I feel like Snelling will get the #5 spot in the rotation on OD. Sandy, Eury, Garrett, Paddack, and Snelling with Max going as the swing man. And there is nothing wrong with that.

Another thing that is clear to me is that Pauley is winning the 3rd base job, and it's not even close. There is something Norby needs to fix, and a stint in AAA would only benefit him.

Has anyone seen how it's been with Morel at 1B lately? I only saw the nice play in the first (or second) game, but nothing after that... Can anyone give an honest, impartial review?

It is wonderful to have true depth competitions and the infrastructure for conveyor belt talent to the Marlins.
