What is it going to take to make the Miami Marlins a threat to the National League East? Better pitching? Better hitting? Better defense? How about all of the above, and then some. These Marlins won’t be an easy out as they have been the previous two seasons, but they will remain a bottom feeder at least one more year.
But expect the possibility of 75 wins this coming season. There is plenty of things to get excited about in South Florida. And for the front office and Don Mattingly, the road to mediocrity has gotten better.
