Derek Dietrich is the clear favorite to replace Martin Prado

It is never ideal when one of your best players gets injured two weeks prior to the start of the season. Martin Prado is entering his 12th season in the MLB; his third with the Miami Marlins. He will begin the year on the disabled list due to a Grade 1 strain of his right hamstring.

This is the type of injury that requires rest to heal, but could easily linger throughout the entire season. Due to this, the Marlins will need to be prepared to replace his production not only in April, but from here on out.
