Where Marlins starting and roster battles stand with two weeks to go in spring training
With the Marlins off Monday, a look at where starting and roster battles stand with two weeks remaining in spring training:
\u25aa Starting outfield jobs: Lewis Brinson’s strong spring (.423, five homers, five RBI) has cemented his starting job.
For one of the other two starting spots, the Marlins could go with a platoon of Curtis Granderson and perhaps Austin Dean.
Dean hit .221 in 113 at-bats for the Marlins after his August call-up last season and is batting .273 with three RBI in 23 at-bats this spring. The left-handed hitting Granderson, a non-roster invitee, is only 1 for 11 this spring, but the Marlins believe he’s still a capable hitter against right-handers.
