Orioles' Sean Coyle: Inks minor league deal with Orioles

Coyle signed a minor league contract with the Orioles on Tuesday, Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.

The 24-year-old hasn't hit much over the past two seasons (sub-.200 batting average between Triple-A and Double-A) and struck out over 30 percent of the time in 2016, but his true calling card is his defensive utility. Coyle's ability to play second base, third base, and the outfield paired with his ability to take walks could help him stick around in the organization, although his fantasy stock will remain pretty low until he starts making more contact.
