Let's keep track of the day's minor league signings right here…
- The Nationals have signed right-hander Mitch Atkins, reports Matt Eddy of Baseball America (on Twitter). Atkins, 26, allowed ten runs in 10 2/3 innings for the Orioles last season, and has thrown a handful of big league innings in each of the last three years.
- The Rockies have signed catcher Steve Holm, tweets Eddy. The 32-year-old had two hits and a walk in 18 plate appearances for the Twins last year, his first big league action since 2009. Eddy notes that Holm is the sixth catcher Colorado has signed to a minor league deal this offseason.
Holms will be cut before Opening Day, just a spring training fill in.
Are you talking about this guy?
I know that it doesn’t mean he’s a great ballplayer, but I met Steve Holm at a minor league game in Syracuse last year. He got a hit off of Strasburg and was really, really nice.
