GMZ continued his poaching of the farm system he built in Milwaukee by signing 2B Callix Crabbe, a 25 yo who'd been in the Brewers farm system.
Crabbe was selected by the Padres in last year's Rule 5 draft, but was returned to Milwaukee in May. He's a guy with great plate discipline, and little to no power. He's a poor man's Luis Valbuena, but with a much, much cooler name. A great guy to plug in Tacoma with the departure of Yung-Chi Chen.
And, since there's been so much talk about OTHER teams signing shortstops, the M's also picked up ex-Mets/Blue Jays SS Chris Woodward. I'm guessing Woodward fills the Mark Kiger/Oswaldo Navarro role as back-up to Tug, or as starter in West Tennessee.
Nice work Jack.

From our own system, I tend to side with Jetsy Extrano, Oberth Guanire, Johalbi Chourio, Isliexel Gonzalez (first name only), Janelfry Zorilla, and Axel Wel. I know Gomez likes Bruno Mercedes, adn that’s a good one too, quite powerful.
I don’t know that I’d follow the summer leagues if not for the names, which aren’t names so much as dumping grounds for syllables and rare lessons in Roman history.

I can't hate anyone who hits Home Runs off of JoEL Pineiro
I am no longer in Spokane, but I think I'll keep the name anyway.
That must be why I remember him being good.
Even though he quite obviously was not.

Too tiny

Inversely proportional to the lack of surprise.

lack of surprise. It's a double negative.
A small image = a large lack of surprise = a small amount of surprise.
The effect was lost because the pic was too small to recognize.

That ain't not an incorrect assessment.

That is what you get for sleeping with god.

Chris Woodward will be a Mariner next September!
