The latest minor league moves from around baseball…
- The Cardinals signed left-hander Tommy Layne to a minor league deal, and Layne made his organizational debut last night with an inning of work for Double-A Springfield. Layne posted a 7.62 ERA and 1.13 K/BB rate over 13 relief innings for the Yankees last season before being released, and he has since bounced around in the Dodgers and Red Sox farm systems on minors contracts. Prior to his rough 2017 campaign, Layne had a solid 3.23 ERA and 8.4 K/9 (albeit against a 4.2 BB/9) over 136 2/3 career innings with the Padres, Red Sox, and Yankees, displaying some LOOGY tendencies thanks to some wide career splits. Left-handed batters have managed just a .516 OPS against Layne in his big league career, while right-handed batters have a strong .840 OPS.
Yesssss!! I like this singing!! The cardinals need whatever it takes to start winning more
What tune does he sing?
He’s a lefty “singer” so that’s a good start.
Sorry man I had to write it fast so I couldn’t check my spelling. I meant signing
A natural move by Mr. Mozeliak. He refuses to trade for star talent lefties!! This guy has been through 4 other teams unsuccessfully. Yet Mozeliak thinks he’s finally found that lightning in a bottle with this guy. Thanks Mo!!! This ought to make the Cardinals score more runs!
