The Florida Marlins have signed first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz to a minor league deal according to Matt Eddy of Baseball America.  Mientkiewicz only had 20 plate appearances in 2009 due to shoulder surgery in April of the ‘09 season.  The Los Angeles Dodgers had re-signed Mientkiewicz to a minor league deal in December of last year, but asked for his release after not making the team.  He also turned town a number of coaching opportunities from Major League and Independent League teams.  Mientkiewicz has also spent time with Minnesota, Boston, Kansas City, the New York Mets, the New York Yankees, Pittsburgh and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
