WINNIPEG — Goldeyes manager Rick Forney has signed infielder Tyler Kuhn to a contract for the 2014 season.
Kuhn, 27, played 111 games last season at the Class AA and Class AAA levels.
In 61 games in the Colorado Rockies system with Class AA Tulsa of the Texas League, he hit .233 with a home run and 22 RBI.
He started the year in the Arizona Diamondbacks system and batted .244 with a home run and 11 RBI in 50 games with Class AAA Reno of the Pacific Coast League.
He was in spring training with the Rockies earlier this month.
“We’re thrilled to have another experienced player added to our team and another left-handed bat,” Forney said. “He’s a career .295 hitter that has a lot of doubles and stolen bases. He has a lot of versatility to play multiple positions on the field, which certainly is attractive to us.”
Kuhn has played both corner outfield positions, second and third base and shortstop during his career.
After being drafted in the 15th round of the 2008 MLB amateur draft by the White Sox, Kuhn played five seasons in their system.
The Goldeyes now have 24 players signed for the 2014 season, including 12 pitchers and 12 position players.
