| Steve Holm (C) COL |
|
Holm has signed a minor league deal with the Rockies, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports. |
| Holm was one of the utterly incompetent catchers the Twins attempted to replace Joe Mauer with in 2011. In six MLB games, Holm hit .118/.167/.176, which is roughly what we'd expect from a player who hit .179/.267/.238 in 47 games at Triple-A Rochester. |
| Mitch Atkins (P) BAL |
|
Atkins has signed with the Nationals, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports. |
| Atkins was last seen in Baltimore, where he was utterly crushed in three starts, allowing an 8.44 ERA and five home runs in 10.2 innings. He wasn't much better at Triple-A, giving up a 5.44 ERA in 17 starts. Don't expect him to serve as much more than depth for Washington. |
| Koby Clemens (1B) TOR |
|
Clemens has signed a minor-league deal with the Blue Jays, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports. |
| Clemens has solid power, with 42 home runs over the past two seasons. However, he struggles mightily with the strikeout -- in his last 836 at-bats, Clemens has struck out 260 times, an unacceptable 31.1% mark. His path to the majors will be blocked until he can severely cut down on the strikeouts. At 25, time is running out. |
| Mauro Gomez (1B) BOS |
|
Gomez has signed with the Red Sox, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports. |
| At 26, Gomez was old for Triple-A, but it's tough to knock his performance. In 507 at-bats, the righty clubbed 24 home runs and hit .304/.355/.521 with the Gwinett Braves. It's tough to imagine Gomez making the majors behind Adrian Gonzalez, but he would seem to be a solid depth option for the Sox. |
| Scott Moviel (P) NY-N |
|
Moviel has been suspended for drug use, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. |
| Moviel has yet to make it past the High-A level. At 24 next season, it's getting close to put-up-or-shut-up time, and that may have influenced Moviel's drug use. |
