Marlins Journal

With Miguel Cabrera at third and 2006 NL ROY Hanley Ramirez at shortstop, the Marlins may boast one of the best infields in all of baseball, especially when you add in Dan Uggla and Mike Jacobs.  If the Marlins can get through their recent injury problems in the rotation, the Marlins should contend for a playoff spot in 2007.  Take a look at these PECOTA projections for the four infielders (weighted mean average):

Mike Jacobs .271/.340/.493  VORP 20.3

Dan Uggla  .269/.328/.445  VORP 23.0

Hanley Ramirez  .289/.350/.453  VORP  39.8

Miguel Cabrera  .318/.405/.568  VORP  68.8

Now that’s some solid production out of your infield.
