I know that the Miami Marlins aren’t supposed to be competitive in a very strong National League East Division in 2019. I know the other four teams are just loaded with an embarrassment of riches. I know that the Marlins farm system is better than it has been in years, but their success, and the system’s status is predicated on future production. And that the improved minor league system will yield positive results in two or three years, maybe.
On the other hand, I know that our exciting starting rotation is, for the most part, a success in abstract; a group of players that should do well in the regular season.
