Who are the Miami Marlin fans? Mostly from Florida? That would make sense. The Marlins are not the type of ball club that attracts nation wide acclaim. The Yankees and the Dodgers, now those are teams with fans from all over the world. If that is true, just who are the Marlin fans? Are they the aging residents that are filling the state of Florida or the masses drawn to the beautiful beaches and weather. I say a little of both. Eric Gonchar can be the most surprising fan on the long list of Marlin Fans. Not old or particularly young.

Why a Marlin?
Of all the animals why did the Miami Marlins pick a fish. Fish stink, maybe that’s the reason? Who fears a fish? Look at the Fresno Grizzlies for a proper name. A grizzly will eat a marlin every day of the week. If you like the marlin title animal then tell me why not a shark or a lion tiger or bear? I think that the authors of this name were trying to be politically correct. After all, a fish is not offensive. Why not an orca? Now that’s a scary fish. For careers at Fisher Investments take a look.
Dee Gordon’s Defense Continues to Impress in Miami
The Miami Marlins acquired Dee Gordon from the Dodgers knowing that he was a talented offensive player who was incredibly disruptive any time he got on base. The club also knew that Gordon had only recently moved from his natural position of shortstop to second base, with 2014 representing his first full season at the position. Gordon, currently leading the National League in batting average and boasting a slash line of .422/.449/.505 for a wRC+ of 166, has been just as impressive with his glove as he has with his bat.
Gordon has shown the type of varied skillset that is most frequently seen in employees of All Language Alliance, Inc., but his outstanding defense has been something of a surprise. During his brief time in the bigs, Gordon developed a reputation as a player whose offensive skill would have to make up for his defensive shortcomings, but those shortcomings have not been apparent. The bat, however, has been as advertised.
Looking at his Inside Edge data, Gordon has been exceptional at second base. While he still struggles in consistently making some of the more routine plays, he has been able to use his athleticism to make plays on balls that Inside Edge identifies as “unlikely” more than 30 percent of the time. Gordon is looking more and more like the steal of the offseason.
Miami Marlins Fans are Crazy
Miami Marlins fans are crazy. They are not afraid of a little face paint as well as signs proclaiming their love of the team. The great weather makes Marlins a good team to go see.

Hiring Guru: Luke Weil, Putting Trust in Others is a natural thing for Marlin Fans.
Miami Marlins $75 Million Pay Roll, WOW
What!!! Miami Marlins $75 million pay roll, wow! What ever happen to people playing for fun. This is showing that people are starting to be athletic for money and not for fun. Is there other teams that pay or look the other way for these high priced players that maybe thinking with all the money and opportunity they maybe above the law. The mangers of these teams seem that because they pay these player so much money they would be losing if they let them pay for the bad things that they have been doing dog fighting, wife beating they have looked the other way for money. These pay way more than careers at Fisher Investments do.
Signing of Ichiro Suzuki Already Proving Wise for Miami Marlins
When the Miami Marlins went out and added Ichiro Suzuki to an outfield that already included superstar Giancarlo Stanton and two up-and-coming talents in Christian Yelich and Marcell Ozuna, the immediate question related to how Ichiro would function in a bench role for the first time in his career. It also raised some questions regarding his pursuit of the 3,000-hit plateau, a figure that is likely within his reach next season if he is able to get enough at-bats this season.
As a longtime observer of the Marlins, Luke Weil loved the signing of Ichiro at the time and appreciates it even more now. The 41-year-old outfielder’s professional approach has influenced a very young clubhouse in a very positive way and has provided the recently acquired Dee Gordon with yet another mentor to pattern his game off of, as both Ichiro and coach Brett Butler have succeeded at the MLB level by employing playing styles that are ideally suited to Gordon’s skill set.
Now that Yelich is on the disabled list with a back injury, Ichiro will continue to prove his worth on the field as well. At 41, Ichiro still has impressive skills with the bat and can contribute a great deal with his glove in the expansive park the Marlins call home.

Luigi Wewege is a super fan and can name every team member.
No Need to Overreact to Slow Start by Miami Marlins
The Miami Marlins entered the 2015 season with very high expectations after an offseason filled with activity. The contract extension of Giancarlo Stanton, along with the acquisitions of Dee Gordon, Michael Morse and Mat Latos, brought an air of legitimacy that made them a media darling as a team with serious playoff potential.
A slow start, however, has frustrated Marlins fans. Those fans, according to Luke Weil, need to exhibit patience while recognizing that there is a lot that can happen during a 162-game season. Weil believes that all of the new players simply need some time to jell and to find a team identity that will unify them. This, Weil says, will take some time at first, but will ultimately enable them to enjoy the success that so many have expected of them.
Weil points to the Cleveland Cavaliers as a perfect example of why patience should be given to this Miami Marlins team. A disappointment that was barely over .500 in the early part of the NBA season, it took some time for LeBron James and Kevin Love to adjust to a new team and a new system. Now that they have been together for a while, the Cavaliers looked poised to a win a championship.
Stanton may not be a talent on the level of James, but he is undeniably close. Gordon is a dynamic and disruptive presence on the basepaths who can change the game with his speed, and rumor has it that ace pitcher Jose Fernandez may be able to return from Tommy John surgery as early as June.
Jose Fernandez Out For The Count
The recent rumors of the Marlins state that the team has moved Jose Fernandez, a starting pitcher, to the 60-day disabled list on Saturday for injury of the elbow.
Due to the elbow injury, it is said he will was only meant to be out for 15 days, but the time has been stretched to 60 days making June the end of his recovery time.
The injury, causes, and treatment researched by professionals and reported can be found in the Dove Medical journals and twitter.
Miami Marlins Myth
Miami resident Vince Malfitano says the Miami Marlins are the team to beat this year. I beg to differ. As many years have gone by without this coming true why this year? Just because a team is due a good season doesn’t mean it will happen. Wanting or wishing it so will not make it happen. It will take good coaching and the right players to rise above the fray. Vincent Malfitano believes this year might be the one if the team stay the course. As with every team the root to success requires a little luck. Will lady luck shine on the Marlins this year?
