Oh how we all forget that Garrett Cooper was the starting right fielder for the Miami Marlins when they faced the Chicago Cubs on Opening Day last year. It’s an easy thing to do, given the outfielder was on the disabled list and in the minor leagues more than he was part of the parent club in 2018.
A wrist injury, the result of being plunked on the wrist by the Cubs Kyle Hendricks turned what many thought would be a promising season in 2018 into something Cooper and the Marlins might want to forget.
