Throughout the 2016-17 offseason, Fish Stripes is detailing the 100 players with the most impact on Marlins’ victory throughout their existence. From 1993 through today, each of the 528 players to have appeared in a game for the team were considered. I used the Wins Above Replacement (WAR) metric to order the finalists. Number 100, Adam Conley, had a 2.0 WAR. Today’s Marlin, Javier Vazquez, totaled 2.9 while with the team.
Vazquez was a 6’2”, 210 lb. right-hander from Ponce, Puerto Rico. Born on July 25th, 1976, he was drafted by the Montreal Expos in the fifth round of the 1994 amateur draft.
