If there’s one way that a player can guarantee to have my full support, it’s to be a fringey outfielder. Casper Wells, Cole Gillespie, Daniel Robertson, Jacob Hannemann... each and every one of these players wormed their way into my heart to some degree. Although most of their contributions were fairly limited, the memories - however distant - live on.
Cameron Perkins is the next in line for filling the lovable fringey outfield spot. After spending his entire career in the Phillies organization, he was claimed off waivers by the Mariners in mid-December.
