Since I’ve been doing trivia all week, I figured I’d do one last installment. So I made a list of all of Neal Huntington’s minor league free agent signings who ended up playing for the Pirates. I don’t know that there are any great lessons to be drawn. There’ve been three signees who brought big returns, and a few others who made very solid contributions. If you want to skim through the flotsam, of which there’s a lot, I highlighted all of these.
Realistically, a few of these guys weren’t minor league signings in the sense of players who figured to serve as depth and get called up at need.
