Amaury Marti is currently hitting .424/.509/.633 in 39 games for the Mexican Red Devils of the Mexican League, also known as Liga de Amaury Cazana. Bud Selig ordered the Cardinals to banish him to there, in fear of the major leagues losing competitive balance.
Amaury also refuses to accept the watch curse. He has the power to curse, and the power to bless.

A few posts ago, I pointed out that at least according to the Minor League Splits Database, Colby Rasmus rates as a pretty bad outfielder. Jeff Sackmann, who runs the site uses David Gassko’s system in measuring range. I wondered who where the best and worst fielders in the system, and here’s what I found-
