Marlins to be focus Showtime series

Found February 13, 2012 on Fox Sports Florida:
PLAYERS: Ozzie Guillen,  Jose Reyes,  Mark Buehrle,  Heath Bell
TEAMS: Miami Marlins,  Chicago White Sox,  San Francisco Giants

MIAMI (AP) -- With their profile on the rise, the Miami Marlins are getting a TV show. This season the Marlins will be the focus of Showtime's documentary series, "The Franchise." That means unprecedented exposure for a team that has finished last in the NL in attendance each of the past seven seasons. Showtime and Major League Baseball Productions announced the decision Monday and said the Marlins were an appealing choice as a team in transition. They hired Ozzie Guillen as manager and spent 191 million to sign All-Stars Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle and Heath Bell, and they anticipate sellout crowds nightly this year as they move into a new ballpark. "The Franchise" made its debut last season by focusing on the San Francisco Giants.

Yoenis Cespedes Not A Marlin

Via 213 Miles From Shea  |  February 14, 2012
Personally, I am more surprised that Cespedes is not a Marlin, rather than him being an Athletic. Going into this offseason, even before the Marlins showed how they were going to spend money, it just felt that Cespedes would be a good fit for the Marlins. He is a young, talented OF who would join Stanton and play in a market that would go crazy for Yoenis. He would create new sources...
