November 30, 200520 yr Obviously Hermida's the most obvious choice but Olsen and Petit are possibilities to have good seasons
November 30, 200520 yr Hermida is the highest potential and was nasty last year. And I really am excited to see this team play
November 30, 200520 yr Hermida will be the best, and possibly win ROY, but Mike Jacobs is a plain out stud and will be the best new Marlin...
November 30, 200520 yr 1. Hermida (ROY) 2. Jacobs 3. Johnson It's almost impossible for the Marlins not to have the National League Rookie of the year with the possibility of having 10 rooks on the team. (Knock on wood)
November 30, 200520 yr of the Marlins prospects, the ones I see being really good major leaguers are Jacobs, Hermida, and Ramirez...the rest will be mediocre at best (and before you flame me, keep in mind that three rookies developing into star players is pretty damn good, most teams are lucky to have one) I can easily see Jacobs and Hermida both finishing in the top 3 in ROTY voting (no way both of them finish ahead of Matt Cain )...I see Ramirez developing a little later
November 30, 200520 yr I don't know. Some of them are girls. Like Miggy's wife just birthed a daughter. Maybe there will be another revolution in baseball and women will play.
November 30, 200520 yr Josh Willingham is as much of a rookie as Jason Vargas. It doesn't matter as he isn't going to be a starter anyway.
November 30, 200520 yr I think one or two of the baby Marlins will be very impressive. I'm thinking Hermida and Jacobs. One of the pitchers will have an impact year - Petit or Olsen (if he has the strength to pitch more than 140 innings). I think we'll have about 4-5 rookies starting (Jacobs, Hermida, Willy, and one or two starting pitchers), but we'll still have 3-4 prospects in the top 100 at the end of the year. I am not sure Hanley Ramirez is ready yet... we should take a wait and see approach. We know Jacobs, Hermida, and Willy can handle it. Olsen and Petit might be able to handle it... maybe one of those two will become the next Dontrelle.
