Guzmán, an infielder, signed with the
Los Angeles Dodgers
as an international free agent on July 2, 2001.
He was signed for .25 million, a then-franchise record signing bonus.
Guzmán worked his way through the minor leagues, becoming a top prospect & was named the Dodgers Minor League Player of the Year in 2004 & was elected to the Florida State League All-Star Game.
In 2005, as a member of the AA Jacksonville Suns, he was named a Southern League All-Star & ranked the fifth-best overall prospect by Baseball America.
Guzmán also played in the All-Star Futures Game twice, in 2004 and 2006, respectively.
Guzman made his major league debut in 2006 with the Dodgers.
A year later in 2007, he was traded to the
Tampa Bay Rays
.
Overall, Guzmán enjoyed a 15-year career in professional baseball including the Minor Leagues, Mexican League, Major Leagues & Nippon Professional League (NPB) in Japan.
This iconic figurine, which was sponsored by Jacksonville’s
First Coast News and Jeep & Chrysler Dealers of North Florida.
This
is a highly sought after collectible by Jacksonville Suns’ collectors, as Guzmán was the hottest prospect in the Dodgers’ organization at the time.
This iconic, vintage Suns’ 2006 Stadium Giveaway Item is an exceptional original piece of baseball history & is a definite MUST-HAVE for any Joel Guzmán fan, Dodgers’ fan, Jacksonville Suns’ fan, MLB fan (or any baseball fan for that matter!) which commemorates Guzmán’s lone 2005 season in Jacksonville in which the Suns captured the 2005 Southern League title!
