The Marlins have had a rough go of it after going for a playoff spot with big offseasons in 2011 and 2014. Neither produced a winning team and the pride of the Marlins still is Giancarlo Stanton and Jose Fernandez. The Marlins still have Dee Gordon, Marcell Ozuna, Christian Yelich, and Adeiny Hechavarria. The Marlins have a thin minor league system to get the secondary talent to win though. They’ll need to have a big draft this year or risk trading some of the young talent for top prospects. Here’s their top 20:
Based on last year numbers and projection, I see Stone Garrett ranking in top 2 of the organization.
