You know by now that I was an outspoken fan when Derek Jeter took over the Miami Marlins and dismantled then in less time than it took for the former New York Yankees icon to purchase the struggling franchise.
Granted, the Marlins had stars on their roster who were enjoying individual success, but as a franchise, it was safe to say it had become one of the most disappointing sports teams in any league. To watch night after night the likes of Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich and the late Jose Fernandez put out maximum effort with little return in the win column – it was as depressing as the grades from my final year in college.
