Elieser Marrero, is a former Major League Baseball player. Marrero started his career as a catcher, but spent time at first base, third base and in the outfield. Marrero was selected in the 3rd round of the June 1993 draft by the St. Louis Cardinals. He missed much of the 2000 season due to thyroid cancer. During that time, he lost his job as the starting catcher for the Cardinals, so when he returned he started logging time in the outfield and at first, in addition to occasional duty behind the plate. On July 2, 2006, Marrero saw his first major league action at third base, playing two innings there for the New York Mets. While with the Cardinals, Marrero caught Bud Smith's no-hitter on September 3, 2001. The Cardinals traded Marrero to the Atlanta Braves in December 2003 as part of a package for pitchers Jason Marquis and rookie prospect Adam Wainwright, where he hit .415 against left-handed pitchers as a platoon outfielder. Following the 2004 season, the Braves dealt him to the Kansas City Royals, who were in need of a power-hitting corner outfielder, in exchange for minor-league pitcher Jorge Vasquez.
