Who do you think will lead the marlins in stolen bases this season?

Judging by the updated opening day roster article, I dont see any stand outs as far as stolen bases go, Who do you think will lead the team?

Xavier Edwards and Jakob Marsee don't stand out to you?

63 SB in about 1.5 career seasons of MLB action for Edwards. Marsee stole 61 last season alone if you combine MLB and MiLB.

I would lean toward Marsee just because I trust him to have the most opportunities, given how often he walks.

People forget how fast Xavier Edwards is. If there's anyone who could be a league leader, it's probably him. 

I don't see Jakob Marsee as a contender for stolen base leaderboards. He's fast, and no doubt will collect stolen bases, but I don't think he has Dee Gordon or Jose Reyes instincts on the basepaths. I see him more as a 20/30 guy, maybe 30/30 if he develops power at the plate.

Esteury Ruiz does have those aformentioned instincts on the basepaths, but:
1. Will he get enough playtime?
2. Will he gets on base enough?
The answer may be no on one or both.

Over the course of the season, I think he spends a lot of time on the active roster. Just not expecting much of anything from his bat. Playing full 9-inning games will be very rare.
