Welcome to the Blue, Henry Ramos!


This is just one of those depth signings the Dodgers are wont to do.  And why not, right?  It worked well for us this past season, and I think it's fair to say that if not for the foresight of the front office to pack the minors with a bunch of maybes we probably wouldn't have made the playoffs.  That's not to say that this newest addition to the Dodgers farm is destined to have the same impact as an Andrew Toles, but this kid certainly has a lot of promise.

Per a tweet by Chris Cotillo of SBNation, we find out that the Dodgers have signed minor league free agent Henry Ramos:
Exact details of the signing are scarce at the moment, so stay tuned for that.  In the meantime, here is what we know about him.
