Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Miami Marlins.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.

Last year, the Marlins continued their losing ways as a small market team and sold off assets before they became high-priced.  Nevertheless, there was one new entrant based on the 2024 campaign, and of course, that player is no longer in Miami.

As always, we present our top five, which had no changes.

1. Giancarlo Stanton

2. Hanley Ramirez

3. Josh Johnson

4. Luis Castillo

5. Miguel Cabrera

You can find the entire list here.

Staring Pitcher Sandy Alcantara remains at #7.

Jazz Chisholm, who is now a New York Yankee, went up nine spots to #31.

Pitcher Tanner Scott enters at #39.

Luis Arraez, who was traded early in the year, went up two spots to #43.

Jesus Luzardo comes in at #49.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

1973 PRELIMINARY RESULTS:

Thank you to all who participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are still determining what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946.

We have completed the first 27 years thus far.

For “1973,” a Preliminary Vote with close to 100 players whose playing career ended by 1967. We are also following the structure in that players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool.

Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the preliminary list, and the top 25 vote-getters were named Semi-Finalists.

A week later, the voters will be asked to pick 15 names from the 25 Semi-Finalists, and next after, they will pick five from the remaining 15. We will continue this process weekly until we catch up to the current year.

Please note that a significant change occurred “years ago,” allowing voters to submit less than the allotted spots. 

30 Votes took place.

Jesus Luzardo began his pro career with the Oakland Athletics in 2019, and during the 2021 season, the Venezuelan southpaw was traded to the Marlins; going from one perpetually cash-strapped team to another.

The starter dis not have a good 2021 (4-5, 6.44 ERA), but showed significant improvement in 2022 (4-7, 3.32 ERA) and the season after started 32 Games going 10-10 with a 3.58 ERA and 208 Strikeouts.  In 2024, Luzardo battled with injuries, and it would turn out to be his Swanson for the Marlins, as the perpetually rebuilding club traded him to Philadelphia in the offseason.
