The Miami Marlins failed to score again and were shut out by the St. Louis Cardinals just a day removed from a strong performance versus the New York Yankees. Starting pitcher Jacob Turner put up a strong effort in the loss.

The Miami Marlins are slowly advancing in spring training and onto the 2013 season, and it begins with the team naming Ricky Nolasco the official Opening Day starter and making 11 cuts from the major league camp.

The Miami Marlins are looking to Placido Polanco to fill in their long-standing gap at third base, at least for the 2013 season. But Polanco's struggles offensively and with injuries likely mean Greg Dobbs will also play significant time.

The Miami Marlins had a bright spot in Ricky Nolasco's stellar second spring training start in an otherwise dismal loss to the New York Mets, 4-1.

The Miami Marlins have a few interesting position battles heading into 2013, so let us look into those conflicts for the last few spots at fifth starting pitcher and first base.

The Miami Marlins are entering the 2013 season with a second-year player manning second base. The diminutive Donovan Solano found his way atop the depth charts, but the Fish are not likely to be as happy with his play as they were last year.

The Miami Marlins got a decent performance out of Kevin Slowey and Donovan Solano, but ultimately failed against the St. Louis Cardinals 7-2.

The Miami Marlins are facing the possibility of not starting the regular season with first baseman Logan Morrison. The good news is that Joe Mahoney and Casey Kotchman have gotten off to terrific spring training starts and may step in at first base.

The Miami Marlins finally made the right move to shift Logan Morrison back to his original position of first base, but will it pay dividends for the team, or will Morrison struggle to even stay on the field?
