The Future of Miami Sports

We all know it. Miami sports are TERRIBLE right now. Unless you are a masochist, you can't possibly like what you see from any of our professional (and semi-professional counting UM) sports teams. Every one of them has found a new way to lose and a new low for the franchise it seems. Honestly, I don't see much of an immediate future for any of them.

The Dolphins by far are the most hapless of the bunch. I honestly wouldn't keep more than 8-10 from this roster if I could help it. They are that bad, that old, and that disgruntled. This team needs several spot-on drafts to be able to compete for anything anytime soon.

The Marlins have young prospects and young talent at many positions, but nothing is proven. We just traded away our best two players and are coming off a dismal season in pitching. They have no long term future cause any players that demand a salary of over $35,000 get traded.

Panthers have some players but nothing special and it seems like they are stuck in mediocrity.

Canes have the hope of a new recruiting class and probably have the best shot of all these teams to do anything consistently, assuming of course that the new freshmen pan out and Robert Marve can play the position.

Finally, the Heat. I'd say they are the best team with a chance to win anything this year (slim to none better is than flat out none) and if their young core continues to improve and show promise, things might be looking up for them after an abysmal season and 1/4.
