Marlins.MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports Florida Marlins C John Baker will likely head into spring training the frontrunner to start.
Matt Treanor and Mike Rabelo were platooning behind the plate at the beginning of the season, but injuries to Rabelo and lack of production offensively at the position made catcher a target at the Trade Deadline. But Baker stepped up since joining the team on July 9 and, shortly thereafter, cemented the starting job for the rest of the year. Baker, a left-handed hitter with a good approach at the plate, figures to be a favorite to start for the team in 2009, but he needs to improve his defense.
Joe Frisaro, of MLB.com, reports Florida Marlins C John Baker is the favorite to start at catcher in 2009.
News: The Sports Xchange notes that John Baker returned to the starting lineup Friday at New York for the first time since Tuesday and went 2-for-3. He missed Wednesday's game with a sore left knee.
Analysis: Consider Baker a sleeper in deeper NL-only leagues and a potential starter entering spring 2009. He isn't a great prospect, but he's proving he knows how to hit in the majors
Joe Frisaro, of MLB.com, reports Florida Marlins C John Baker (knee) is expected to be in the lineup Thursday, Sept. 25. He is listed as day-to-day with a sore left knee.
