>\ni. DespaigneThis sure isn\u2019t a who\u2019s who of elite starting pitching but they do have strength in numbers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chen<\/strong> will lead the way and had a quality year last year. He would be my best guess for opening day starter if everything stays the same.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Volquez<\/strong> signed this offseason for two years to the tune of $22M. He will eat up some innings for the next couple of years to give the young prospects time to develop but I would be cautious signing him up for your fantasy team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conley<\/strong> had a disappointing year last year but he showed enough to be a back of the rotation starter and if he could improve his control could move up to a legit 3rd starter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Koehler<\/strong> was less than spectacular last year but he will be given the chance to claim a rotation spot but it may be more challenging for him to keep that spot all year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Locke<\/strong> will compete for a rotation spot but his destiny for the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prospects1500.com\/miami-marlins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Marlins\">Marlins<\/a> is middle relief.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Urena<\/strong> is the wild card of the group. He is young, only 25, and he has proven to be effective in the minors. In 750 IP in the minors he has a 1.22 WHIP, if he can translate that to this level he could be a solid back of the rotation starter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nicolino<\/strong> started the year of in the rotation last year but ended up needing a tune-up in the minors before being recalled to man the bullpen. He will get a shot at starting but best guess is he ends up in the pen or the minors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Despaigne<\/strong> is at the end of his chances. He has to prove he can handle big league hitters or he will not break camp with the team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Straily<\/strong> is the one pitcher in this list who could emerge as the ACE of the staff by seasons end. He needs to have a good spring but he should open the year as the 3rd starter on the team. Last year he pitched to the tune of a 1.19 WHIP and he logged over 190 innings. On other teams he would be a solid middle of the rotation guy but the reason the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prospects1500.com\/miami-marlins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Marlins\">Marlins<\/a> moved 3 prospects was to take the chance on him continuing to regain form from his Oakland days and lead the rotation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Below is my updated top 50 for the Miami <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prospects1500.com\/miami-marlins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Marlins\">Marlins<\/a> minor league organization. I am looking forward to your comments. I welcome any feedback and suggestions and my take is more from a fantasy baseball perspective. I am leaving traded players in my list and just adding new players to the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>Prospects1500 Tiers:<br \/>\nTier 1: Players with high expectations of both making the majors and playing at an All-Star level for a number of years<br \/>\nTier 2: Players with an above average expectation of making the majors and being a solid contributor<br \/>\nTier 3: Players with an average expectation of making the majors and being a solid contributor<br \/>\nTier 4: Players who have the potential of making the majors, or have high likelihood of making the majors but providing minimal impact (e.g. middle reliever, low-ceiling UT guys)<br \/>\nTier 5: Players who are worth keeping an eye on, but likely to never make a team\u2019s 40-man roster<\/p>\n<h3>Tier 1<br \/>\nNone at this time<\/h3>\n<h3>Tier 2<\/h3>\n<p>1. <strong>Braxton Garrett, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge: 19 (DOB: 8\/5\/1997)<br \/>\nThe Miami <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prospects1500.com\/miami-marlins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Marlins\">Marlins<\/a> first round pick in the 2016. He has 3 pitches in his current portfolio and his fastball sits around 88-93 MPH. His changeup needs a little work but at 19 years old he will have a couple of years to polish it up. He has a curveball that has been described as NASTY (in a good way). Garrett is tall, left-handed, athletic, and he has a repeatable delivery, 3\/ arm slot, and excellent command leading many scouts to project him as a top of the rotation starter. He will needs some time in the minors but keep him on your radar he could move to the tier once category quickly.