Atlanta Braves Sign 2B Landoni To Minor League Deal

The Braves have added former Yankees farmhand Emerson Landoni on a Minor League contract. The soon to be 23 year old has played 5 seasons in the Minors, the last 4 with the Yankees, reaching High A Tampa last year, where he hit .254 with a .617 OPS in 258 plate appearances. He has a career .265 average and a .666 OPS, mainly playing second base while also appearing at shortstop and third base. He'll likely appear with either Rome or Lynchburg in 2012.

The Florida Marlins signed third baseman Shawn Bowman to a Minor League deal. Bowman spent the 2011 season with the Atlanta organization, hitting .259 with a .713 OPS 8 homers and 21 RBI in 234 plate appearances between Gwinnett, MIssissippi, and a rehab stint in the GCL.

Comments like this always strike me as unnecessary. I’d certainly agree, signing a guy who might not even make it out of Spring Training, and even if he does will just be an A ball utility infielder, isn’t an exciting move, but why comment about how unexciting it is?

I wrote a novel, it's about baseball, you should buy it:

It's sarcasm

You’re just mad because it was a comment on your own post. If people can’t come to TC and make sarcastic jokes what’s it all for then? What?

Guy’s still young, you never know what could happen with these types of players.

If we can land [Stephen Drew], I will give FW a bj.

I don’t care about it being on my post. And obviously it was sarcasm. My point is, why on something like this? It’s obvious no one cares about this move. Emerson Landoni barely cares about this move. It seems like there are better places on the site to share your biting wit.

I care

I like knowing when somebody new enters the pipeline. The Minor League recaps are one of my favorite parts of TC, without posts like this, I’d be scratching my ass trying figure out where this guy came from.

Thanks for posting it.
