Not much has happened with the Marlins since they signed Mark Buehrle and Jose Reyes, and lost out on C.J. Wilson and Albert Pujols at the Winter Meetings. Since then the Marlins signed veterans Aaron Rowand and Nick Green to Minor League deals and has let Clay Hensley become a free agent. However, the Marlins have continued to make a lot of noise in the rumor mill. Report have come out that the Marlins are looking at giving Mike Stanton a contract extention, they are trying to resign Greg Dobbs (a move I love), and they have talked to pitchers Javier Vazquez and Joe Saunders, trying to solidify that 5th spot in the rotation. The Marlins have reportedly been the most aggressive team when it come to trying to aquire Cuban defecter and center fielder Yoenis Cespedes, Cespedes is expected to get a contrct worth between $30-$60 million once he is approved to become a free agent by MLB.
For right now here is a projected lineup for the Marlins in 2012 (based on players under contract)...

These past 365 days have been characterized by revolutions. From the successful revolts abroad to the domestic ‘Occupy’ movement, 2011 was truly a year for social change.

I found it very interesting how creative both sides were in constructing the contracts for Jose Reyes and the Marlins, and Albert Pujols and the Angels..
Both players got huge deals, but each one took less money up front to help their teams in the next two years. ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick reported that Pujols’ 10-year contract was back loaded so that the Halos could afford...
