Good to see you have Jose Fernandez on the roster. Read his story sometime. It took him 3 tries to escape Fidel. When he finally got to Tampa he immediately insisted on taking 3 English courses each semester in HS.

In an otherwise season of misery (though they are looking better), he is a joy to watch for Marlins fans. For a 20 year old, his command is amazing.

Normally I don't pick rookies--too small of a sample size (thus Puig only gets an honorable mention from me). But I had to pick someone from the Marlins, and he's having the best year. (Stanton would typically be the obvious choice, but he's missed a lot of time this year, and his numbers are only so-so for his standards.)

I saw this Fernandez pitch against the Cardinals, and he's the real deal.

Did you see "Giancarlo" Stanton blow the game today by lobbing the ball to Morrison in the bottom the ninth.?

Ball skipped under Morrisons glove allowing Jon Jay to score the winning run when he should have had to stop at third.

Stantons throw was only slightly better than the muzzie fags first pitch at a White Sox game a few years back.
