Marlins Bring Back Five

Via MarlinsBaseball.com  |  February 11, 2012
Logan Morrison will switch to number five in 2012, a number never worn by a Marlin.   This number is significant to Morrison because it is the number worn by his father’s favorite player — George Brett.   The Marlins since starting play in 1993 have had the number retired to honor the first President in franchise history, Carl Barger. Tragically, Mr. Barger passed away before...

This is the third post in a series looking at the newly fascinating National League East Division.

MLB Opinion: Yoenis Cespedes Can Be an Impact Player in the Bigs

Via MyTeamRivals.com  |  February 12, 2012
The latest rumor in the Yoenis Cespedes sweepstakes has the Miami Marlins offering less than $40 million for the Cuban defector.