<\/p>\n<h3>Tier 3<\/h3>\n<p>2. <strong>Brian Anderson, 3B<\/strong><br \/>\nAge: 23 (DOB 5\/19\/1993)<br \/>\nAnderson\u2019s power is developing. He has a good bating eye leading to a good OBP. With a good showing in double A he should make an appearance in September. I project him to have similar numbers to the man currently manning the hot corner.<\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>Luis Castillo, P<\/strong> | TRADED TO <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prospects1500.com\/cincinnati-reds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Reds\">Reds<\/a><br \/>\nAge: 24 (DOB 12\/12\/1992)<br \/>\nCastillo has good fastball and his fastball sits in the high 90\u2019s. He has a high ground ball rate and his slider is a great second offering. Not a lot of swing and miss stuff to his game but if he can keep the other team of balance then he could find success in the majors. He ended up in double A last year that\u2019s where he should be heading to start the season.<\/p>\n<p>4. <strong>Jarlin Garcia, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge: 24 (DOB 1\/18\/1993)<br \/>\nGarcia is a southpaw that tosses his fastball in the low to mid 90\u2019s. He has a respectable slider and shows solid command of all his pitches. Look for him to repeat double A and a move to the bullpen could be in his future depending on how he progresses.<\/p>\n<p>5. <strong>Tyler Kolek, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge: 21 (DOB 12\/15\/1995)<br \/>\nKolek the first round pick in 2014 spent 2016 recovering from TJ surgery. Kolek has a huge arm hitting the triple digits but he needed better control of his secondary offerings. In his first full year he lacked in strike out rate and his WHIP was 1.56. Scouts say he could be a #2 starter, I say let\u2019s see how his recovery goes and reevaluate.<\/p>\n<p>6. <strong>Thomas Jones, OF<\/strong><br \/>\nAge: 19 (DOB 12\/9\/1997)<br \/>\nJones showed good OBP in his brief 64 AB first season. The 2016 third round pick did notch 6 SB. He has the feel of a typical leadoff hitter as long as he can get on base and keep the caught stealing down. Look for him in A ball this year.<\/p>\n<p>7. <strong>Austin Dean, OF<\/strong><br \/>\nAge: 23 (DOB 10\/14\/1993)<br \/>\nDean turned some doubles into homers from 15 to 16 but at the cost of OBP, lost stolen bases from 2015, if power can develop and strikeouts drop could be everyday LF. Should start the year in double A and could reach the bigs in September with a strong showing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Stone Garrett, OF<\/strong><br \/>\nAge: 21 (11\/22\/1995)<br \/>\nGarret saw his OBP drop in 2016, his power numbers dipped, and his strikeouts increase. This is a real pivotal year for his status as a prospect. He should start in A ball and he will have to prove that he can rebound from last year\u2019s poor showing.<\/p>\n<p>9.<strong> Austin Brice, P<\/strong> | TRADED TO <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prospects1500.com\/cincinnati-reds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Reds\">Reds<\/a><br \/>\nAge 24 (DOB 6\/19\/1992)<br \/>\nBrice has strikeout per inning stuff as a RP in 15 game taste year, competing for spot in ST and could be set up man by mid-season, unless they send down to work on being a starter.<\/p>\n<p>10. <strong>Cody Poteet, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 22 (DOB 7\/30\/1994)<br \/>\nPoteet has close to strike out per inning stuff , 1.30 whip in 24 starts, has a deep arsenal and projects as a 4th or 5th starter. Should start the year out in A ball but if he can cut down on walks his prospect status could increase.<\/p>\n<p>11. <strong>Tomas Telis, C<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 25 (DOB 6\/18\/1991)<br \/>\nRealmuto\u2019s back up, minor league career .331 OBP good contact hitter lacks power, good glove former SS. If given an everyday job could more then hold his own with the glove and would not be a liability with the stick.<\/p>\n<p>12. <strong>Dillon Peters, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 24 (8\/31\/1992)<br \/>\nPeters has good control of the zone, 1.08 whip in 2015, craft pitcher if he can harness his stuff could be a 3 or 4 starter in the bigs but time will tell his future.<\/p>\n<p>13. <strong>Isael Soto, OF<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 20 (DOB 11\/2\/1996)<br \/>\nSoto improved his walks but more improvement needed, average is low needs to cut down on SO, plus raw power that could develop when matures. High ceiling if he can fix some flaws.<\/p>\n<p>14. <strong>Jeff Brigham, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 24 (DOB 2\/16\/1992)<br \/>\nBrigham has a high whip 1.41 career, 112 so to 47 bb but should improve the further away from TJ he gets. Predicting to be a 4th or 5th starter.