Holes = C, 2B, LF, SP1, SP2
*Jimenez defensively will be raw/rough edges but IMO as he gets more and more reps will short and long term be far better behind the plate than JPA.
*Wong's an upgrade over Izturis and is blocked in St.Louis by Carpenter. With Beltran a FA and Taveras more than likely getting the promo in 2014. Bautista would slide into Beltran's vacancy, Taveras into CF if the ankle is healed and Jay to 4th OF.
*Marlins currently brutal behind the plate with Brantly and Skipworth and Realmuto not really offensive contributors in any way.
*As for SP1 & SP2....difficult to get a 1, a 2 would be nice
