New MiLB infielder acquisitions

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.

We have this conversation every few months.

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.