<\/p>\n<p>15. <strong>Brett Lilek, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 23 (DOB 8\/23\/1993)<br \/>\nIf Lilek can get over the injury issues he could be a diamond in the rough, big year for him this year to see if he will remain as a starter or move to the pen, has the stuff needed to be a productive SP 3-5th starter potential ceiling, floor left specialist.<\/p>\n<h3>Tier 4<\/h3>\n<p>16. <strong>Avery Romero, 3B<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 23 (DOB 5\/11\/1993)<br \/>\nRomero reached Double A in 2016 but still not improving in OBP, needs big year or may be utility player in the bigs.<\/p>\n<p>17. <strong>Corey Bird, OF<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 21 (DOB 8\/11\/1995)<br \/>\nBird had 16 Sb in 219 at bats. Needs to improve OBP and average but didn\u2019t show much power with zero home runs and only 6 doubles. Could develop into a typical leadoff hitter.<\/p>\n<p>18. <strong>Sean Reynolds, OF<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 18 (DOB 4\/19\/1998)<br \/>\nReynolds has big time power potential capable of tape measure home runs, needs to shorten his swing but talent is present, may convert to pitcher if can\u2019t get swing. Beware he did have 64 strikeouts in 148 at bats.<\/p>\n<p>19. <strong>Drew Steckenrider, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 26 (DOB 1\/10\/1991)<br \/>\nSteckenrider should battle for bullpen spot in ST, in 2016 had 71 SO to 19 walks .85 whip, struggled a little in AAA but has look of a MLB closer but could pitch this year as set-up man later in the season.<\/p>\n<p>20. <strong>Justin Jacome, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 23 (DOB 10\/19\/1993)<br \/>\nJacome has a high whip 1.41 career. He had 47 strikeouts to 36 BB in 2016. He will be headed back to Single A to lower his walks and increase his strikeouts.<\/p>\n<p>21. <strong>Jordan Holloway, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 20 (DOB 6\/13\/1996)<br \/>\nHolloway had a high whip 1.67 in 48IP starter but also had 41 strikeouts, still developing his pitching motion and should adjust this year<\/p>\n<p>22.<strong> Roy Morales, C<br \/>\n<\/strong>Age21 (DOB 6\/25\/1995)<br \/>\nMorales showed good OBP skills. The power should come with further development. Catchers generally take a little longer because of the defensive requirements.<\/p>\n<p>23. <strong>Jake Esch, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 26 (DOB 3\/27\/1990)<br \/>\nEsch got the call in 16, 3 games started, 13 IP, 10 strikeouts, 6 BB with a 1.77 whip. He has a career WHIP of 1.32 in MILB. He will be competing in ST and may end up in the pen or back in Triple A for further development.<\/p>\n<p>24. <strong>John Norwood, OF<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 24 (DOB 9\/24\/1992)<br \/>\nNorwood improved OBP but power went down, still 20+ doubles power should come back, Strikeouts are high, will need to limit those but could be 20\/20 guy (high ceiling) or 4th our 5th OF.<\/p>\n<p>25. <strong>Raudel Lazo, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 27 (DOB 4\/12\/1989)<br \/>\nLazo has a career 1.11 whip as RP in minors performed well in 2015 when called up, could battle for bullpen spot in ST.<\/p>\n<p>26. <strong>Tayron Guerrero, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 26 (DOB 1\/9\/1991)<br \/>\nGuerrero working as a RP averaging a strikeout per IP in minor league career, has 2 innings to his credit as a RP in the show, could battle for rp spot in ST<\/p>\n<p>27. <strong>Isaiah White, OF<\/strong> | TRADED TO <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prospects1500.com\/cincinnati-reds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Reds\">Reds<\/a><br \/>\nAge 20 (DOB 1\/7\/1997)<br \/>\nOBP declined, SB declined, AVG declined, strikeouts increased but still young and has tools to rebound and raise his prospect status.<\/p>\n<p>28. <strong>Yefri Perez, OF<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 25 (DOB 2\/24\/1991)<br \/>\nPerez has sb ability, 197 SB in minors, will compete in ST for backup OF spot.<\/p>\n<p>29. <strong>Garvis Lara, SS<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 20 (5\/19\/1996)<br \/>\n2016 was real cruel year for Lara. Let\u2019s see what this year has in store, scouts believe he could be an everyday SS but health may be the key.<\/p>\n<p>30. <strong>Edward Cabrera, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 18 (4\/13\/1998)<br \/>\nReally young, still tossed to a 1.36 whip in first pro-ball action. I would like to see more than 28 strikeouts and lower ERA (4.21) in 47 IP.<\/p>\n<p>31. <strong>Jhonny Santos, OF<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 20 (DOB 10\/2\/1996)<br \/>\nSantos\u2019s OBP regressed in 2016, no power and SB declined but he is still young and has time to turn it around.