James Buckelew: Marlin on the Rise

For the 2016-17 offseason, we counted down the Top 100 all-time Marlins. This offseason, we will instead cast our eyes ahead. I’ll be outlining the Top 100 Marlins prospects, as chosen by you on the ranker.com listing.

Coming in at number 91 in the offseason-long countdown is pitcher James Buckelew. Born on August 4th, 1991, the 6’2”, 155 lb. left-hander from Suwanee, Georgia was chosen in the 45th round of the 2010 amateur draft, by the Minnesota Twins.

Buckelew is a minor league arm that can be used to eat innings out of a bullpen throughout the season.
