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.

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.

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.

God played a cruel version of Telephone and gave me crabs instead.
