Hall was the last free agent that I was after. He is a switch-hitter, adding some more variety to the outfield mix. I would not say he is a starter outright. He is more of the long half of a weirdly misshapen platoon with Wilson Rodriguez, with Jimmy Wallace probably going to do a lot of shifting between either corner outfield spot. It’s okay – Wallace was not likely to win a Gold Glove anyway…

What else? Billy Brotman signed a $310k deal with the Crusaders; Danny Arguello got on board with the Cyclones for $340k;
