Scouting Report:
Journeyman first baseman with an impressive bat. Shows
inconsistent flashes of power and contact. His swing is quite long
and he tends to dive at breaking pitches off the plate. His glove isn't much to speak of.
A childhood friend of David Ortiz, the word is that Big Papi recommended that the organization sign Madera.
Madera has been moved around from Portland to Pawtucket, and has seen a lot
of "inactive" time on disabled lists as well.
