Outfielder added

The Wild Things picked up an outfielder Friday, acquiring Lyndon Poole from Abilene of the North American League for a player to be named.

Poole (6-1, 190) is a 25-year-old right-handed hitter. He is from Riverside, Calif., and played at Palomar College, a junior college in California's San Diego County. He was signed as an undrafted player by the Los Angeles Dodgers and and spent three years in rookie ball, with the exception of one game for Class AAA Las Vegas. He went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in that game.

Poole played the 2009 and 2010 season in independent ball, including 40 games over two seasons with Schaumburg, which played in the Northern League.

A career .208 hitter, Poole did not play professionally last year.

A 25 y/o player that did not play last year and has a .208 lifetime batting avg? Sounds like another simply great prospect. There must be hundreds of teams wanting this guy. He's probably just trade bait.
Wonder how long it took the WT to get this guy's signature!
Chris Sidick must be somewhere laughing his head off.

Wow-a 200 hitter.
Is this the best player available?
Looks like a long losing season.

I have no idea what the Wild Things are thinking. It does show that if they expect this young man to produce any offence at all, it also shows there is no pitching in the Frontier League.
