Tom D'Angelo, of The Palm Beach Post, is reporting Florida Marlins 3B Dallas McPherson is a candidate to replace 1B Mike Jacobs at first.
The Miami Herald's Barry Jackson reports the Florida Marlins believe 3B Dallas McPherson is ready for a big-league job.
The South Florida SunSentinel reports Florida Marlins 3B Dallas McPherson is considering a stint in the Dominican for winter ball, but he hasn't made up his mind.
The Associated Press reports Florida Marlins 3B Dallas McPherson could become the team's full-time third baseman next season. He led the minors with 42 home runs this season.
News: Dallas McPherson, who hit 42 home runs for Albuquerque, was recalled from the Triple-A team. Playing primarily at third base but also seeing some time at first, McPherson hit .275 with 98 RBI. "To be able to make it the whole season with no back problems and no major injuries, it's been a real blessing," McPherson said. "I just wanted to show I wasn't a guy who's always injured." McPherson missed the 2007 season while recovering from back surgery. He finished spring training hitting just .095 in 21 at-bats and was beat out by third baseman Jorge Cantu. "I wasn't really disappointed," McPherson said. "Everybody stayed healthy and played good. There really wasn't a spot for me. I always kind of knew that the team would call me up when they felt like they could use me. Obviously, that situation never happened. I was fine with staying down and just continuing to prove that I could play at this level."
Analysis: The Marlins have a slew of players who are first-time arbitration eligible after this season, including Cantu and first baseman Mike Jacobs. The usually frugal Florida franchise likely will not attempt to keep all of them, giving McPherson a chance to audition for a spot on next year's roster. "He's a big left-handed hitter. A guy with a lot of power who can change the lineup," Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "This is a good opportunity for him to get a feel for the big leagues again." He won't be a regular at this point, but his power potential is elite and certainly makes him an intriguing flier in deeper formats down the stretch. He will get as many at-bats as his hitting earns him -- which could be quite a few
