Lindgren is another lefty pitching acquisition for Rick Hahn, and this time it comes with little risk and a lot of possible reward. After Lindgren was taken in the second round of the 2014 draft by the New York Yankees, he started his meteoric rise to the majors, making it all the way to AA in his draft year. In 2015, Lindgren started the year in AAA, and even made seven appearances in the majors.
