MIAMI -- Down a brightly lit hallway that leads to a section of luxury suites at the Miami Marlins' stadium, where each room is filled with fans cheering on the home team, the door to the last suite is closed. Inside sits Kim Ng. No entourage, no buddies from college, no staff checking in. With a laptop, an iPad and a water bottle, the Marlins' general manager sits with the lights off, watching the game alone.
It's just before the MLB All-Star break, and second baseman Luis Arraez is chasing a .400 batting average, a feat not accomplished since 1999.
