Here are the day's minor league signings…
- The Marlins have signed Kevin Kouzmanoff to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training, reports Juan C. Rodriguez of The Sun Sentinel (on Twitter). The 31-year-old infielder hit .276/.309/.382 in 355 Triple-A plate appearances this year. He hasn't played in the big leagues since 2011.
- The Marlins also signed Jordan Smith to a minor league pact with an invite to Spring Training according to Rodriguez. Smith, 26, pitched to a 4.76 ERA with 5.7 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 in 56 2/3 innings for the Reds' Triple-A affiliate this year. The right-hander posted a 4.94 ERA in 62 relief innings for Cincinnati from 2010-2011.
Still waiting for Kevin Kouzmanoff to have his breakout season
You’ll see a .300 20 HR 70 or 80 RBI’s … The most any team can get from him.
No you wont!!! He played in the minors all last year
youre joking right?
Well, it IS an upgrade over Gil Velazquez and Donnie Murphy.
Anything is and wouldn’t shock me 1 bit to see him starting at 3b come opening day.. FAR sight better than watching Bonifacio attempt 3b again.
Low risk, medium reward signing and I like it. If the power comes back, Kouz has the chance to be a 20 HR/30 2B guy with a solid glove. You’ll take that for $500K or whatever he’s going to get.
Yeah, and a hideous OBP with a mediocre at best BA.
You get what you pay for.
Still could bring in other 3B to.
