Orlando Marlins??

'An Orange County commissioner is calling for an exploratory committee to look into luring the Florida Marlins to Orlando. There has even been talk that a new baseball stadium would be a better idea than renovating the Citrus Bowl...

'"This is something we can explore," said Mildred Fernandez, an Orange County Commissioner....

'The county is already set to vote on the renovations, but Fernandez said it's not too late to think about a new stadium for the Marlins.

'"We should not lose the vision of having a baseball team," Fernandez added.

'Mayor Crotty has said that he doesn't have plans to form an exploratory committee to lure the Marlins here just yet because he is focused on the future of the arena and the downtown arts center.

'As for the Marlins, they said they had no comment on a move to Orlando.' (WFTV.com)
