Over their 29-year history, the Florida/Miami Marlins have had some incredible individual player performances. While these efforts have translated to only modest team success—three playoff appearances and two World Series championships—the Marlins have done an outstanding job identifying and developing talent. Whether homegrown or acquired via trade or free agency, this franchise has had more than its fair share of truly special players.
Subtracting 1994 and 1995 because of the MLB players’ strike and 2020 because of COVID issues leaves us with 26 “full” Marlins seasons. I set out to construct a 26-man roster featuring an individual season from each of those years without using any player more than once.
