Thus far, the meetings have produced just 2 minor league signings, and a very somber attitude towards the Mariners. The 2 signings, for Matt Hauge and John Andreoli, provide some veteran AAA depth for the team.
Of the 2, Andreoli is the most intriguing, slashing a decent .244/.348/.435 with 14 home runs and 26 stolen bases. Andreoli has excellent plate discipline, posting a career 11.2 BB% in the minors. Jason Churchill of Prospect Insider and Hero Sports had this to say:
Now 27, 17th rdr in 2011 out of UCONN, CF chops, plus runner, 50 arm, 45 power, righty stick.
