The 31-year-old catcher-first baseman-DH, who was with the Newark Bears when they still played in the Atlantic League in 2009-10, hit 18 homers while splitting time with two Mexican League teams one winter ago. He is the league's top hitter at .366 this season (213 at-bats) and has 13 homers and 44 runs batted in.
Madera, now on the roster of the New Jersey Jackals (Little Falls) of the Can-Am League where he played in '05, '07 and for a brief time last season, is one of a number of current or former Independent players doing well in winter leagues. We will trace more of those successes in our next Independent Baseball Insider
column which goes out to subscribers on Thursday.
