Background - Florida Marlins
The first World Series team had a roster built from free agency. Third baseman Bobby Bonilla, outfielder Moises Alou, and pitcher Alex Fernandez were added to the roster of outfielder Gary Sheffield, pitcher Kevin Brown and catcher Charles Johnson. The experienced roster mixed with the young double play duo of Luis Castillo and Edgar Renteria.
The Marlins would come out of the NL East with the wild card spot and sweep the San Francisco Giants in the NLDS and retire the Braves in six games in NLCS. The World Series would make stars of Craig Counsell, who replaced Castillo due to offensive production, and pitcher Livian Hernandez, who replaced the injured Alex Fernandez.
The Marlins won the World Series, but also cost far more than ownership was able to take on. This started the fire sale that traded away most of the frontline talent responsible for bringing the World Series to Florida in just its seventh year in existence. The trade would bring in the talent that would win the next championship though.
First baseman Derrick Lee and pitcher A.J. Burnett, acquired from the 1998 dismantling, were the first of a nucleus that would take the Marlins back to the playoffs. The rest would include outfielder Juan Pierre, third baseman Mike Lowell, and pitchers Brad Penney, Julian Tavarez, Dontrelle Willis, and Josh Becket.
The young rotation would come back from an injury bug that devastated the Marlins early in the season. The Marlins came back from the 19-29 start to once again take the wild card spot in the National League. The Marlins would again defeat the Giants in the NLDS and would defeat the favored Cubs in the NLCS. The Marlins looked finished in the NLCS down 3-1, but great pitching and the Cubs curse brought the team back to the World Series.
The Marlins would play the heavily favored Yankees and rely on the strength of the pitching staff and the timely hitting of players like Alex Gonzales to take the series in six games.

2008 Season Preview
|
 The 2008 team is apparently in the final year of the customary dismantling of great teams by the Marlins. Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera, the last remaining players from the 2003 World Series roster were traded in the offseason.
The starting pitchers are unknowns. The only pitcher with more than 20 starts last season is Scott Olson, although his record of 10-15 do not make him the ace of the staff. Anibal Sanchez, Ricky Nolasco, Ricky Vandenhurk, and Andrew Miller make up the remainder of the rotation. If the starters have any trouble the manager will not have any problem calling the bullpen. Closer Kevin Gregg and middle relievers Lee Gardner, Matt Lindstrom, and Sergio Mitre performed great last season and will be needed to repeat the performance this season.
The power hitters in the batting lineup come from up the middle. Second baseman Dan Uggla and shortstop Hanley Ramirez were the best home run hitters last year with 31and 29. Those two might see help from Josh Willingham and Jeremy Hermida in the outfield.
Pro Player Stadium should see some wonderful baseball this season and, if history has any say in it, the 81 scheduled home games will the see the blossoming of the next Marlin stars. See for yourself with tickets from Online Seats.
