The Miami Marlins won the baseball lottery Monday night.
There could not have been a better scenario than the one that played out for the Marlins front office, being able to draft Vanderbilt slugger J.J. Bleday and follow it up by grabbing Missouri outfield Kameron Misner. If the rest of MLB thought this organization was still sifting through the rubble of past draft errors, the front office in south Florida put those feelings to bed quickly.
In Bleday, Miami got the best power hitter in college baseball last season. Misner is an SEC veteran who has plenty of experience facing top pitching.
