Towers Signs another Utility guy

[love_that_reefer]

The Diamondbacks have signed Cody Ransom, according to MLB.com's transactions page. The veteran utility infielder has a career .702 OPS accumulated over eight Major League seasons with the Giants, Astros, Yankees and, most recently, the Phillies.

Ransom, who turns 35 in February, is a native of Mesa, Arizona. He is the second utilityman the D'Backs have signed in the past week, following their acquisition of Willie Bloomquist. This could be a minor league depth move for the Snakes, since the club already has Bloomquist, Tony Abreu, Ryan Roberts and others battling for a backup infield spot.

This is starting to get a little ridiculous. Mora, Blum, Bloomquist and now Ransom. Is this really the solution Towers had in mind when he wanted to reduce the amount of strikeouts?

He's on the phone with Dave Hansen's agent as we speak.

I hear Farney and Ryan Freel are still looking for work.

I can actually see Freel happening. It was a well known fact that Towers wanted him in San Diego when he was still here.

Time to bring Shane Halter and Joe McEwing out of retirement!
