Miami Marlins Power Rankings - 2012
| Power Ranking | ||||
| WEEK | RECORD | RANK | COMMENT | |
| Week 8 | 22-19 | 11 | After seven innings of one-run ball on Sunday, Josh Johnson improved his FIP (fielding independent pitching) on the season to 2.92. He's beginning to look like the ace he was the past few years. -- Dave Gershman: Marlins Daily | |
| Week 7 | 18-16 | 12 | A duo of exciting finishes helped cap a series win over the Mets. Additionally, Giancarlo Stanton is starting to heat up, which is huge for the Marlins and their chances of contention this season. -- Dave Gershman: Marlins Daily | |
| Week 6 | 14-14 | 22 | Although Heath Bell continues to pitch terribly, the Marlins won all three games against the Padres in San Diego. -- Dave Gershman: Marlins Daily | |
| Week 5 | 8-13 | 23 | Josh Johnson struck out eight batters in five innings on Sunday, but he's still getting hit around some and hasn't yet pitched to his known effectiveness this year. -- Dave Gershman: Marlins Daily | |
| Week 4 | 7-8 | 15 | Hanley Ramirez is starting to look like the guy we called "one of the best shortstops in the game" a few years back. A couple of homers by Ramirez helped lead the Marlins to a three-game sweep of the Cubs last week. -- Dave Gershman: Marlins Daily | |
| Week 3 | 4-6 | 21 | Although they finished a weekend series winning two of three, the Marlins still find themselves giving up too many runs. A three-game series against the Cubs to start the week could very well have the Marlins continuing to roll. -- Dave Gershman: Marlins Daily | |
| Week 2 | 1-3 | 14 | A couple of lousy pitching performances were a prime reason for the Marlins' two losses against the Reds, but they're only four games into the season, so it isn't that big an issue. No one has gotten injured yet, so that itself is a big win. -- Dave Gershman: Marlins Daily | |
| Week 1 | 0-0 | 11 | The Marlins will begin the year with a healthy rotation and a much more dynamic top of the lineup. They're set to begin with Josh Johnson as their Opening Day starter and Hanley Ramirez and Giancarlo Stanton as their No. 3 and 4 hitters in the lineup. -- Dave Gershman: Marlins Daily | |
