The Miami Marlins have made some fine first-round picks over the years. The problem is that none of these players are still in the organization, now playing elsewhere.
Some might recall that Miami was the team to draft Christian Yelich 23rd overall during the 2010 MLB Draft. Another name that comes to mind is when they drafted Josh Naylor 12th overall in 2015.
Now, most of these trades backfired, but at least the front office knows a quality first-rounder when they see one. They will be selecting 14th overall later this summer, and there are sure to be loads of talent still on the board.
