Breakdown: Baseball Prospectus NL East Catchup

In case I didn’t mention before, Baseball Prospectus is one of my favorite baseball related websites. Baseball Prospectus brings the baseball fan in-depth columns, prospect interviews, transaction analysis, and player cards containing Baseball Prospectus’s Davenport Translations. This week BP focuses on the off season moves the Marlins made. Considering there was nothing ground breaking done in the offseason, Marlins fans probably didn’t miss much, but if you were too busy tanning at the beach this offseason, this is the article for you…

Signed 3B-R Aaron Boone to a one-year contract. [12/29]

Signed OF-R Chad Hermansen to a minor league contract with a spring training NRI. [1/5]

Signed RHP Felix Rodriguez to a minor league contract with a spring training NRI. [1/12]

Agreed to terms with C-R Miguel Olivo on a one-year contract, avoiding arbitration. [1/18]

Check out the rest of the article which breaks down the moves. According to BP, the Marlins really didn’t go into the offseason with a plan but explain a plan wasn’t needed, as the Fish have control over a majority of there players.
