John Buck To Retire
By Jeff Todd [March 26, 2015 at 9:12am CDT]

Catcher John Buck is retiring in order to spend more time with his family,
the Braves announced. The veteran backstop had been in camp with Atlanta but
did not figure to make the Opening Day roster.

Buck, 34, has played in eleven big league campaigns, amassing over 4,000
plate appearances and 1,000 games behind the plate. His .234/.301/.398
batting line and 134 career home runs are solid numbers for a catcher. A
sturdy defender, Buck was a stabilizing force who saw the majority of the
catching reps for his team in eight separate seasons.

After coming up with the Royals, Buck had his biggest season in a one-year
stint with the Blue Jays in 2010. That year, Buck slashed .281/.314/.489 and
swatted a career-high twenty long balls — excellent production while
catching 118 games.

Buck landed a three-year, $18MM pact with the Marlins before the 2011
campaign, but never quite got back to his All-Star form. In addition to the
teams already named, Buck ultimately spent time with the Mets, Mariners,
Pirates, and Angels.
