February 24, 201016 yr I like to do this every year at the start of Spring Training, tracking former Marlins and where they are as camps open up across MLB. Obviously, if I missed any, feel free to speak up and I'll add them here. Here are the names and teams, according to Sports Weekly (NR means the player is a non-roster invitee; ML means he only played in the minors in the Marlins organization): Baltimore Orioles: SS Robert Andino, P Mark Hendrickson, Ross Wolf (NR) Boston Red Sox: 3B Mike Lowell, OF Jeremy Hermida, P Josh Beckett, P Gaby Hernandez (ML), P Joe Nelson (NR) Chicago White Sox: C Ramon Castro, OF Alenjandro De Aza, OF Juan Pierre Cleveland Indians: C Mike Redmond, P Jason Grilli (NR) Detroit Tigers: 1B Miguel Cabrera, P Nate Robertson, P Dontrelle Willis, C Mike Rabelo (NR) Kansas City Royals: OF Scott Podsednik (ML), P Adam Bostick (ML) (NR), P Matt Herges (NR) Los Angeles Angels: P Travis Chick (ML) (NR) Minnesota Twins: P Carl Pavano, OF Jacque Jones (NR) New York Yankees: 1B Nick Johnson, P Sergio Mitre, OF Randy Winn (ML) Oakland A's: IF Dallas McPherson (NR) Seattle Mariners: P Jason Vargas, IF Josh Wilson (NR) Tampa Bay Rays: IF Joe Dillon (NR) Texas Rangers: P Darren Oliver Toronto Blue Jays: SS Alex Gonzalez, P Kevin Gregg, P Willie Collazo (ML) (NR) Arizona Diamondbacks: IF Jeff Bailey (NR) (ML) Atlanta Braves: P Scott Proctor (NR) Chicago Cubs: 1B Derrek Lee, P Ryan Dempster, IF Kevin Millar (NR) Cincinnati Reds: P Arthur Rhodes Colorado Rockies: C Miguel Olivo, C Paul Lo Duca (NR), P Justin Speier (NR) Houston Astros: P Yorman Bazardo, P Jeff Fulchino, P Brian Moehler, P Matt Lindstrom Los Angeles Dodgers: P Ronald Belisiaro (ML), OF Alfredo Amezaga (NR), P Luis Ayala (NR), P Justin Miller (NR) Milwaukee Brewers: C Gregg Zaun, IF Craig Counsell, P Trevor Hoffman, Claudio Vargas (ML), C Matt Treanor (NR) New York Mets: 2B Luis Castillo, 1B Mike Jacobs (NR) Philadelphia Phillies: 1B Ross Gload, C Paul Hoover (NR) Pittsburgh Pirates: P Brendan Donnelly St. Louis Cardinals: P Brad Penny San Diego Padres: 1B Adrian Gonzalez (ML) San Francisco Giants: SS Edgar Renteria Washington Nationals: C Ivan Rodriguez, OF Josh Willingham, P Scott Olsen, P Aaron Thompson (ML), P Miguel Batista (NR), P Logan Kensing (NR)
February 24, 201016 yr Author When the hell did Posednik play for us?????? He was in our organization in '96 and '97.
February 24, 201016 yr We drafted Randy Winn (Yankees), but he never made it to the majors with us...
February 25, 201016 yr Looks like you can add Livan to Washington's list. Also Lindstrom to Houston, Zaun to Mil. Marlins minor leaguers on rosters or NRI Ronald Belisario-LAD, Jeff Bailey-AZ and Josh Wilson-Sea. One could probably make a whole list for former Marlins players that are now coaches and former Marlins managers and coaches around the Majors too!
February 26, 201016 yr New York Mets - Johan Santana San Diego Padres: 1B Adrian Gonzalez (ML) Even more .
February 27, 201016 yr New York Mets - Johan Santana Does not count. He was acquired in a pre-arranged deal to trade him elsewhere all within a day's worth of transactions. We wanted and got Camp, who was considered a better prospect. It's like saying Anfernee Hardaway is a former Golden State Warrior. Now maybe I could hear an argument for Camp's significance on the Twins' organization or Chris Webber on the Magic. But the same argument can not be made for the Marlins and Santana or Warriors and Hardaway.
