Fri Mar 30 2012 | 22:59 | DeWayne Wise homers twice for Yankees |
DeWayne Wise hit a pair of homers as part of the Yankees' 13-9 win over the Phillies on Friday. |
Wise picked a bad team to sign a minor league deal with in January, as he entered the spring no higher than seventh on the outfield depth chart. He's had a nice March with a .412 average in 34 at-bats, but it's not very likely that someone will trade for him and give him a job. |

DeWayne Wise went 1-for-2 with the Marlins' lone RBI in their 2-1 loss to the Angels on Monday. |
Playing for their third manager in as many days, the Marlins still produced the same result, a loss. Now a stunning 1-19 in the month of June, the Marlins are in a free-fall of unimaginable proportions. As for Wise, don't be shocked if he's off the 25-man roster by this time next month. |

Sat Jun 18 2011 | 10:34 | Wise, Bonifacio to platoon in CF |
Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez plans to platoon DeWayne Wise and Emilio Bonifacio in center field following the demotion of Chris Coghlan. |
It's what we assumed, though since Wise swings left-handed and Bonifacio is a switch-hitter, it won't be a strict platoon. Wise started on Friday and figures to see a bit more playing time in center, with Bonifacio still getting some at-bats at other positions. "We all know what kind of hitter he is. He can help us here. But he's here because of his defense,'' Rodriguez said of Wise. "... I think we need that experienced fielder out there, and I think he'll be the guy." |

Blue Jays purchased the contract of OF DeWayne Wise from Triple-A Las Vegas. |
Wise was signed to a minor league contract about a week ago after leaving the Phillies' minor league system via an out-clause in his contact. He batted just .225/.262/.366 in 142 at-bats for the White Sox last season and is unlikely to have a major impact in Toronto. |

Blue Jays signed OF DeWayne Wise to a minor league contract. |

Wed Jun 2 2010 | 17:06 | OF Wise opts out of minors deal w/ Phillies |
DeWayne Wise exercised an out-clause in his minor league contract and is now a free agent. |
Wise, 32, was able to opt out on June 1 and chose to do so. He batted just .225/.262/.366 in 142 at-bats with the White Sox in 2009 -- memorably saving Mark Buehrle's perfect game in July -- and did not garner a major league deal on the free agent market. He isn't likely to do so this time around either, but could provide decent outfield insurance for some team at Triple-A. |
