SlapHands69 Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 It's only fitting that we now talk about the Most underrated Marlins. Is there a Marlin player who didn't get enough recognition for his efforts? I have a few in mind. Dave Berg- Guy could play every position outside of Catcher and Pitcher. in 1998 and 1999 played some really solid baseball. Pat Rapp- Might get some heat for this one but he did pitch quality baseball his first 3 years with the Marlins. However he really struggled his last years with the club. One of the top Marlins win leaders. Bruce Aven- In 1999 posted up some solid numbers. One of the few highlights during that season. Joe Strong- Was a Rookie at the age of 38. Great feel good story in some dark times. Maybe shouldnt be considered as a underrated player but did have his time in the sun. Chuck Smith- Pitched great in 2000 with a 3.23 ERA Honorable Mention-Alex Arias, Danny Bautista, Chris Clapinski, Andy Fox, and my brain is fried so can you guys just add some more names on. :thumbup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rferry Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Retired Marlin: Jim Eisenreich. When people think of 1997 world champion bench they remember Cangelosi, Castillo and Daulton but this clutch hitter is never given his due. Former Marlin: Ryan Dempster. A solid backline innings eater for some of our teams that were desperate for pitching, starting and relief. Current Marlin: Mike Redmond. Best backup catcher out in the game... this year and in my recent memory. When given the chance has always stepped up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
