Looking back at the opening day roster
It's just a little odd to me to see how dramatic the roster has changed since opening day. So, in the interest of my boredom, here's a look:
Opening Day: ///// Current (August 24):
Batters:
C- John Baker, Ronny Paulino ///// C- Brett Hayes, Brad Davis
1B- Gaby Sanchez ///// 1B- Gaby Sanchez (and what a good year he's had)
2B- Dan Uggla ///// 2B- Dan Uggla (one that has more patience than ever before)
SS- Hanley Ramirez ///// SS- Hanley Ramirez (eh, it's been a rough year for Hanley)
3B- Jorge Cantu ///// 3B- Wes Helms, Hector Luna, Donnie Murphy (platoon)
LF- Chris Coghlan ///// LF- Logan Morrison
CF- Cameron Maybin ///// CF- Cameron Maybin, Emilio Bonifacio (I imagine this'll be platooned)
RF- Cody Ross ///// RF- Mike Stanton
Bench- Brian Barden, Emilio Bonifacio, ///// Bench- Chad Tracy, the various platoon members
Wes Helms, Mike Lamb
Rotation:
#1- Josh Johnson ///// #1- Josh Johnson
#2- Ricky Nolasco ///// #2- Ricky Nolasco
#3- Anibal Sanchez ///// #3- Anibal Sanchez
#4- Chris Volstad ///// #4- Chris Volstad (post-stint in AAA)
#5- Nate Robertson ///// #5- Alex Sanabia
Bullpen:
Jose Veras ///// Jose Veras (after AAA stint)
Leo Nunez ///// Leo Nunez
Clay Hensley ///// K-Lay Hensley (we may like him)
Dan Meyer ///// Andrew Miller (yeah, that same BGA)
Tim Wood ///// Brian Sanches (return from DL)
Renyel Pinto ///// Will Ohman (via trade for Hurk)
Burke Badenhop ///// Burke Badenhop (after AAA stint)
For those counting, there are only nine players (Uggla, Ramirez, A. Sanchez, G. Sanchez, Johnson, Nolasco, Nunez, Hensley, Helms) on the active roster that have not spent time on the DL, been sent down or called up to or from AAA or AA, been shipped off to other teams (bye Cody...), or been banned for a PED (Ronny...). And yet, the Marlins are 62-61. That is nothing short of incredible.

Sorry about formatting
That kind of didn’t work as intended….
Chris Coghlan is the 2009 NLRoY (that's a +1 for me!)
Josh Johnson for the 2010 NL Cy Young!
