Marlins updated roster numbers
A new season means some new faces in Spring Training along with some new numbers.
As a refresher for the upcoming season, Marlins fans may want to check out the roster page on marlins.com for the latest updates. For instance, first baseman Gaby Sanchez no longer is wearing No. 14. Instead, he has switched to No. 15.
John Buck, the club's new catcher, will be wearing No. 14.
In the offseason, the Marlins made several significant free agent signings as well as trades.
Omar Infante, obtained from Atlanta in the Dan Uggla trade, will be wearing No. 13. Uggla's old No. 6 is now being worn by catcher Brad Davis.
Javier Vazquez will be No. 23, while Randy Choate isNo. 35. Other newcomers and their numbers are Edward Mujica (34), Ryan Webb (58) and Dustin Richardson (24).
Along with new numbers, one Marlin on the 40-man roster will be at a new position. Chris Hatcher, formerly a catcher, is switching to pitching.
Hatcher, the Marlins' fifth-round pick in 2006, pitched a little in college at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. He also has thrown a couple of innings at the Minor League level.
At Double-A Jacksonville last year, Hatcher made one appearance, and he collected the win.
The Marlins also have added two more non-roster invitees to Spring Training -- outfielders Jorge Padilla and Alex Romero.
