Marlins 2010 Record 83-79 (3rd in NL East)

The Marlins did not make any "splashy" off-season moves as all of their signings were to minor-league contracts. After losing Nick Johnson, Matt Lindstrom, Jeremy Hermida, Ross Gload, and Kiko Calero, expect a slight decline in 2010 but there should be enough firepower in the offense to help out the pitching staff to make the Marlins a .500+ team.

Justin Upton Agrees to a Contract Extension with the Diamondbacks

Justin Upton has signed a 6 year extension worth approximately $51 million today which would keep him in Arizona until 2015. At only 22 years old, Upton broke out for a monster season in 2009 in which he clubbed 26 HR's, drove in 86 runs, batted .300, and stole 20 bases. He is clearly a player on the rise and it would be fair to say that he's now the best Upton in the family.
