6. Cliff Floyd

Notable Marlins Stats: .898 OPS ranks 4th / .294 AVG ranks 6th / 110 HR ranks 9th

Cliff Floyd began his big league career before he was old enough to buy a beer at a bar making his MLB debut at 20 years and 287 days old.

Floyd was apart of the club while they won their 1997 World Series, while only making one All-Star team, and that was as part of the Marlins in 2001 slashing .317 / .390 / .578 that year.

Floyd has 661 hits for the team which ranks him 13th. He also has the second fewest games played for the Marlins on this list with 637.

His oWAR is also at 16.8 which ranks at 8th for all-time Marlins players.

5. Luis Castillo

Notable Marlins Stats: 1,273 Hits ranks 1st / 21.4 oWAR ranks 4th / .293 AVG ranks 7th

Luis Castillo would probably be the best hitter the Marlins had, if not for his lack of HR production. For his career with the Marlins, he only had 20 HR.

Castillo is the all-time Marlins leader in games played with 1,128. He also had an OPS of .726.

A three-time All-Star for the Fish, he is considered the best second baseman in Marlins history. The only other 2nd baseman that comes close was ranked previously in Dan Uggla.

Castillo was also apart of the 2003 Championship team. Imagine being a pitcher having to leadoff against Juan Pierre, and right after your done with that, you had to face Luis Castillo.

His best statistical year was in 2000 when he slashed .334 / .418 / .388, while also leading the league in stolen bases with 62.
