Posted September 11, 20168 yr One Marlins official said he’s not sure there’s a single future starting position player in their minor-league system. Read more here: http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-jackson/article101211237.html#storylink=cpy
September 11, 20168 yr Author Mike Hill said it I bet, he is the only one with a brain. Too bad he isn't allowed to just make the moves or we'd be perennial champs.
September 11, 20168 yr In terms of hitters he's correct. Brian Anderson is the guy with the best chance and he hasn't exactly lit the world on fire in the minors. We have a bit more depth at pitcher with guys like Brice, Peters, Poteet, etc..., but the team has been so bad drafting the last few years. I have no idea how the scouting department hasn't gotten a complete revamp at this point (and this isn't just a fan complaining for change for the sake of change, they've legitimately failed at their jobs).
September 11, 20168 yr Just went through the article and saw the Marlins quietly fired 7 of the minor league instructors. While that makes sense given the top to bottom minor league failure (I think only 1 of our minor league teams had a winning record), it'll be used as an excuse to deflect blame away from the front office and scouting department's inadequacies.
September 12, 20168 yr Read more here: http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-jackson/article101211237.html#storylink=cpy I could have told you that...although there are a few catchers that that merit keeping an eye on but outside of that there is nothing!

The FO had to do something optics-wise to respond to the deplorable states of farm teams...God Forbid they sign anyone of worth from a Latin country or break out of their drafting paradigm. BTW Mike Hill is everyone's bitch when it comes to making trades
