Joshua David Willingham (born February 17, 1979 in Florence, Alabama), is an American Major League Baseball player for the Florida Marlins. A power-hitting prospect for six minor league seasons, Willingham has been held back by his injuries. Drafted as a shortstop, he moved behind home plate to become a Catcher, since his current positions were safly controlled by Major League veterans, but today is projected to become first baseman or a left fielder in the future. Marlins manager Joe Girardi, a former catcher himself who won 3 World Series with the Yankees, said that Willingham would likely start as the catcher in 2006 unless he does not do well behind the plate, in which case he would patrol left field. He is one of several hopeful 2006 National League Rookie of the Year Candidates with the Marlins, along with right fielder Jeremy Hermida, shortstop Hanley Ramirez, and first baseman Mike Jacobs, as well as any other of the Marlins' prospects who could make the team.
