Posted August 12, 200915 yr As some of you know Im a Highschool Senior, But I do have a Journalist Part-Time Job. Im doing a project on the Marlins All-Time Team. C- 1B- 2B- 3B- SS- RF- CF- LF- Pitchers- The Amount of time spent with the Fish Doesnt Matter, Just the Impact he made. I Know Hanley locks down SS, Maybe pudge or Charles Johnson for C. But i have only been a have since 1996 so a little help is needed.
August 12, 200915 yr Author Second base could probably be Castillo. Dans close though. Yeah with Dan being a 2-time Allstar its tough...but Castilla was huge in clutch situations.
August 12, 200915 yr Let me give it a crack. Catcher- Ivan Pudge Rodriguez First Base- Derek Lee 2nd base- Luis Castillo 3rd base- Mike Lowell SS- Hanley Ramirez LF- Miguel Cabrera CF-Juan Pierre RF- Gary Sheffield Five Starting Pitchers: 1-Josh Beckett 2-Kevin Brown 3-Livan Hernandez 4-Alex Fernandez 5-Al Lieter Bench: Jeff Conine Craig Counsell Bobby Bonilla Mike Piazza Darren Daulton Bullpen: Robb Nen Trevor Hoffman Ugueth Urbina Dennis Cook Jay Powell Braden Looper David Weathers Fast list, might be some updates later. hope this helps.
August 12, 200915 yr Author That looks about right. What do you think abotu Moises Alou. He was one of our key hitters in the postseason of 97. Hard to take out Sheffield though
August 12, 200915 yr Connine in LF, D Lee at 1st, Lowell at 3rd, You can say Pudge at Cather, Hanley hasn't really won anything with the fish but he is a great player you can also go with Renteria with what he did in 1997 season and playoffs and the world series heroics of Alex Gonzalez. Here's what I'd go with. C- Pudge/C.J. 1B- Lee 2B- Castillo 3B- Lowell SS- Hanley/Renteria/Gonzalez RF- Sheffield CF- Carr/White/Pierre LF- Conine Pitchers- Kevin Brown, Josh Beckett, Livan Hernandez, Brian Harvery, Jay Powell Rob Nenn, and Ugeth Urbina(Theres so many more that others will name but these are players of the top of my head.
August 12, 200915 yr Well at one point he could have gone on the list. but since time has passed by, other guys have become key or bigger pieces, he has become expendable, in the year 2002 and before, he would have been included, am going with defense, and hitting here, Cabrera secures his spot.

What do you think about the D-Train? He was solid aswell you should throw him in there and how he got robbed of a Cy Young in I believe it was in 2005. Same with Kevin Brown in 1996.
August 12, 200915 yr LIST OF MARLINS GREATS FOR YOUR REFERENCE. Charlie Hough (fan Fav, recorded first marlins win against Dodgers.) Kevin Brown Al Lieter Josh Beckett A.J Burnett Brad Penny Miguel Cabrera Gary Sheffield Bobby Bonilla Craig Counsell Moises Alou Chuck Carr Devon White Charles Johnson Ivan Rodriguez Mike Piazza (Short stint, traded for Preston Wilson and Aj Burnett) Ugueth Urbina Robb Nen Trevor Hoffman Adrian Gonzalez Johan Santana (traded to Twins for loogy after draft.) Luis Castillo Mike Lowell Derek Lee Todd Dunwoody( LOL JUST KIDDING!!!!) Mark Kotsay Jay Powell Dennis Cook am sure their is more, let me think further jot these down.
August 12, 200915 yr Author my list has the perfect 25 man roster for you. I forgot about Edgar and Im torn between him and HanRam. Without question, Hanley is the better overall player. But the goals Renteria acclomplished here are unmatchable.
August 12, 200915 yr C- Paul Bako / Mike Rabelo 1B- Hee-seop Choi 2B- Homer Bush 3B- Emilio Bonifacio SS- Robert Andino RF- Joe Borchard CF- Eric Reed LF- Reggie Abercrombie Pitchers- Yorkis Perez, Jorge Julio, Tim Spooneybarger, Eulogio De La Cruz

But the goals Renteria acclomplished here are unmatchable. One thing about Edgar, he was one hell of a defensive force, and a great contact hitter too, but you can't forget Hanley. He is the better player hands down.

But the goals Renteria acclomplished here are unmatchable. They are if Hanley gets us a world series and an MVP award but I agree with you that Edgar's accomplishments as a Marlin are great. Maybe you write about both?

Maybe you write about both? I Wish I could. The group Im in got assigned a team, and luckily I got to pick my Marlins. We have to decide on 1 player for each position, 5SP and 5RP then briefly give a summary after each player.

August 12, 200915 yr What happened to Mike Piazza for catcher? Piazza did nothing for this team in the week or so he was here. Personally I would go with CJ over Pudge. CJ won 3 GGs here (I believe the first to do so as a Marlin),was an AS, helped us win the Series in '97 by setting MLB records for consecutive games without an error or passed ball, and was a local boy (Ft Pierce) that was the team's first ever draft pick (out of The U). Pretty impressive Marlins bio. Although he helped us win a WS in '03, Pudge signed a 1 year contract with us and made it known it was because he wanted to show he could stay healthy for an entire season (he hadn't been able to do that in previous recent years) and that he could contribute to a team. It was well known if the opportunity presented itself he would go for the $$$ after that season. It did, and he did. And I would question whether Cabrera should being included in the OF. I know he was a fav of most, but... However, seeing 3B should go to Lowell, I guess Miggy should be included someplace.
