Minor league baseball player is one of the world’s most unique and stressful professions. You’re always pursuing individual promotions within the confines of a team sport, and many of the factors that dictate those opportunities are outside of your control. Every game can feel like a glorified exhibition designed only to help MLB executives project how somebody with your abilities would perform at the highest level. Oh, and the salary sucks.
In constructing this 2019 Marlins All-Minor League team, I tried to simplify things. A lot. Fish Stripes is rewarding the most productive players in the organization at each position, regardless of age, tools and prospect rankings.
