What about Andy Marte?

Just a question?  The rumor is that Cleveland may designate him for assignment.  Obviously, he has not done anything to prove his "top prospect" status from only a couple of years ago.  Yet, maybe a change of scenery and patience would help.  Many have suggested put EE in left field if Dunn is traded. 

From what I've heard, he has really started to lose confidence because of the pressure on him.  Right now, we're horrible.......how much pressure could he feel? 

 

Anyway, I'm not suggesting we do this.  I'm asking for opinions.

Pass

He’s only 24 or so, but he’s been Castro-esque at the plate.

FWIW, I saw him play 2 AAA games last season. His swing was long and he looked about 25 pounds overweight. His range at 3B looked very limited

I would be very surprised if he isn’t a total bust.

'cause something is happening here, but you don't know what it is.

so far, he sure has been...

a bust that is. Like I said, I really don’t have an opinion on this. Just thought it was semi-interesting to consider.

If we can get him on a minor league deal

without having to have him on the 40 man, I would say yes, give him a shot to play and regain value at AAA. But I am pretty sure he is out of options and someone desperate for infield help (LAD, OAK, SD, BAL, TEX) would claim him.

He seems like a Texas Ranger to me.

I don't know how to paint a banana gourd to look like a Power Ranger.

I think that if we could sign him to a minor league deal it'd be worth a try...

an injury replacement for EdE or something…

the last once fizzled once star infield prospect that the Reds got from Cleveland turned out pretty well

too bad Wayne isn’t around

just a little bit

I realize he isn’t Billy Beane, and his roster construction could be puzzling but I still thought he was pretty decent.
