30. A.J. Ramos

A.J. Ramos was a late round selection (21st) in 2009, and the Texan Pitcher was a Miami Marlin for the first five years and change of his career.

Ramos was never a starter, and he began his MLB career in middle relief, which included a 7-0 season in 2014 where he had a 2.11 ERA over 68 Games.  He did so well that year that the Marlins promoted him to be their closer, and he shut the door with 32 Saves in 2015 and 40 Saves in 2016.  Ramos was especially good that year, going to the All-Star Game and posting career-highs in Saves.  

The Marlins did what they always did during the 2017 Season and traded him when his contact would eventually become due.  Ramos would finish 175 Games for Miami and Save 92.

29. Cody Ross

Cody Ross had played briefly for Detroit, Los Angeles (NL), and was with Cincinnati for a pair of Games before his contract was sold to the Florida Marlins, where he would have an opportunity to play more.

Ross appeared in 157 Games from 2006 to 2007 but was elevated to a starting role in the Outfield and had back-to-back 20 Home Run Seasons in 2009 and 2009, with respectable Batting Averages of .260 and .270, respectively.

During the Marlins' cost-cutting, he was placed on waivers and was claimed by the San Francisco Giants.  The Giants went on to win the World Series that year, with Ross winning the NLCS MVP.  As a Marlin, Ross had 80 Home Runs with 503 Hits. 

28. Carl Pavano

Carl Pavano got more attention for being injury-plagued as a New York Yankee, but the team he played for before, the Florida Marlins, was where he was at his best.

Traded from the Montreal Expos during the 2002 Season, Pavano finished the year 3-2 with a 3.79 ERA, starting eight of his 22 Games.  Pavano was a permanent starter the following year, only going 12-13 with a 4.30 ERA and helping the Marlins win the World Series.  He won two Games in the playoffs, allowing only three Runs over 19.1 Innings.

Pavano followed that with his best season, going to his only All-Star Game and posting career-highs in Wins (18), ERA (3.00), Innings (222.1), and WHIP (1.174).  He was sixth in Cy Young voting that year, and as mentioned above, he signed with the Yankees as a Free Agent.

With the Marlins, Pavano had a record of 33-23 with 313 Strikeouts.

20. Miguel Rojas

Miguel Rojas first made it to the Majors with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2014, playing a year there before he was traded to the Marlins.

In Rojas' first three years with Miami was primarily spent off of the bench.  Playing most of his games at Shortstop, Rojas could easily be slotted into any other infield position, logging significant time at First, Second, and Third.  Rojas started playing more regularly by 2018 and though he is light-hitting, his defensive skills make him an asset to the Marline.  Miami held on to Rojas until 2023, where he was traded back to the Dodgers.

Overall, Rojas had 707 Hits with a ,268 Batting Average.
