30 teams in 30 days of quarantine: Miami Marlins fantasy preview

Most of you, like me, have played DFS for quite some time. We have never seen anything like this before. A bare lobby. No upcoming contests. FanDuel even resorted to doing a DFS-style contest for the Democratic debate!

Most of you, also like me, still play season-long fantasy baseball. Some for money. Some not. Some just because it’s the only interaction you have with some friends anymore. Whatever the case, we can use this break in DFS to get us polished up for our fantasy baseball drafts, whenever those may be. Where started at the bottom with Detroit. Next was the Orioles. The 28th-ranked team in wins last year was the Miami Marlins.

The Miami Marlins won just 57 games last year, which was worst in the National League. Only two players hit 20 or more home runs. One one had double-digit steals.

The Marlins were thrown into a rebuild with the shocking loss of Jose Fernandez and the departure of Giancarlo Stanton for the Evil Empire within the last couple of years. It looks like the worst is over. The Marlins are a very young team, so that means they have some interesting fantasy players that you can snipe towards the end of your draft.

There are quite a few fantasy-worthy players on this team. The key is not overpaying or trying to get them at a value. You can’t win your season in the middle rounds, but you can sure lose it there.

Here we will examine the Miami Marlins projected lineup and rotation, and who to draft and in what general spot. We will also take a look at prospects that could make their debuts and have a fantasy impact in 2020. The 2019 stats are in parentheses. Let’s get started!
