Sergio Ferrer Biography

Sergio Ferrer is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on January 29, 1951 in Santurce, Puerto Rico. Sergio Ferrer Marrero (born January 29th 1951) was an ex- Major League Baseball shortstop.

In the All-Star lineup with Larry Bowa and Dave Cash playing in the Phillies middle infield Ferrer was not able to make the roster of major league teams, and spent the entire 1976 season playing in triple A. After Cash’s departure through an agency free of charge, Ferrer went into Spring training 1977 fighting Ted Sizemore for the job at second base. In the end, Sizemore was chosen, Ferrer was dealt to the New York Yankees for outfielder Kerry Dineen. After a brief stint with the triple-A Syracuse Chiefs, he went across the city and joined the New York Mets in exchange for third baseman Roy Staiger.

Midway through the 1980 season, Ferrer was released by the Mets. He briefly played minor league ball with the Cincinnati Reds before heading to Mexico to play in the Mexican League, where he played through 1982. In 1989, he played for the St. Petersburg Pelicans and St. Lucie Legends in the Senior Professional Baseball Association.

Ferrer was back to start the campaign in the Majors the year 1975. He dominated his playing time in the beginning of the season as he backed Hall of Hall of Famer Rod Carew at second, however, the switch hitter quickly moved to an enfilade that included Thompson as short. This proved to be effective since Ferrer was able to hit .333 when facing righthanded pitching. However, he was traded back to Tacoma at the beginning of June to the displeasure of Carew who candidly voiced his displeasure at this decision. After the seasonended, he was traded to Philadelphia Phillies for catcher Larry Cox.

Ferrer is a native of Santurce, Puerto Rico, and was signed by his home team, the Los Angeles Dodgers at nineteen years old. After three seasons with the farm system, where Ferrer batted .280 which included nine home runs as well as 121 run batted in Ferrer was picked to the Minnesota Twins in the 1973 rule 5 draft.

Ferrer was the first player to join his debut with the Twins out of spring training in 1974 and quickly had an impact at his new team. In the opener of the season the Twins, he hit two-for-five and 2 runs scored. The second was scored in the 11th inning when the fast Ferrer scored at second base after a deep sacrifice fly in centerfield by Larry Hisle. The initial two months in the regular season serving as the Twins shortstop’s starting shortstop with a decent batting .281 and scoring 12 runs at the leadoff position of the Twins batsmen’s order of batting, however, his inconsistency with fielding skills led Twins director Frank Quilici to give the starting shortstop position back to the incumbent Danny Thompson. He was subsequently optioned to the triple-A Tacoma Twins in late May however, his glove showed no improvement, so it was decided to keep him in the minors throughout the rest of the season.

When starting shortstop Tim Foli tore the outer ligament on his left knee early in the 1978 season, Ferrer saw his first major league action in nearly three years. Unfortunately for Ferrer, Mets manager Joe Torre opted to shift second baseman Doug Flynn to short, and added Bobby Valentine to his starting line-up at second rather than giving playing time to Ferrer. He appeared in 37 games for the Mets, mostly as a pinch runner or late inning defensive replacement. Once Foli returned from the disabled list, Ferrer was optioned back to triple A Tidewater. He returned to the club in late July, but his role didn’t change much. His stint with the Mets in 1979 proved even less eventful; he appeared in 32 games and logged just nine plate appearances.
