The Edmonton Capitals of the independent North American League have signed Willy Aybar, the league announced. The Rays non-tendered the 28-year-old switch-hitter in December and he remained a free agent until today without drawing any reported interest.
The five-year veteran appeared in 100 games for the Rays last season, his third in Tampa. He finished the season with a .230/.309/.344 line through 309 plate appearances as a utility infielder. Aybar has a .258/.341/.399 career line and experience at all four infield positions since breaking in with the Dodgers in 2005.
dayum! how low can you go
What do you do for a living?
It’s not about status, it’s about playing the game that these players love.
The Mariners could use someone like him. You know, a batter.
Erick > Willy
Needs to change pronunciation to Willy Eh-bar now.
Thats a shame
too bad this guy would have been better than Hu
I was wondering why he didnt get signed honestly.
Am I the only person who thought Aybar had made a foray into hockey until actually reading the post?
