JUPITER -- Because the lockers inside the Marlins' spring training clubhouse are arranged numerically, Emilio Bonifacio sits just to the right of Hanley Ramirez while Jose Reyes is a few stalls away to his left.

That is why, when asked how many bases he thought the three of them might steal, Ramirez looked one way and then the other before closing his eyes, performing the math in his head, and producing an answer.

"130 to 150," Ramirez said.

Chimed in Bonifacio: "40 each."

It's all guesswork now. But this much is certain: New manager Ozzie Guillen intends for the Marlins to be aggressive on the base paths, whether it is stealing bases or advancing the extra base on hits. And he has the weapons to do it.

A Marlins lineup featuring Reyes, Bonifacio and Ramirez in the top three positions on the lineup card — the "Dominican Trio" as Ramirez labels the three natives of the Dominican Republic — could make life miserable for opposing pitchers.

"Scary even to think about," said Marlins cleanup man Mike Stanton.

While Guillen hasn't ruled out the possibility of inserting Omar Infante in the No. 2 spot — between Reyes and Ramirez — it was the desire by the front office to pack the top of the lineup with speed that compelled them to sign Reyes.

The 2003 blueprint

The team's baseball minds wanted to go retro in trying to recreate the winning blueprint from 2003, when a one-two punch of Juan Pierre and Luis Castillo led the team's World Series charge. The '03 club stole 177 bases — a team record that the rebranded Miami Marlins could challenge.

Bonifacio finished in a tie for second in the National League last season with 40 stolen bases.

Reyes was one steal behind him. And Ramirez, despite being limited to 92 games due to injury, ended up with 20.

Reyes is a three-time, stolen-base champion, though his numbers have diminished some the past several seasons due to leg injuries. Ramirez was a greater threat to steal a few years ago before he got bigger and became more of a run producer than a top-of-the-order catalyst.

Everyone invited

Still, all three can run. And Guillen wants everyone on the team, from Gaby Sanchez to catcher John Buck, to join in the action.

"I'm not going to say Gaby Sanchez is going to steal 30 bases," Guillen said. "But why not 10? Scouts [will say] 'Be aware, because Ozzie will be running with Buck and Sanchez.' That's the kind of scouting report I want people to have.

"Sometimes we might not look good running the bases and people will second-guess me, 'Why do you have these guys running?' I don't care what people think."

He'll get no complaints from Reyes, Bonifacio and Ramirez.

"It's going to be exciting," said Reyes, who arrived to camp on Thursday. "We're going to put some pressure on the other teams. I want to take the field, start playing games and see what's going to happen."

Guillen doesn't have anything against the new home run sculpture at the Marlins' new ballpark. But he said he would prefer a style of play built on speed and aggressive base running, not power.

"I'm a baseball fan," Guillen said. "I love to watch a baseball game. I don't like to watch home run derbies. I want everyone running in spring training. I want to see what we have.

"I like speed."
