"I expect us to make the playoffs," Loria said. "We've got all the ammunition we need." That optimism proved to be misplaced, as little went right in South Florida. In mid-May, Hanley Ramirez wound up in the doghouse for lollygagging after a booted popup—and initially refusing to apologize to his teammates. Twelve days later, Roy Halladay threw a perfect game against Florida. On June 23, with the team sitting at 34-36, Loria dumped manager Fredi Gonzalez and replaced him with Triple-A New Orleans skipper Edwin Rodriguez on an interim basis. The Marlins dallied with Bobby Valentine before negotiations fell apart, and Rodriguez kept the job after the team went 46-46 with him at the helm. Then came the injuries. Chris Coghlan, the 2009 NL rookie of the year, tore the meniscus in his left knee while jamming a shaving-cream pie in Wes Helms' face. Ricky Nolasco tore the meniscus in his right knee when he took off a shoe. All told, a club-record 57 players rotated through the clubhouse. The bad news continued after the season ended, with the Marlins getting rid of Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller in separate deals for three relievers. Once the centerpieces of the blockbuster trade that sent Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis to the Tigers in December 2007, Maybin and Miller failed to establish themselves in Florida. The franchise also continued its tradition of trading away cornerstone players as they get expensive, shipping Dan Uggla to the Braves in November for Omar Infante and Mike Dunn. There were some positives, however. Mike Stanton opened the year with 21 home runs in 192 at-bats in Double-A Jacksonville and smacked another 22 longballs after his promotion to the big leagues. Logan Morrison and Gaby Sanchez also claimed regular spots in the lineup. By season's end, the Marlins often were running out a lineup composed of mostly rookies, leading the majors by using 21 in total. Several more farmhands should add to the youth movement in 2011. The system's top prospect, Matt Dominguez should take over third base at some point. Scott Cousins, who hit .297 during a September callup, will get the first shot at center field in spring training. Lefties Dunn and Dan Jennings and righties Jhan Marinez, Jose Ceda and Steve Cishek all will factor into the bullpen mix. Overall, though, the farm system is down in the wake of Florida graduating so many prospects to the big leagues in the last couple of years while taking a conservative approach in recent drafts. Relievers are the strength of the system, which is rarely a good sign. Marinez, Ceda, Arquimedes Caminero, Sandy Rosario, Ramon Benjamin and Josh Hodges all can touch the upper 90s, with Caminero was clocked at 101 mph in low Class A last year. In the draft, the Marlins nabbed a couple of high-ceiling position players early in outfielder Christian Yelich (first round) and catcher J.T. Realmuto (third), then stocked up on college arms. They spent $4.4 million on signing bonuses in 2010, ranking 22nd among the 30 major league clubs, and their five-year total of $22.7 million is the fourth-lowest in the game. --
