M’s Sign Bladergroen

Jack Zduriencik has brought in his second player as Seattle GM, inking independent leaguer Ian Bladergroen to a minor league deal.
This is a nice little pickup. Bladergroen used to be a top-5 prospect in the New York Mets organization before being dealt to Boston in 2005. He’s a left-handed hitting first baseman with legitimate pop and good plate discipline to boot. Bladergroen probably qualifies as AA roster filler, but could be a nice surprise if he can stay healthy.
Full stats here. Larry LaRue with the news.
