The Florida and have had 630 players take the field through their first 28 seasons.
Our offseason-long series is touching base with each of them. We’ve already taken a look at 370 of them. With 260 left, we still have 102 more chapters to get to the top. Today’s group features five players in the 250 to 799 PA/BF bracket, and they all finished the Marlins portion of their careers below replacement level, according to Baseball Reference.
260. Chris Johnson
Fort Myers native Chris Johnson is a six-foot-three third baseman. In 2003, he was taken in the 37th round of the draft by the Boston Red Sox. Instead of signing, he instead attended Stetson College for three seasons of Division 1 ball. In 2006, he hit .376/.452/.584 with 11 homers and 66 RBI in 62 contests. In the draft following the collegiate season, the Houston Astros spent a fourth round choice on him.
