The Florida Marlins 2007 season will start with the team with the league's lowest payroll trying to improve on their season from 2006. Despite the success of the team under manager Joe Girardi, he was fired and replaced with Fredi Gonzalez.
Marlins general manager Larry Beinfest said that the team's goal from the start of this season is to compete in the playoffs. [1]
The Marlins saw two common areas to address during the 2006 offseason; they needed a new closer because Joe Borowski signed with the Cleveland Indians as a free agent, and the Marlins saw the need for a new center fielder. They had platooned Eric Reed, Reggie Abercrombie, Chris Aguila, Cody Ross, and Alfredo Amézaga in the position in 2006, with backup shortstop Amézaga making most of the starts at that position later in the season. The Marlins have added some new relief pitchers since 2006, trading Chris Resop to the Los Angeles Angels for Kevin Gregg and shipping prospects Jason Vargas and Adam Bostick to the New York Mets for Henry Owens and Matt Lindstrom. Lindstrom has been a closer during his time in the minors and has a fastball that reached 100 mph on radar guns in winter league play during the 2006 offseason. [1] The Marlins saw much competition for their closer role, with Ricky Nolasco, Renyel Pinto, Mike Koplove, Gregg, Lindstrom, and Owens all candidates for the job. [1]
The Marlins signed center fielder Alex Sanchez to a minor league deal in the offseason, who will be competing for the Marlins' center field job with the Marlins' center fielders from 2006 with the exception of Aguila, who is a non-roster invitee in the Pittsburgh Pirates' training camp. Beinfest said that the Marlins tried to trade for a proven center fielder but were asked for too much in order to get one. [1]
