The Wire Troll: Tyler Soderstrom Time

He’s piled up the runs and extra-base knocks while showing slightly better plate discipline than what he exhibited in his first taste of Triple-A last season.

Even if Fletcher’s ultimate ceiling is just a fourth outfielder in the bigs, he’s worth a short-term addition right now.
