Six days and counting. The Miami Marlins season opener against the Colorado Rockies is March 28. For baseball fans like myself, it’s Christmas and spring.
After watching this team show that it could be a competitive ball club this spring, I am not ready to shut the door on the possibility of this franchise being one of the surprises of the baseball season. Of course, time will tell.
The Marlins are in their second year of a rebuild and reorganization. The first year under new ownership yielded 63 wins. With many new faces on the roster and the growth and development of young potential stars, there’s no telling how many wins they produce.
