Enrique Wilson
Enrique Wilson Martes (born
July 27,
1973 in
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) is a former
Major League Baseball infielder. He bats
switch and throws right-handed.
In his eight-season career, Wilson has played with the
Cleveland Indians (
1997-
2000),
Pittsburgh Pirates (
2000-
2001),
New York Yankees (
2001-
2004), and with the
Chicago Cubs (
2005).
Versatile, but not valuable anywhere he plays, Wilson has had a rather uneventful career, mostly as a backup at
second base,
third and
shortstop, playing hitters well, and has a strong arm. Wilson has some pop in his bat, and he will run occasionally, but he is smart enough not to try to
steal very often.
Wilson is a career .244 hitter with 22
home runs and 141
RBI in 555 games. He was signed by the
Baltimore Orioles to a minor-league contract before the
2005 season.
Wison has surprisingly very good numbers off of ace pitcher
Pedro Martinez, one of the best pitchers in the game.
In 2006, Wilson plays for the Boston Red Sox's Triple A team the Paw Sox. He retired on August 2, 2006.
