PrintYou Fish Stripers have voted, and now the results are in for the Fish Stripes All-Time Florida Marlins Team first baseman. First, your votes:
Taking the fan voting by a solid 57 percent, the readers of Fish Stripes chose Derrek Lee as their All-Time Florida Marlins first baseman. Let's see how the rest of the Fish Stripes crew voted.
| Voter | 1st | 2nd | 3rd |
|---|---|---|---|
| Michael | Conine | Lee | Sanchez |
| FS Writers | Lee | Conine | 4-Way Tie |
| FS Readers | Lee | Conine | Sanchez |
Based on the voting, congratulations to Derrek Lee of the 1998-2003 Florida Marlins for being the Fish Stripes All-Time Florida Marlins First Baseman!
The final points, with first place earning five points, second place earning four, and third place earning three points, looked like this.
| Player | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lee | 10 | 4 | 0 | 14 |
| Conine | 5 | 8 | 0 | 13 |
| Sanchez | 0 | 0 | 6 | 6 |
Sanchez got the benefit of the doubt from both me and the readership, while the third place vote from the rest of the crew was split four ways, with each writer voting a different player! As for the top, both the Fish Stripes writers and readers chose Lee over Conine, particularly because Conine is eligible for corner outfield voting and could beat out the numerous other contenders at the position. I had a different team in mind, but I'm interested how the voting goes from here.
Congratulations again to Derrek Lee, and I'll be glad to imagine his long frame blasting homers for the All-Time Marlins!

Glad to see it's D-Lee
I love Conine, and hopefully he gets voted in as an outfielder, but when I think of the Florida Marlins era and first base, it’s Derrek Lee. Longevity (in a Marlins way) and production at the plate and on the field.
Also interesting to see....
How few votes Carlos Delgado got. I find it very hard to vote for a player who only played one year with the team, no matter how great the year was. I voted Pudge second in the catchers category and left Delgado off this ballot.
No surprise Pudge got it
Delgado was so good in 2005, but he was apparently bad on defense (no one would be surprised there) and he didn’t help win a championship in 2005 like Pudge did in 2003.
