The Miami Marlins sign infielder Chase Lambin
The Marlins have signed 32-year old switch-hitting infielder Chase Lambin to a minor league deal. Lambin played 134 games in AAA-ball for the Twins last year and he was 129 of 471 (.274 avg, .728 OPS) with 49 runs scored, 6 homers, 46 RBIs and 1 stolen base. He has now played in 1,080 games in his first 10 years in the minors and he is 973 of 3,605 (.270 avg, .783 OPS) with 504 runs scored, 108 homers, 483 RBIs and 45 stolen bases. Lambin is going to be a big time longshot to make the Marlins out of spring training, but his versatility in the field is a big asset. He will likely start 2012 in AAA-ball.
