For me, this time of year is one of my favorites. The NFL season is about to comes to an end and the Major League Baseball season is about to ramp up once more with the start of Spring Training. It’s the second year of the Miami Marlins rebuild and like most fans, I hope things will improve this coming season.
Hope is the magical word. Derek Jeter and the Marlins front office have improved the organization’s minor league system, and acquired young, solid pitchers to build the foundation for the future. Once the team finds a few bats with some power, this blueprint Jeter has talked about, might look a bit more concrete.
