Enjoy Episode 8 of Fishology!

Here are Dan Szymborski’s full 2023 ZiPS projections for the Marlins. What sticks out?

  1. Sandy Alcantara’s regression (ERA projected to spike by more than a full run)
  2. Recently traded Pablo López would have been the Marlins’ clear No. 2 starter
  3. Rule 5 draft pick Nic Enright can be legitimately good right away
  4. Don’t sleep on non-roster invitee C.J. Hinojosa
  5. Luis Arraez’s second-closest near-age offensive comp is Hall of Famer Wade Boggs
