60-Man Player Pool Additions: 9/9/20

By Jeff Todd | September 9, 2020 at 8:42pm CDT

Here are the latest players added to their team’s 60-man player pool …

  • Hurlers Penn Murfee and Ian McKinney are now a part of the Mariners’ 60-man group, Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times tweets. The 26-year-old Murfee had a strong 2019 showing, producing good numbers at the High-A level and then dominating Arizona Fall League hitters. It’s possible he could be an option at the MLB level if he shows well at the alternate training site. The same holds true of McKinney, 25, who joined Murfee as a productive member of the Modesto rotation last year. McKinney is a 2013 draftee who joined the Seattle organization as a minor-league free agent in advance of the 2019 season.
  • The Rays brought aboard a pair of youngsters in righty Seth Johnson and infielder Ford Proctor, as Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times covers on Twitter. The 40th overall pick of the 2019 draft, Johnson hasn’t pitched above the Rookie ball level and is likely being added for developmental purposes. Proctor, 23, is a 2018 third-rounder who has shown strong on-base ability but little power in the low minors. He appeared this year in the Constellation Energy League, knocking out a healthy .346/.500/.679 slash in 28 games.
  • The Padres have added youngster Owen Caissie to their pool at just 18 years of age, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports via Twitter. It’s quite the vote of confidence in the recent second-round pick, who obviously won’t be expected to make his professional debut this year at the MLB level. The Canadian outfielder will get some excellent experience at the Friars’ alternate training site before joining an affiliate in 2021.

      Funnest fact of all: Murfee was the name of the president’s first pet, a goldfish. It went missing when he was six-years-old and the future president blamed its disappearance on socialism.

    Yet another fun fact: A Siamese cat was a published author on physics journals. His name wasn’t Murfee, but his PEN name was F. D. C. Willard.

    How about Ford Proctor as a name? Sounds like a galactic hitchhiker.

    Although they are not listed—— The St. Louis Cardinals have absolutely NO hitters in their current system they could bring up and make any impact. They have NO Players who could do any better than their current runs plagued offensive unit of players. FRUSTRATING TO SAY THE LEAST.

    I’ve been a Cardinal fan since the 50’s. Along with the Yankees, there is no team that has a better organizational history than those two teams.

    Since 2011— the Cardinals front office, outside of a couple of player accusations, has used pathetic judgement in lopsided trades benefiting the other side. The accusations of over the hill free agents for More money than they’re worth, for over too long a period of time. Plus, consistently trading off talented major league talented ready minor leaguers to other teams where they become stars!!

    It is so obviously that The Cardinal Front Office is so inept in their player evaluation skills !!! Yet as the team offense continues down hill, Both the Cardinal owners and the Press continue to defend the stand pat theory of John Mozeliak. Other teams try to make themselves better as the seasons progress.

    From the Cardinals fan base’s views, it no
    Longer just appears The Cardinals Front Office has lost their abilities to enhance the Cardinals talent on the team. It Is now a fore gone fact John Mozeliak is a Liability to to future of the Cardinals. Plus, “IF” pitching gets the Cards into the last playoff spot—- Fans know tha the Current Front office will remain in tact and the Cards offense will continue to start hitters who can only sustain a Mendoza Line batting average.
