Rangers Re-Sign Bobby Wilson

By Jeff Todd | December 15, 2015 at 11:39am CDT

The Rangers have announced the re-signing of catcher Bobby Wilson to a minor league deal. Texas also announced a previously-reported two-year pact with reliever Tony Barnette.

Wilson, 32, slashed just .189/.255/.250 over 147 plate appearances last season, splitting his time between the Rangers and Rays. Though he’s seen action in parts of seven MLB campaigns, he has not quite reached 600 plate appearances in the majors. Wilson’s calling card is his glove; he continued to draw strong framing ratings last year.

    I think it’s worth mentioning that Wilson’s slash with the Rangers was a far more palatable (for a defensively minded backup catcher anyway) .221/.291/.325. His stats are largely skewed by him putting up a .145/.203/.145 slash with the Rays, good for a 0 OPS+

    Doesn’t have upside but maybe okay for a top gap.

      I dont think upside was in mind. They need warm bodies that can catch. He’ll spend his days in triple a until he’s needed.
