Sometimes I refer to Billy Beane as my favorite GM.
#EDWIN ENCARNACION NEWS PLUS#
Two years at $2.5 million per, plus a $3.5 million option for a third year. 244/.305/.482 with 21 home runs, but his play at third was still subpar.Īfter the season, the Jays DFAed him again, and this time the A’s picked him up, but then released him about a month later, and the Jays signed him as a free agent. Thankfully, Edwin cleared waivers, spent a few days in the minors, and then came back up. On June 21st, the Jays DFAed Encarnacion to add Scott Richmond to the roster.
#EDWIN ENCARNACION NEWS SERIES#
He finished off the season well, hitting five homers in the Jays season-ending, four-game series in Minneapolis. But he also had long homerless stretches that season. He would hit a homer in each of the next two game games, finishing a three-game series with five home runs. In his fourth game back, he had a three-home run game in Arizona against the Diamondbacks. In the off-season, he got hit in the face with a ‘rocket firecracker’ and ended up in hospital for a couple of days, adding the fun that fans had at his expense.Įdwin had a slow start to the 2010 season and then went on the DL with a shoulder injury in mid-April, missing 30+ games. He’d field balls flatfooted and not step into the throw properly and, far too often, miss the target. 240/.306/.442 with 8 home runs, and was instantly loved by Jays fans. Edwin? Well, he’s on this list.Įncarnacion played 42 games for the Jays in 2009, hitting. Roenicke and Stewart pitched a total of 53.1 innings for the Jays.
Edwin was a throw-in to give a little bit of monetary balance to the trades. The Jays traded Scott Rolen to the Reds for Edwin, Josh Roenicke, and Zach Stewart. He played for the Reds, mostly at third base, until July 31, 2009, a total of 514 games, hitting. In 2001 the Rangers traded him to the Reds for Rob Bell. Living in the American territory of Puerto Rico made him eligible for the MLB draft. Apparently, his family split time between the Dominican and Puerto Rico. The Rangers drafted him, in the ninth round, out of HS in Puerto Rico. Underline laziness.Įdwin Encarnacion was born January 7, 1983, in La Romana, Dominican Republic. A combination of being busy with other stuff, the time it takes to write one of these, and laziness. It has been a few days since I put up one of these. Edwin Elpidio Encarnacion | 1B, 3B, DH | 2009 - 2016
