It’s great that we even get to have this conversation. At any point over the previous three years, a talent like Víctor Víctor Mesa would easily shoot to the No. 1 spot on the Marlins top prospects list. Boring!
But under new ownership, the farm system has been revitalized. With effective player development, smart drafting and a willingness to spend on free agents to plug the remaining holes, we might be looking at an eventual contender.
That being said, each of their prospects comes with some question marks. Will Mesa ever hit for power?
