Very little MLB experience. 28 years old with 3 options remaining. I’m guessing will be given a chance to be a utility bench guy.

Who said Dewitt wouldn’t breakout the checkbook this year

Right handed batting version of Richie Palacios. Very unsurprising if we see him playing some CF in MLB this year.

Interesting pick up for a team that has made few moves this offseason. I kinda wonder what the scouts have seen and where he fits. Depth move in case of injuries?

Hmmm…Is he any relation to Harry?

I actually like this pickup quite a bit. The risk is essentially nothing as it was just a cash deal, but Helman provides the upside of a right handed hitting util who can play everywhere other than catcher. I could actually see him making the MLB roster out of Spring if he plays decently as our OF is lefty heavy and he could be the 4th OFer role, but also spend time in the infield.

Running short of 28 yr olds with options.

Boy, those guys really know how to make exciting moves!

He is going to be our league minimum version of Chris Taylor.

I’m guessing his nickname is mayonnaise

Mayo…The longer version’s too difficult to spell.
