Arizona Diamondbacks sign Oswaldo Arcia

Left-handed batter Oswaldo Arcia appeared in the majors for a slew of different teams in 2016. He started off with the Twins, the team who signed him as an amateur free agent in 2007, and was dealt to the Rays in June, for a player (still) to be named. Then, in August, he was picked up on waivers twice in the same week, first by Tampa’s Florida siblings in Miami, and then from the Marlins by the Padres. San Diego then released him last month, making the Diamondbacks his fifth organization of the year.

Arcia’s problem is obvious. Since making his major-league debut in 2013, he has a K-rate of 31.5%. That ranks him 8th among the 297 batters who have had 1000+ PA in the majors over that time.…
