That the Miami Marlins are one of the three youngest franchises in the majors is bad enough. Then throw in the fact that the Fish have pretty much led the league in roster turnover since 1997. It’s easy to see how most franchise milestones haven’t exactly been hard to eclipse these past twenty-five seasons.
Eclipse, get it? Gotta milk the one non-political trendy story out there.
Anyway, back to the franchise history of catchable records. Ricky Nolasco is your Marlins all-time leader in wins. That says a lot. Christian Yelich already sitting in tenth place for doubles might make sense, but the fact that he recently passed Cody Ross says way more about player tenures in Miami than it does about the Toy Cannon being undervalued.
