Scratch the need for a veteran backup, right-handed hitting infielder off the Marlins' shopping list.
Quiet for much of the offseason, the Marlins on Friday filled a void by signing free-agent infielder Aaron Boone to a one-year contract. According to the Associated Press, the deal is worth $925,000, with performance bonuses that can bring the deal to as much as $1.275 million.

The 33-year-old, who faced the Marlins in the 2003 World Series while he was with the Yankees, provides a backup at third and first base. He's also a quality right-handed bat off the bench.

Another reason for me to watch the Marlins this year. Count me in as
a major Boone fan ever since he played for the Reds. He is a class act,
he should hit better this year than last. I think he pressed some last year,
by coming back from his injury.

He can still play ball, and will bring some leadership to the young
Marlins team. A team that could be the wild card in the playoffs.
