More Marlins Mentions
The Marlins Caravan goes all over the planet (including Jupiter) this year.
It seems, as they have always done at least since they were on shortwave years ago, the Armed Forces networks still won't show commercials - even the Super Bowl ones.
Michael Jong gives his preview of this year's position players and the pitchers
Jayson Stark gives the Marlins' offseason a 'B'.
If the Nats leave Viera, how long would the Fish train on the east coast?
Here's Joe Frisaro's season preview.
I guess the training of a Mermaid is different than a Manatee.

Vacation From Sun Life
The Marlins get to practice being home team at a retractable-roofed stadium this year.
Because the band U2 needs at least 4 days to prepare for their June 29 concert across the street from the northernmost WalMart in Miami-Dade County, the Fish will begin a West Coast road trip early and pretend to be the NL hosts of an interleague series against the Seattle Mariners in Safeco Field on June 24-26.
There was precedence for this last year, so the Marlins aren't being uniquely singled out.
Samson calls playing in Seattle "the best and only solution" (but if it's the 'best' solution, it couldn't have been the only one).
Google Maps says it'll take Billy the Marlin 2 days and 6 hours to go from Miami to Seattle by car (geez, it takes me 2 days to just get out of Florida).

Marlins Sign Randy Choate
Yes, you've heard right, the Marlins actually signed a reliever for longer than a year.
Choate appeared in over half of Tampa Bay's games last year. He gets out lefties, but has trouble with righties.
The problem may be, with the money spent on the bullpen, what's left to fix the rest of the team?
