First baseman/outfielder Justin Huber had two at-bats with the Twins in 2009. He was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia and was signed by the Mets in 2000. He hit well throughout his early minor league career, reaching AAA briefly in 2004. He was then traded to Kansas City, for whom he reached the majors for a week in June and then received a September call-up in 2005. He had been a catcher in the Mets' system, but was moved to first base by the Royals. He hit well in AAA for Kansas City, but got only brief trials with the big club, batting only 98 times in three seasons. He was sold to San Diego late in spring training of 2008 but did not get much of a chance there, getting 61 at-bats in 33 games. Huber became a free agent after the 2008 season and the Twins signed him. He hit .273 with 22 homers in Rochester in 2009, earning a September call-up. Unfortunately, he got only two at-bats, going 1-for-2, before being injured for the rest of the season. Minnesota released him after the season, and he signed to play for the Hiroshima Carp in Japan. He came back to the United States and signed with Minnesota for 2011, but was released during spring training. He is currently playing for Somerset in the Atlantic League. He clearly has no potential for stardom, but he's a guy who can play first, corner outfield, be an emergency catcher, and be a power bat off the bench. It's hard to understand why no major league team wants him to do that, but apparently none does. He only turns 29 today, so perhaps the Justin Huber story can still have a happy ending.
