That also means that today’s grid has asked for players that have played for both the Miami Marlins and Houston Astros.
And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a little help. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found a player who played for both the Marlins and Astros.
Moises Alou
Moises Alou, who played from 1990 to 2008, is best known for his time as an outfielder with the Montreal Expos, Florida Marlins, and Chicago Cubs.
Over his 17-season career, Alou compiled over 2100 hits, 332 home runs, and a .303 career batting average. He was named an All-Star six times (Expos, Marlins, Astros, Cubs, Giants) and played a key role in the Florida Marlins’ 1997 World Series championship.
His best statistical season might have been in 2000 with the Houston Astros when he hit .355 with 30 home runs and 114 RBIs.
Carlos Lee
Carlos Lee, who played from 1999 to 2012, is best known for his time as an outfielder with the Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros.
Over his 14-season career, Lee amassed over 2200 hits, 358 home runs, and maintained a .285 career batting average. He was named an All-Star three times (Brewers, Astros) and was consistently a power threat in the middle of the lineup.
His most productive season may have been 2006 when he split time between the Brewers and Rangers, batting .300 with 37 home runs and 116 RBIs.
Preston Wilson
Preston Wilson is a Center Fielder who played in the majors from 1998 to 2007 who was a solid player for most of his career. However, he had one amazing season in 2003 with the Rockies when he led the National League in RBIs with 141, making his lone All-Star game that year.
Thanks to a late-season trade he also won a World Series with the Cardinals in 2006.
Preston played for 6 different teams over his 10 year career including the Marlins, Rockies, Cardinals, Mets, Nationals and Astros.
