Miami Marlins Fish Flash 4/4

Morning Marlin Maniacs- Happy Opening Day! Well, you know, official MLB Opening Day.  Which comes after the day the first official MLB games were played, but before the day the Miami Marlins actually have their Opening Day.  Which will probably be a bit easier of a series than when the travel to Washington for the Nationals’ Opening Day on Friday.  Ahhhhh! Opening Day.

Yep, it’s that time of year folks.  This weekend featured lots of noteworthy Marlins news to serve up in on our first Fish Flash of the week (and last before there are regular season Marlin games to discuss in earnest), ranging from the all important final roster announcement to our first 15-day DL stint.  Let’s just hope we can get through this first series without having to add to that tally.  But now, let’s dive in.

Final Roster Is In 

MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro shares Sunday morning’s official announcement on the full list of the Final Four More Than 21 that will break camp as members of the MLB roster. Position players you’ve largely known since the start of Spring Training, but a couple of the final pitching choices might surprise.  Take a look…and maybe hold off on those Cody Edge jerseys for just a bit longer.

Mike Dunn Is Not On It- Career First  

Newsworthy enough that it merits spoiling part of the surprise is the one glaring omission from that above list.  Andre C. Fernandez of the Miami Herald breaks down a career first for the reliever who will likely hold the club’s all time record for games played by a pitcher before June 1st- a DL stint.

A.J. Ramos A Bit Shaky Thus Far  

Lastly, Joe Frisaro also found time this weekend to check in with A.J. Ramos on what has honestly been quite the lackluster spring performance.  The Marlins closer has been roughed up for a couple losses, and shares his thoughts on making the necessary adjustments in games that actually count.
