As the prospect of more prospects wears thin on some, others realize that the farm system is stronger than it has been in many years. From top to bottom, the Miami Marlins seven levels of minor leagues have quality pitching and solid hitting. From the rotation to the bullpen, from free agents to bonus babies, and from the Dominican Summer League up to the triple-A New Orleans Baby Cakes, there are many waiting in the wings for their shot at major league glory.
New Orleans is eight games above .500, despite their position in third place of a tough PCL American South Division.
