There are two ways to react to the All-MLB Team ballot from a Marlins’ perspective—Miami has been egregiously disrespected, getting only one of the nearly 100 player nominees despite a winning record and postseason berth; or it’s a remarkable testament to organizational depth and Don Mattingly’s maneuvers that the team accomplished what it did despite lacking individual starpower. I lean towards the latter.
Brian Anderson is a third base nominee along with Alec Bohm, Manny Machado, José Ramírez, Anthony Rendon, Justin Turner and Gio Urshela.
