Greg’s “That Guy” Baseball Trivia
- Was a mini-stud 3B/cleanup man with the D-Backs. .280/.339/.453/.792 over 6 seasons. A couple 20+ HR seasons mixed in there. Kind of went downhill towards the end of his D-Backs tenure.
- He made the Cubs opening day roster after signing a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
- If you take his jersey number he wore with the D-Backs and divide it by 2. That is the number he wore for the Cubs.
- Slashed .250/.327.295 with 0 HRs with the Cubs
- He was DFAd, cleared waivers, and sent down to Iowa to make room for Starlin Castro.
- The Yankees picked his ass up in July but it didn't last long. He finished the season with the Marlins. And if you take his jersey number he wore with the D-Backs and divide it by 6. That is the number for the Marlins.
- **For extra credit, tell me the Marlins player that wore that number previously before he was dealt to the Rangers a week earlier.
- He’s currently coaching a 14U Travel girls softball team in NC, and I believe one of his daughters plays on the team as well.
