| Miami only scored 12 runs less than the league average last year which was way | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| better than anyone could have possibly imagined looking at their roster coming | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| into the season. Pretty much everyone in the starting lineup held their own | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| against big league pitching - no one expected that. And a couple of youngsters | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| flashed some nice power, C Agustin Ramirez and OF Kyle Stowers. 2B Xavier | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Edwards has developed into one of the better second basemen in the league | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| and he's only 25. He's hitting .298 in roughly two seasons of at bats and has good | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| speed having stolen 27 bases last year. Twenty six year old SS Otto Lopez hit | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 15 homers and stole 15 bases and will hit for a higher average than he did last | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| year. He's a good player. Twenty six year old OF Heriberto Hernandez hit .266 with | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ten homers in a half season worth of at bats. He looks decent. OF Jakob Marsee, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| who is twenty five, had 5 homers, 14 stolen bases and a .292 average in only | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 209 at bats. Ramirez, Hernandez, Marsee were all rookies last year and all did well. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Miami traded talented starting pitcher Edward Cabrera to the Cubs during the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| off season for three youngsters, the best of which is stud OF prospect Owen | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Caissie. He will be a focal point of the lineup in 2026. They also have a good | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| looking minor league catcher in Joe Mack, a first round pick in '21 who may | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| bump Agustin Ramirez to another position during the season. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
