The Milwaukee Brewers claim Jeff Bianchi off waivers
The Brewers have claimed 25-year old righty swinging SS/2B Jeff Bianchi off waivers from the Cubs. Bianchi played in 119 games in AA-ball last year and he was 115 of 444 (.259 avg, .654 OPS) with 63 runs scored, 2 homers, 48 RBIs and 20 stolen bases. He has now played in 490 games in his first six years in the minors and he was 516 of 1,838 (.281 avg, .744 OPS) with 279 runs scored, 31 homers, 251 RBIs and 76 stolen bases. Bianchi will likely get a shot this spring to win a job on the Brewers’ bench.
