According to Matt Eddy from Baseball America, the Pittsburgh Pirates have signed outfielder Danny Ortiz to a minor league deal. He was a 2008 draft pick of the Minnesota Twins, selected in the fourth round, who has spent the last two seasons in AAA. The 25-year-old(turns 26 in January) throws/hits left-handed and has moved around the outfield, playing all three positions often.
In 2015 in the International League, Ortiz hit .248/.295/.430 in 131 games, with 31 doubles and 17 homers. He had just 33 walks, which has been a weakness during his career, with 161 total over seven seasons.
