Tartans Acquire Big League DH Off Waivers


Remaining busy this off-season. The Tartans acquired a second DH from the Seattle Rainiers last night, this time for nothing in return. DH/C Kareem Sheldon was claimed off waivers and immediately had his contract arbitrated. Now an Atlanta Tartan, Sheldon will make $1,295,000 this season.


Last season Sheldon hit .313 with 12 HRs and 82 RBIs at AAA. He possesses good vision at the dish, with good pitch recognition from both lefties and righties. However, for a DH he lacks plus power and contract. But for a Tartans franchise with only 10 players on their Big League roster, "He will do," as put by team owner Randy Benoit.
