The Rangers have signed infielder Pedro Ciriaco, according to an announcement from VP of communications John Blake. Texas will extend a spring invite with the minor league pact.
Ciriaco, 30, is a defensive wizard who doesn’t offer much with the bat. Last year, he slashed .261/.275/.352 over 151 plate appearances for the Braves. Ciricaco has taken 649 total turns at bat in parts of six seasons in the majors.
Anyone else read “Pedro Ciriaco” and think “hey, wasn’t that the voodoo worshipper from Major League?” It can’t just be me …
That’s Pedro Cerrano.
Hats for Bats
Yeah, I don’t remember him bein a defensive wizard but he did have some pop.
His .100 career ISO in the Majors and his .086 ISO career ISO in the minors doesn’t indicate “pop”, but rather the lack thereof. However you are right about him being no defensive wizard, unless “defensive wizard” in this case means being able to play multiple positions adequately.
The Yankee killah
Better than paying several million for Stephen Drew.
