Coming into the year, Jose Fernandez was regarded as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball. To the amazement of many, the Marlins put him in the rotation to open the season following his domination of the South-Atlantic league last year (Single-A).
Many critics immediately claimed the Marlins would ruin his career by...
Marlins' Logan Morrison to begin rehab assignment
One thing Miami Marlins fans still have to look forward to is the return of Logan Morrison. Morrison's antics have made him a fan-favorite - for most. For others, he has been labeled immature. Either way, he should be returning from injury soon as he is slated to begin a rehab assignment today.
Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald says Morrison is set to start a rehab...

Marlins have tried 38 lineups so far
Miami Marlins first-year manager Mike Redmond isn't one to make out mock lineups while riding in a taxi, during dinner at a restaurant or in the middle of night.
''I try not to think about it all the time,'' Redmond said, flashing a wry grin. ''I've saved that fun for when I get to the ballpark.''

Nolasco Lacks Control in Loss
Ricky Nolasco had a rare off-night in terms of control walking two with the bases loaded in the Miami Marlins 6-2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. Known for his exceptional control, it was a strange sight to see the Marlins’ ace allow those two run scoring free passes during a five run second inning. The loss was the third in a row for Miami and the team continued...
Young Marlins eager to get back to work in Miami
MIAMI Nearly four hours before Tuesday nights first pitch and a full 90 minutes before batting practice, several Miami Marlins were on their home turf performing drills under a bright sun thanks to the open roof.
Clearly, a rough start to Miamis season and a just-completed 3-7 road trip hadnt diminished the players desire to improve.
Perhaps the Marlins were buoyed knowing 14...
