SUGAR LAND, TEXAS - The Sugar Land Skeeters and manager Gary Gaetti announced the signing of outfielder Jeremy Barfield prior to the contest with Southern Maryland on Saturday. The outfield slugger hit .407 with four home runs and eight RBI against the Skeeters this year.

Barfield, 26, was hitting .350 with Camden earlier this year before journeying to Mexico to play for the Tigres de Quintana Roo. An eight-year veteran out of nearby Klein High School and San Jacinto College, Barfield boasts a .261 career average with 73 home runs and 387 RBI. The outfielder was drafted by the Mets in the ninth-round of the 2006 Draft out of high school and again selected in the eighth-round of the 2008 Draft out of San Jacinto. He advanced as high as Triple-A with the Athletics in 2013 and is in his first season playing in the Atlantic League.

To make room on the roster for Barfield, utility man Edwin Gomez was released.

The Skeeters continue the 2015 campaign against Southern Maryland this evening. First pitch is slated for 6:05 p.m. with gates opening at 5 p.m. Season tickets and special game plans are still available for the 2015 campaign.