<\/p>\n<p>32. <strong>Justin Cohen, DH<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 20 (DOB 9\/26\/1996)<br \/>\nCohen has good OBP but still a small sample size. Look for a full year of AB to see development if he is afforded the AB\u2019s from the club.<\/p>\n<p>33.<strong> Justin Twine, 2B<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 21 (DOB 10\/7\/1995)<br \/>\nTwin showed slight improvement in OBP, may have a little pop for MI, decent speed, must cut down on SO and continue to improve OBP to become relevant in the prospect world.<\/p>\n<p>34. <strong>James Nelson, 3B<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 19 (DOB 10\/18\/1997)<br \/>\nNelson had solid start .344 OBP with 10 doubles and 7 steals in 162 AB.<\/p>\n<p>35. <strong>Aaron Knapp, OF<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 22 (DOB 11\/4\/1994)<br \/>\nKnapp had a .339 OBP in 1st year of pro-ball with 19 SB but caught 7 times. Strikeouts are a little alarming but another solid year will move him up this list.<\/p>\n<p>36. <strong>Jarett Rindfleisch, C<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 21 (DOB 9\/4\/1995)<br \/>\nRindlefleisch showed some great plate discipline with a .371 OBP in first taste of pro-ball. Power should develop but definitely worth keeping tabs on in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>37. <strong>Luis Pintor, 2B<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 21 (DOB 6\/6\/1995)<br \/>\nIn his first taste of action Pintor put together solid OBP (.344) and showed some decent speed with 7 SB in 109 at bats.<\/p>\n<p>38. <strong>J.J. Gould, 3B<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 23 (DOB 8\/22\/1993)<br \/>\nGould showed some power with 9 Hr and 15 doubles in 238 ab. Average and OBP need improvement to get to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>39. <strong>Walker Olis, OF<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 22 (DOB 5\/4\/1994)<br \/>\nOlis had 18 stolen bases in 199 at bats. He also showed his batting eye with a .345 OBP. He should start out in A ball again and if he can improve his average should be moving up the prospect list.<\/p>\n<p>40. <strong>Parker Bugg, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 22 (DOB 10\/26\/1994)<br \/>\nUsed as RP and in first year had a great whip (.91) and also went 4 for 4 in saves.<\/p>\n<p>41.<strong> Preston Guillory, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 23 (8\/16\/1993)<br \/>\nAveraged about a strikeout per inning, and had a stellar whip in rookie ball but in A ball that whip jumped. Guillory did go 3 for 3 in save opportunities.<\/p>\n<h3>Tier 5<\/h3>\n<p>42. <strong>Colby Lusignan, 1B<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 24 (DOB 11\/15\/1992)<br \/>\nLusignan had great rookie ball numbers but awful in A short. If he replicates that .422 OBP in A ball this year and adds some pop he will make the elite prospect status.<\/p>\n<p>43. <strong>Branden Berry, DH<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 23 (DOB 5\/19\/1993)<br \/>\nStarted off strong but the move to A(short) slowed him down. If he can replicate his .402 and add some power numbers he will be on the move through the organization.<\/p>\n<p>44. <strong>Trenton Hill, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 22 (DOB 3\/10\/1994)<br \/>\nHill\u2019s first taste of proball was solid averaging close to a strike out per inning, but mainly used in relief.<\/p>\n<p>45. <strong>Sam Perez, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 22 (DOB 8\/17\/1994)<br \/>\nPerez had a good showing in first taste of pro ball low whip 1.16 started half of the games.<\/p>\n<p>46. <strong>J.T. Riddle, SS<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 25 (10\/12\/1991)<br \/>\nRiddle needs improvement on OBP, avg around .275 not much speed, double type power depending on what he can add in the muscle dept., many scouts view as a utility player.<\/p>\n<p>47. <strong>Shane Sawczak, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 21 (DOB 11\/20\/1995)<br \/>\nSwaczak started strong but when called up got hammered in 2 IP in rp. Overall in first taste of pro-ball he pitched 34.2 innings with a 1.33 WHP.<\/p>\n<p>48. <strong>Eric Gutierrez, 1B<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 23 (DOB 12\/28\/1993)<br \/>\nGutierrez showed some power with 12 doubles and 5 HR in 200 ab, OBP and AVG need work.<\/p>\n<p>49. <strong>Alejando Mateo, P<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 23 (1\/8\/1994)<br \/>\nMateo was used as a RP in his first taste of pro-ball. 33 strikeouts in 34.1 innings suggest that he may have some ability.<\/p>\n<p>50. <strong>Zachary Daly, OF<\/strong><br \/>\nAge 23 (DOB 12\/13\/1993)<br \/>\nDaly was selected in round 37 of the 2016 draft and he makes the list as number 50 on the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prospects1500.com\/miami-marlins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Marlins\">Marlins<\/a> top 50 prospects.
