When center fielder Devon White first joined the Florida Marlins, he was coming off seven American League Gold Glove Awards in his past eight seasons, including the last five-in-a-row for the Toronto Blue Jays. Prior to that, he was a mainstay for the California Angels. Before his Marlins career started, he had already appeared in over 600 games for two different franchises.
