Since the first installment of our Spring Training updates, the Marlins have removed 20 players from Opening Day roster consideration and started allocating more playing time to those who can seriously impact the major league club this season. We are beginning to get a clearer picture of who will be in Marlins Park on March 28, but several position battles rage on.
When regular season track record, scouting evaluations and service time factors aren’t enough to establish a pecking order, the Marlins may use spring stats as a tiebreaker.
Our first review included OF Lewis Brinson, 3B Brian Anderson, RHP Pablo López and RHP Sandy Alcántara.
