Question for Marlins fans

PrintMy name is Matt Swartz, and I’m an author at Baseball Prospectus. I’m doing some research on the infield shift (where three infielders play on the right side of second base for a left-handed hitter), and the data is a bit hard to come by. Since I know what a great resource the SBNation blogs are, being a former writer at one myself, I thought that some of you could give me some help.
I am curious who has gotten shifted against on your team MOST of the time, AND who your team regularly has shifted against in your division over the last 18 years. To jog your memory I am listing the lefties and switch-hitters that your team has had in the last 18 years that have hit at least 20 home runs.
Thank you for your help.

The only two guys who the Marlins shift against that I can think of
Are Ryan Howard and Adam Dunn, but I couldn’t tell you how often or in what situations we do it.
Chris Coghlan is the 2009 NLRoY (that's a +1 for me!)
Josh Johnson for the 2010 NL Cy Young!
We shift on Howard relatively every AB
we did shift on Delgado (Mets)
we do on Dunn..
I feel like McCann gets a shift..
Our team, Jacobs go the shifty treatment (not sure why, he couldn’t hit) & Delgado did.. that’s all I can remember..
We shift against
Brian McCann, Adam Dunn, Ryan Howard, and Carlos Delgado. I recall some teams shifting against Jacobs, Delgado, and Sheffield.
