Here are my grades for the Marlins through 25 games:

Amezaga (B-) Has been hurt; only .233 average, but defense has been spectacular and has had some timely hits.

Baker (A) Has really flourished as the #1 catcher.

Bonifacio (B-) Started out great, but his average (.257) and on base % (.304) are too low

Cantu (A+) Where would the Fish be without Cantu? I don't want to know.

Gload (F) Needs to show improvement or he will be released or sent to Triple-A.

Helms (C) It's tough to come off the bench to pinch hit-but that's his job and a .258 average just isn't good enough.

Hermida (C-) Low average and less power than expected. Had one really good game and that's it.

Maybin (D) Good in the field, not so much at the plate. Needs to work on the .216 average and .284 on base %.

Paulino (A) Best backup catcher in baseball. Period.

Ramirez (C-) Numbers are way down and his character has come into question with his lack of hustle.

Ross (C) Fan favorite for the Fish-not coming up with the clutch hits that made him so popular.

Uggla (C-) A .212 average just isn't going to cut it. That being said, it's hard to imagine this lineup without him in it.

Badenhop (D-) 9.00 ERA-enough said.

Calero (A) 2.08 ERA-has been solid.

J. Johnson (A+) The ace of the staff and one of the best in baseball.

Lindstrom (C-) 5 saves, but an 8.00 ERA-kind of makes you miss Kevin Gregg.

Meyer (B) Hasn't been outstanding, hasn't been terrible.

A. Miller (D-) Triple-A may just be the place for him.

Nolasco (F) Last year's ace is 1-3 with a 7.03 ERA.

Nunez (B) 2-0 with a 3.18 ERA-has been solid.

Penn (C-) 1-0 record with a 6.35 ERA. Sometimes it looks like he can't get anyone out.

Pinto (A) 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA. Obviously the most improved player so far this year.

A. Sanchez (D) 1-3 with a 5.46 ERA; has struggled with consistency.

Taylor (C) Only 2 starts-first one was terrible, the other one was pretty good-he was a victim of a bullpen meltdown.

Volstad (A) 2-0 with a 2.67 ERA. He looks like he's ready to be the #2 starter.
