If one wants my opinion, even if one doesn't, I think that the Marlins are a good team that has had bad owners. I just saw their Midwest League team play last night. Those kids are really good kids. No cussing, no bat or helmet throwing, no arguments with close calls. They won 11-1 so they should have been happy.
Back to the subject at hand. The Marlins are, like the Twins, the victims of over-expansion in Major League baseball. There are 2 or 4 too many teams and contraction is a real possiblilty. Just who and where the contraction takes place is for the Commissioners office to decide. I think that Selig wants to drop the Twins to get a bigger market for his Brewers. I'm not sure why he wants to drop the Marlins or Expos.
Contraction is an insult to the fans of baseball and we should all let Selig know it.
