Jays fans are being forced to dream on the additions of Darwin Barney and Rule 5 selection Joe Biagini after a quiet week at the Winter Meetings in Nashville. Biagini isn’t a name that comes with much wow-factor given that he was a late-round college selection who’s never made a prominent appearance on a Giants top prospect list, but like any newcomer to the organization, he’s worth getting to know.
A 26th rounder in 2011 out of UC Davis, Biagini got his start in the Northwest League before spending the latter half of 2012 and all of 2013 with the Single-A Augusta GreenJackets of the South Atlantic League.
