Blah, blah, blah. Do you even read this? No you don’t, you never read this. You skip over these words and immediately look at the names below. Maybe you read the blurbs, maybe you look at the stats. I don’t know what you do but I ask. Wash your hands and cover your month when you sneeze. I mean what are you a savage?
Marlins Prospects Likely To Debut in 2021
The Miami Marlins are next on our Players Likely to Debut series. We covered the AL East last week and the Marlins kick off our focus on the NL East.
AL East: Red Sox — Yankees — Orioles — Blue Jays — Rays
Below, you will find a list of three prospects from the respective organization. Each prospect will have a number score next to their name — this number will represent the estimated amount of time we anticipate that player seeing at the big-league level. Players that have already made their big-league debut will not be included on this list.
BREAKDOWN OF TIME ON ROSTER SCORES:
1 — September call-ups / guys that are likely to see less than 20-25 games on the roster
2 — 1/4 of the season (roughly 40 games on roster)
3 — 1/2 of the season (roughly 80 games on roster)
4 — 3/4 of the season (roughly 120 games on roster)
5 — Full season on the MLB roster

RHP-Edward Cabrera (3)
Cabrera is another young arm in a very deep Marlins system. He tore up the Marlins’ 2019 system with 116K in 96.2 IP between High-A and Double-A. He was in the Marlins summer camp in 2020 but was shutdown due to a back injury. He has flashed a plus fastball and a slider. If he continues to work on his changeup as a plus pitch, he has the ceiling to be a number two starter. A lot of the writers on the staff are fans of this electric arm.
OF-Jerar Encarnación (1)
Encarnación has a massive presence in the outfield. Standing at 6-5, 239lb, Encarnación has raw power and a swing that covers a lot of the plate that generates hard contact. Like Cabrera, he moved quickly through the minors in 2019 and earned a spot on the 40-man roster this winter. He posses an arm in the outfield, getting 19 assists between two levels in 2019. A fast start in Double-A could earn him a September call up.
OF-JJ Bleday (2)
The 2019 4th pick overall was in alternate camp in 2020. He handled his first assignment in High-A well, putting up a wRC+ of 107. With the combination of a quick bat, raw power, speed, and the ability to hit the ball to all fields, the lefty bad should be making an appearance by the end of the summer.
Notable
Infielder Jose Devers, who came over in the Stanton deal, is a name to look out for as he should be starting the season in Double-A. Griffin Conine, son of former Marlin, Jeff Conine, who came over in a trade from Toronto in August, is another outfield who makes hard contact and could also see him make a rise through the system in 2021.
