June 1, 200917 yr Well, if we're talking about their whole careers and body of work and not just what they accomplished w/ the Marlins, here would be my 25 man roster. I've outlined my reasoning for those some might not be familiar with or don't seem obvious. C- Pudge 1B- Conine 2B- Castillo SS- Hanley 3B- Lowell RF- The Hawk CF- Devo (Just feel he was the best all-around CF we've had, a true 5-tool player) LF- Alou SP- Beckett SP- Dempster SP- Willis SP- Johnson SP- Burkett (22 game winner in 93, 2-time AS) CP- Nenn BN- Benito Santiago (19 yr career, 5 time AS, 3 time GG, ROY) BN- Pierre BN- Bobby Bo BN- Sheffield BN- Russ Morman (one of the greatest Minor League hitters to never catch on in the ML's) BP- Hammond BP- Miguel Batista (1 yr in our BP, has turned in a decent career as a starter w/ the Jays) BP- Alejandro Pena (2 WS rings and 15 yr career don't lie) BP- Looper BP- Mantei BP- Harvey I'd love to put Rob Dibble in my BP, but he technically never played a game for us in '96 bc of injuries.
June 1, 200917 yr Wow. I'm scratching my head at some of these picks but I'll be nice. Anyway here are mine. Based more on each player's career not necessarily how they were with the Fish. C-Ivan Rodriguez 1B-Jeff Conine (tough call over DLee but I had to get Niner in there, the outfield is too stacked.) 2B- Luis Castillo SS-Hanley Ramirez 3B-Emilio Bonifacio...just kidding. Tough call again but I choose Miguel Cabrera over Mike Lowell OF-Gary Sheffield OF-Andre Dawson OF-Devon White (because we need a CF and I chose him over JP because he had a little better career OPS and I think he was a better CF, 3 time AllStar,6-time GG and because he is Jamaican) SP-Kevin Brown SP-Josh Beckett SP-Josh Johnson SP-Alex Fernandez SP-John Burkett RP-Robb Nen RP-Trevor Hoffman RP-Bryan Harvey RP-Ugueth Urbina RP-Armando Benitez RP-LOOGY-Arthur Rhodes ( I know most of these are SU or Closers but there's too many middle relievers too sort through and by definition most are interchangeable) It was hard to leave off Derek Lee, Moises Alou, Mike Piazza, Juan Pierre, Mike Lowell, Dontrelle Willis, Al Leiter, Livan Hernandez, Charlie Hough, Charles Johnson

You just beat me to it. Totally agree on Devo, the Hawk, Burkett and Benito Santiago (although I didn't list bench players)

In 2004 he started 100 games in RF. We had Conine in left at the point and didn't shift Cabrera until we re-acquired Encarnacion.
June 3, 200917 yr These players were either signed or drafted by the Marlins, all played in the minor leagues for Fish C-CJ 1b-Gonzalez 2b-Castillo ss-Renteria 3b-Cabrera OF-Kotsay Randy Winn and either Hammer or Gload SP-Beckett, JJ and Volstad

C- Mike Piazza 1B- Derrek Lee 2B- Luis Castillo SS- Hanley Ramirez 3B- Miguel Cabrera OF- Gary Sheffield OF- Juan Pierre OF- Moises Alou and they were all marlins at one time,to bad we cant get them all together that like, well lifes a bitch, we all know that. But I agree, thats my dream team too.

OF Darrell Whitmore, 1B Mike Jacobs, 2B Craig Counsell and SS Kurt Abbott. I couldn't disagree w/ you more on Counsell. I mean, he was only w/ us for parts of 3 seasons. His Marlins AB's basically comprised a Full Season, hitting .253. Not the best, but not horrible either. I would like to point out he hit .293 in the '97 post season. .99% Fielding % w/ the Fish means he played a pretty good 2B for us as well. Besides, you can't call the person who scored arguably the Franchise's most important run it's all-time worst 2B. He simply was a victim of someone much better waiting in the wings. Though he won the SB crown in '05, I'd put Quilvio Veras ahead of Counsell any day as the worst Marlins 2B.

Quilvio Veras was a OBP machine and good defender. In fact, in his 1-1/2 year stint with the Marlins he had a .383 OBP and .744 OPS compared to Luiy's .370 and .726 (our best 2B and leadoff hitter IMO - granted also a favorite player of mine).
