The Miami Marlins have done a tremendous job rebuilding their farm system. They just need to stay patient.
Just last year, the Miami Marlins farm system was in shambles. Considering the team was decidedly in the basement of the National League East, and not likely to move from that spot for years to come, the future in Miami looked bleak. The return for their All Star outfield, Giancarlo Stanton, Marcell Ozuna, and Christian Yelich, was disappointing at best.
What a difference a year makes. With a completely revamped front office and a new analytics department, the Marlins have changed the perception of their minor leagues. The talent has improved dramatically, and while they may not have a top farm system just yet, one could argue for their inclusion in the top half of the league.
Over the past 12 months, the Marlins have made a number of shrewd trades and draft picks, restocking their minor leagues. Although some of their previously top ranked prospects have matriculated to the majors, the current grouping may well prove to make more of an impact on the Marlins’ future successes.
Let us take a look at the Miami Marlins top ten prospects for 2020, beginning with a player who headed many of these lists last year.
