Here's the writeups on Marlins' specific players:

 

 

 

2. JEREMY HERMIDA, of, Carolina Mudcats (Marlins)

Age: 21 Ht: 6-4 Wt: 200 B-T: L-R Drafted/Signed: Marlins '02 (1)

 

The most disciplined hitter in the league?he led the league in walks and on-base percentage?Hermida drew so many free passes that he registered just 386 at-bats, which curtailed his power numbers. After hitting eight home runs in April, he hit just 10 more the rest of the way. But with his silky-smooth lefthanded swing and his raw power, he'll be a middle-of-the-order threat in the majors.

 

"He's got 18 home runs, and if he's got a cheap one, it's just one," Carolina manager Gary Allenson said. "He hit a ball off the scoreboard in Montgomery in left-center field that was still going up when it hit the scoreboard. I'd actually like to see him be a bit more aggressive at the plate, but part of that is the pitchers pitching around him too."

 

Hermida jammed his left wrist sliding and tailed off in August, but he recovered in time to contribute to the Marlins' playoff chase. He became just the second big leaguer to hit a grand slam in his first at-bat and should become a full-time regular in spring training. He's a solid defender with an above-average arm in right field.

 

11. SCOTT OLSEN, lhp, Carolina Mudcats (Marlins)

Age: 21 Ht: 6-4 Wt: 200 B-T: L-L Drafted/Signed: Marlins '02 (6)

 

Before elbow inflammation caused the Marlins to shut him down in late July, Olsen had made his major league debut and looked promising in five appearances filling in for the injured Josh Beckett. Olsen was somewhat inconsistent in the SL, but his power arm and aggressive approach were evident.

 

Olsen's best pitch is a 92-94 mph fastball that tops out at 96 with late life. His slider has good depth, though he needs to throw his changeup more if he plans on a career as a big leaguer. Getting stronger also would help.

 

"The way he attacked the zone, he stuck it to us," Dickerson said. "He's a live-armed lefty, he works both side of the plate and throws all his pitches for strikes. He's always working ahead, not afraid to attack hitters.
