The Miami Marlins<\/a> have a lineup with the potential to do amazing things not just for the future, but also for the remainder of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are two hitters in the lineup carrying the offense, but other talented players must be more consistent to help the team make that leap.<\/p>\n

These two men have been the most consistent hitters for Miami in the first half. Marlins manager Clayton McCullough is making a smart move to put both of them at the top of the lineup to put pressure on the starting pitcher immediately.<\/p>\n

Hicks leads the team in home runs (11) and RBIs (44). He\u2019s going to need to stay this hot to keep the Marlins on a winning path.<\/p>\n

Edwards is not just proving that he can do it with his gloves, but with his bat and legs as well. Edwards is hitting .311 with a .867 OPS. He has six stolen bases this season. He has produced four hits in the last three games. He and Hicks form a deadly 1-2 punch at the top of the lineup.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Owen Caissie\"Miami<\/p>\n

He got off to a hot start, but now he\u2019s a hit-or-miss. However, Caissie<\/a> is very important to this lineup. If he can get things going to the level of Edwards and Hicks, then the Marlins will win more games frequently. <\/p>\n

An elite lineup needs at least five to six players who can get the job done on a nightly basis. It\u2019s still a long season, and there\u2019s still time for Caissie to become a .300-level hitter. He\u2019s also a reliable defensive outfielder.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joe Mack<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only his rookie season, but we see a lot of star quality in him. Mack<\/a> also brings and shows professionalism. The future of the catcher position is in his hands.<\/p>\n

Although he\u2019s hitting .222 this season, let\u2019s not overlook that in the last seven games, he\u2019s been locked in. Mack had collected five hits, four RBIs, while hitting .263 in 19 at-bats in those last seven games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Having the 23-year-old top prospect at the bottom of the lineup is a good strategy because he\u2019s still developing and needs to prove he can play at a big league level for a full season. Mack might someday get moved into the No. 4 or No. 5 spot in the lineup.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Edwards, Hicks, Caissie, Mack, and Lopez should be the top-producing hitters for the Marlins in the future. All of them are under 30, and that\u2019s one of the reasons we should be excited about what\u2019s to come from this lineup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
