Marlins taking their time with pitcher Sixto Sanchez

The best thing the Miami Marlins can do for their top minor league prospect Sixto Sanchez is allow him to continue to do what he is doing. While he is still developing his craft at Double-A Jacksonville, the hope is the team won’t rush the soon-to-be 21-year-old through their minor league system, which could hurt their potential ace in the long run.

The Marlins have the luxury of moving slowly in this process, given the depth of starting pitching on the Major League level and young arms waiting patiently for their turn to step on the rubber.
