Anthony
And yet another good defensive outfielder the Braves pass up on. Wise can’t hit, but the man can cover some ground and with McLouth in CF…..the Braves are definitely going to need a late-inning defensive replacement.
Internal candidates aren’t too appealing, although I hear Matt Young is good defensively, but no arm. No idea about Mather, and I’m assuming he’ll be on the opening day roster as he’s out of options. Hinske won’t cut it defensively, Prado looks as if he can handle left field, but he’ll be in the infield at some point.
Anyway, good idea on the Marlins part. No way in hell Coghlan sticks in CF….

center field worries will not be remedied with wise. i would rather see boni. get a shot at it if coghlan struggles.

On the bright side defensively he’s solid.

All 4 have some sort of Major League expierence and D’Antona hit those homers in 685 AB’s last year so he might be one of those interesting minor league deals.

D’Antona only hit .245 with 15 home runs and 50 RBI last season. That’s his two-year total with Yakult.

Well… he’s as good as Maybin.

The book “The Last Best League” has a pretty fascinating storyline throughout it on D’Antona. It’s well worth the read, if you’ve not already read it.
He’s a low-risk, potentially high-reward slugger for peanuts. It’s okay.

I was thinking the same thing. I remember when I saw Tim Stauffer play for the first time and trying to remember why I knew his name… Looks like Stauffer figured out his stuff at the end of the season, I’m hoping D’Antona can as well.
Patrick Newman
Those stats are D’Antona’s totals over his two years with Yakult. He had a rough season in 2010.

Not that anyone cares, but Joe Thurston actually has 380 PA…

Meh.

For some bizarre reason, he’s one of my favourite Jays.

I’m happy for Clint Sammons. I hope he does well in Florida, just not against the Braves. 🙂
