Miami Marlins: 3 Predictions for Jonathan Villar

If Jonathan Villar is able to do the same things in a Miami Marlins uniform as he was last season in Baltimore, then the trade that brought the team’s centerfielder south to the National League might be one of the greatest trades in team history.

Villar was thought to be the team’s new third baseman but has since moved to centerfield. He has since shown an ability to get comfortable not only in his new surroundings but in a position he is not totally familiar with.

The Miami Marlins are counting on him to help revitalize a flatlined team batting average and to provide leadership on the field and in the clubhouse with players who are just getting their feet wet on the Major League scene.
