well the baseball in the united states is alot more advanced than any other country out there....its proven that U.S. baseball is better than any country (in south america), dominican republic, japan and all other countries in the world... and if those countries have any REALLY REALLY GOOD PLAYERS, they are most likely to tranfer to the MAJOR LEAGUES in the U.S.
heres an example of howbaseball is here compared to other countries:
PRO PLAYER STADIUM c---where the marlins play : straight away center field is 445 feet homerun cthats the maximum in the world
TOKYO STADIUM c straight away center is 375 feet (note: that japan is 2nd in baseball organizations) also remember if a player is really really good like Matsui (who used to play in Japan, he was their best player) they transfer to the U.S. *he now plays for the yankees and lost the world series

*
Fastball in other countries average 85 mph: Here in the U.S. Major league baseball the average is 98-103 mph
SO IN OTHER WORDS all the good players in the world transfer to THE MAJOR LEAGUES IN THE U.S...
so the marlins do have the right to be called WORLD SERIES CHAMPS!!!!
btw the marlins had the youngest players averaged to win a world series
age average for the marlins is 23
