The ex factor: the landscape of this season could be shaped by the play of 15-15!--former Marlins who have been sprinkled about the majors.(MLB)
The 2005 Marlins were demolished as swiftly as a cookie-cutter stadium being replaced by a new ballpark. Which is interesting because if the franchise had had a stadium deal in place, the plunger wouldn't have been pushed.
When the final pillar had crumbled, 15 players from last season's club had been traded or left as free agents. And when it came to the salvage crews that hauled in the best Marlins, there was a definite East Coast bias.
The first ex-Marlins drama will unfold April 11, when Boston's Josh Beckett and Toronto's A.J. Burnett likely will square off in the Red Sox's home opener, a game in which Burnett could face Mike Lowell and Alex Gonzalez, who last season held down the left side of Florida's infield.
Who will fill all the vacancies in Florida? Aside from Miguel Cabrera and ace lefthander Dontrelle Willis, it's a blurry picture. For now, let's assume that most of the jobs will go to products of the farm system and kids acquired in all the offseason trades.

'05 Jeff Conine. He will play left field or first base for the Orioles and share time with Kevin Millar. Conine hit .304 in part-time duty last year.
'06 Chris Aguila. A backup last year, Aguila now is the senior outfielder on the roster.
