Infielder added

The Wild Things signed one player over the weekend, a shortstop named Matt Ford. I believe this is a player from Hofstra University -- the same school that produced Danny Poma -- who played last season as an undrafted rookie with the Tamp Bay Rays' affiliate in the rookie level-Gulf Coast League.

Ford was a two-time (2012 and 2014) Colonial Athletic Association Defensive Player of the Year playing both second base and shortstop. He was a career .314 hitter at Hofstra but batted only .218 in 48 games in affiliated ball. One thing Ford has going for him is he's classified as a Rookie-2.
