Reasons to like the Travis Snider signing.
1. This is a low risk minor league deal.
2. In 2014, Travis Snider in 322 at bats, hit .264 and 13 HR for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
3. Will be 28 years old this season and has 54 career home runs.
4. It is one more minor league outfield option to combine with right handed hitting Brett Eibner, Jose Martinez, Bubba Starling, Terrance Gore, Jorge Boifacio, and left handed hitting Reymond Fuentes. Let the best player play.
Negatives to the signing.
1. Career slashline of .244/.311/.399
2. Always lots of hope for him as a 1st round draft pick and a top prospect for the Toronto Blue Jays but it has never really developed.
3. Left handed hitter but has a career average of .243 VS RHP and .247 VS LHP. His home runs do come off of RHP with 46 to 8 coming from LHP.
