The Pirates announced today they've signed catcher Jose Morales to a minor league deal with a Spring Training invite. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports first tweeted the near-agreement last night.
Morales, 28, has a .289/.365/.344 career batting line in 252 big league plate appearances for the Twins and Rockies. This year at Triple-A he hit .264/.350/.380 in 295 plate appearances.
Who?
Puts them over the top now… Look out St. Louis & Milwaukee.
Before the smart-alec comments start rolling in, please remember that this only minor league catching depth.
He’s a passable big league backup. He handles pitching staffs well, and has OK on-base skills.
Is this the same Jose Morales that played for the Dodgers back in 84?
that’s foolish. they should have traded for jeff mathis
Guy isnt a bad sign for Pirates. Could be a good catcher.
