----------

 

All I can say is that Conor Jackson and Chris Shelton are both "the man"(who didn't know that already) and that Jeremy Hermida is healed and over his injury and he is going to be in the Marlins opening day 2006 lineup. From 06-09 (and hopefully until '15) Hermida and Cabrera are going to be the KINGS OF FLORIDA.
