Now that's one I'd like to see us sign.

Only if it's a minor league contract. But yeah, a typical Duquette-like signing.

I'd be ok with him being on the 40 man roster.

[Dark Helmet]

Don't see anything special. But only going by stats.

[brianod]

what are his physical attributes? Big guy, fast guy? Strong arm? Good range? Seems like a fluff piece to me.

During that same stretch, his flyball rate was a respectable 44.1% in the minors, with an 8.4% IFFB-rate. If Sands could convert half of those infield flies into line drives (20.6 LD% in Triple-A last year), perhaps with a swing adjustment, he'd have a batted ball make up similar to Chris Davis. That's a big if, though. His outfield flyball rate dropped 12.1% at Triple-A last season.

I wouldn't mind him on the 40-man at this point. He could be dropped if needed.

Beware PCL stats. Notice how his stats weren't as good in the IL.

He did have a decent second season...looked like he was used less frequently (maybe he played against more LHP?) this season.

Again...no harm if he were picked up.

I do not disagree. I do know he can hit the ball a long way.

There are multiple links in this thread that give information about him, as well as Google.
