Miami does not want to have to use its depth, and that is an ideal approach.
Miami was forced to rely on its starting pitching depth in 2015. But the club does not want to depend on its youthful starters in 2016, according to Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald, and that approach should prove to be beneficial moving forward.
Jarred Cosart and Henderson Alvarez were sidelined for most of the season with injuries, and as a result, the Marlins were forced to turn to Justin Nicolino, Adam Conley and Jose Urena.
