The name certainly will draw attention since it is not that common and that is what brought me into a look at Danny Mars. The name does offer up several possibilities for a headline or game reports since it is easy to loop his moniker into that of Mars Company. I will avoid any “Snickers” or that he “Skittles” along on the bases. There – that is out of my system.
Mars is a switch-hitter who throws right-handed. His first claim to Red Sox notoriety was being drafted in the sixth round out of Chipola College – that first name offers further opportunities – in 2014 and starting his professional journey at short-season Lowell.
