True, there is the possibility of jumping the gun (Scott Kingery for example), but it would be nice to see the Marlins trying.
This does give me the opportunity to make one more point. I think they need to try to extend Alcantara should he demonstrate, as I expect, that he is again healthy. This guy could have hung out by the pool this summer, but instead he was at the park every day. Not five feet away from him were Perez and Cabrera. I think he is very important to maximize their development. You could be getting three for the price of one. It is so important to build around good people. The Marlins may be trying my patience, but even they cannot kill my game.
