Scrap HEaps BACk ALRIGHT!
Welcome welcome welcome,
The minor league free agent list has been posted at Baseball America and as always I feel as though I need to comb through and provide my feelings on possible hits and misses.
I wrote about this last year and would venture to say my hits and misses were as follows:
Hits!
- JR House - Switching Hitting Catcher who continues to mash with an 830 OPS in AAA this last year - can you say better/cheaper than Bennett?
- Cory Doyne - 12 K/9, Sub 200 BAA, Call up to Majors - Good Arm - Would have been a good use of a 40 man roster spot
- Al Reyes - We all know the story --- this would have been a Grrreeeaattt pick up...
- Kurt Ainsworth - didn't throw a pitch
- Dewon Brazelton - 3.5 ERA with his second team... Filler at this point...
- Sean Burroughs - Got a total of 12 ABs... Huh?
Interesting but no longer relevant....
- Francis Beltran
- Zach Day
- RA Dickey
- Charles Thomas
- Jerome Williams
- Clint Nageotte
- Dewon Brazelton
- Craig Wilson....
- C - JR House - Bring him in! A switch hitting catcher that "I think" will have an 800 OPS next year - at league minimum? Awesome!
- C - JD Closser - Great OBP - Horrible AVG - 768 OPS last year - 802 against RHP - Another good backup catcher option or AAA fodder imho
- SP - Jesse Foppert - 27 - 12 IP in two years - Alot like Ainsworth - Could be really good - likely flameout...
- SP - Bobby Brownlie - 27 - Another washed up cubs pitcher - but had a 227 average against last year and always was thought to have a great arm... again NRI for spring training...
- OF - Joe Borchard - 29 - 1162 OPS last year in AAA. Flamed out many times but always worth a flier in my eyes. Again NRI and give him a shot to hack in the OF - Ryan Ludwick type Pokemon
- OF - Tim Raines Jr - 29 AAA- 888 OPS 25 SB - Not a bad fifth outfielder and leadoff hitter?

You have
But I don't think JR House is a minor league free agent, at least he's not on the BA list, but if he was, yeah I would be all over him too.
