One of the teams in the same division as my Atlanta Braves are the Miami Marlins. They have never been the best team in the division, but this year they finished 3rd in the division with a record of 71 wins and 91 loses. That sound like a good record with 71 wins but in baseball a good record has at least 85 wins or more. This year the Cardinals had 100 wins. That was the most wins out of any MLB team last year. When I think of the Marlins, the first thing that comes to my mind is 2012. In 2012 the team changed it's name from the Florida Marlins to the Miami Marlins. One of the most known player that the Marlins have is Giancarlo Stanton. He is their right fielder. he had one of his best seasons in 2012 and has continued to preform at a high level since then. However he has had a lot of injuries in those seasons. On June 26th he was hit by a baseball on his left hand. the injury required surgery and he was out for the rest of the 2015 season. In the 2015 season he hit his 155th home run to hold the record for most home runs out of anyone who plays or played for the Marlins. Even though the Marlins are not the best team now, they have won two World Series. Both of their postseason appearances began with a wildcard game. I do believe that since the Marlin's manager is now Don Mattingly they have a very good chance to win another World Series in the near future.
