Padres Sign Chris Snelling

This from MLB's Corey Brock, Towers has signed outfielder Chris Snelling to a minor league contract.

The guy is made of glass, but he was (and still is) a fan favorite on Mariner blogs who called him Doyle (his middle name, apparently speaking his normal name breaks random bones on his body).

My reactions:

1. He absolutely raked for the Aussie's in the WBC, and I personally feel like he's worth a shot. If only in a late inning pinch hitting role against righties. And hell, if he doesn't make the team I'll get to watch him play in Portland.

2. Towers again signed a guy with decent upside but huge risk of injury. Do we get to see Pedro in the rotation this year? Are there any more injury prone players to be signed and who?

3. If we do keep signing these guys, we're going to need to hire more trainers.
