We make a rare foray into the FA market, albeit at its shallower end, just looking to bolster our SP ranks should we run into injury problems.
Again, Lew's profile is not one I usually go anywhere near, but for less than 50K for a 1+1, he's a relatively cheap insurance policy. He may even have to bide his time at AAA, we'll think on that some more and make the call when the time comes.
We also pick up C / OF Johnny Blanchard in the Rule 5 Draft. I like how he projects and think we have the scope to hide him away this year as Roseboro's backup, while also giving us another corner OF option if needed. A touch of lightning in his bat according to the scouting reports, especially when he fully matures.
