Nate Orf was the definition of a minor league veteran. Since being signed by the Brewers as an undrafted free agent in 2013, Orf had spent the majority of his professional career in the minors. He did manage to reach the majors for 21 games, getting a cup of coffee with Milwaukee and the Oakland A’s, but he was essentially a minor league depth piece.
