The Marlins sent outfielder outright to Triple-A Jacksonville, as reflected on the MLB.com . Miami designated the former top prospect for a signment yesterday with returning from the injured list. Miami claimed Pache off waivers from the Orioles shortly after the trade deadline. The defensive stalwart appeared in 35 games for the Fish. As has been the case at every MLB spot, he Wilson Chandler Jersey didnt contribute offensively. Pache hit .183/.234/.283 in 64 plate appearances. Hes now a career .181/.243/.275 hitter in 251 big league contests spanning parts of five seasons. Pache, 25, ha appeared with five MLB teams over that stretch. One of the headlining pieces in the trade between the Braves and As, he has simply never developed at the plate. Paches prospect stock was built largely on his perceived floor as an elite defensive center fielder. He has indeed proven a gifted defender 11 Defensive Runs Saved and 17 Outs Above Average in a little more than 1500 career innings but his bat has been so light that hes limited to a fifth outfielder role. While this was the fourth time in which Pache has been squeezed off a roster, its the first time hes gone unclaimed on waivers. His three-plus years of MLB service give him the right to elect free agency. Theres no indication hell do so right now, but thats immaterial. Pache will qualify for minor league free agency at the end of the season regardle s. Unle s the Marlins call him back up within the next few days, hell hit the market. Pache will probably be limited to minor league offers at this point. Hes out of options, so if a team were to sign him to a big league deal, theyd need to carry him on the MLB roster or put him back on waivers. His glove and former prospect status should lead to plenty of interest as a non-roster depth player. DeAndre Jordan Jersey
