I'm gonna get a Big post out-of-the-way so I won't have to say it later in the season, this will basically just lay out some information about scouting, the trade block, and some minor-league prospects.

Scouting:
I will be focusing most of my attention on infielders and pitching. Usually I just give my scouts one assignment because scouting for me is not usually the most important thing. And of course as the Marlins, I have a fairly high pick in the 2013 first player draft. So hopefully I will be able to use that to my advantage. Infielders are usually like to have some speed on them but this time I sent one of my scouts to find a Power hitting infielder, with some speed on them. Kind a like a Hanley Ramirez, may be a Robinson Cano.

Trade Block/Trading
With the Miami Marlins, I will focus my attention this season I'm trying to acquire some young players. The positions I feel that we need to improve on and get some depth would be pitching, third-base, and left field. When I say pitching, I'm talking about relief pitching. Looking over the first month of action, our relief pitching really stunk outside of our closing pitcher. So to improve there with some young arms would be a plus for me. At third-base and leftfield we have a couple of aging guys, I'm see that Juan Pierre is losing some of his rating due to his age, so this will more than likely be his last year with Miami. Maybe acquiring some prospects in these positions would help us improve in the coming years.

Prospects:
I am very excited for the future of Miami Marlins Baseball! I feel we have some young prospects in place that with time would give us the opportunity to be contenders in the NL East. Of course Ken Guthrie one of our top 50 prospects, is one of those players. This first month of action he managed to hit a 361 average with four homers in 20 RBIs. Some other noticeable prospects include second baseman Juan De La Rosa, third baseman Brian Carpenter and infielder Nick Green. Pitching wise it is still too early to tell what kind of prospects we have yet, for our top 50 Prospect Luis Cuevas he had a struggling April. I hope that ERA gets down.

That will wrap it up for another addition of Miami Marlins dynasty. The next post should be My May review, unless any sort of big acquisition happens for Miami.
