John Buck

John Buck recently signed a 3 yr. contract with the Florida Marlins. In 2010 he played for the Toronto Blue Jays and batted .281, hit 20 homeruns and drove in 66 runs. But in many ways his largest impact on the team was his ability to handle a young pitching staff. With the loss of Dan Uggla and Cameron Maybin in trades Buck can step into the middle part of the line-up and make major contributions.
