Players A to Z, Emilio Bonifacio

Emilio Bonifacio plays third base for the Florida Marlins. He can’t hit, he doesn’t walk much, and he lacks power. He doesn’t even defend well. The Marlins brought him in from the Nationals, and gave him a chance to play that lasted four months. He generated -0.6 WAR. Florida only finished five games out of the wild card. If they had invested in a 2 WAR third baseman, they might have gotten lucky enough to actually make the playoffs. My guess is no team will give a starting job of Bonifacio again.
