Hector Luna - 1B - Player

Hector Luna went 3-for-5 with a homer Wednesday against the Twins.

It's Luna's glove, not his bat, that's kept him from having a career as a utilityman. The Phillies may decide to live with it in order to give themselves a more potent alternative to Freddy Galvis if they can't acquire an upgrade prior to Opening Day. Luna has three homers in 42 at-bats this spring.

Hector Luna - 1B - Player

Phillies signed INF Hector Luna to a minor league contract.

Luna, who turns 32 in February, batted .283/.350/.449 with 14 home runs, 58 RBI and a .799 OPS over 468 plate appearances in 2011 with Triple-A Pawtucket in the Red Sox organization. The veteran utility man has only appeared in 27 major league games since 2008, so he's a longshot to win a roster spot during spring training.

Marlins sent INF Hector Luna outright to Triple-A New Orleans.

Luna batted .138 with two homers and four RBI in 29 at-bats with the Marlins this season and .294 with 16 homers and 71 RBI for Triple-A New Orleans. He had a nice year in the minors, but turns 31 in February and isn't worthy of a spot on the 40-man.

Marlins purchased the contract of INF Hector Luna from Triple-A New Orleans.

Luna will take the roster spot vacated by Thursday afternoon's Jorge Cantu trade. The 30-year-old Luna hasn't appeared in a major league game since 2008 but he's posted a respectable .845 OPS, 16 homers and 71 RBI in 354 at-bats on the Triple-A level this season. Not bad.
