Plate appearance: 28-of-76
Seasonal Outlook: Coming into the 2010 season, the Florida Marlins were trying to build on their two winning seasons in a row. They had completed the 2009 campaign with an 87-75 mark, placing them second in the National League East behind the Philadelphia Phillies by six games. Instead of getting themselves ahead of the pack, however, they were standing in place. After the events of July 4th, the Florida Marlins sat fourth in the NL East, nine-and-a-half games behind the division leading Atlanta Braves, seven-and-a-half behind the New York Mets, and four-and-a-half behind the Phillies.
