Signed away by the Twins, according to Rhett Bollnger of MLB.com.
[list][*]Looked 10 years older than his listed age, and impish.
[/*:m]
[*]Came up with a rep as the best defensive shortstop in the Mets' system (at the time, anyhow), but never much got a chance to put that on display, logging 50 defensive innings over two seasons.
[/*:m]
[*]Was reduced to mostly playing other infield positions at Vegas this season as the team tried to get as much work as possible there for Matt Reynolds.
[/*:m]
[*]Called up very late in the season in both 2013 and 2014 when the Mets found themselves short on infielders at the end of the season.
[list][*]In 2013, Ruben Tejada had broken a leg chasing a popup with about two weeks to go. [/*:m]
[*]In 2014, he had actually been sent home, but ended up getting recalled with a week to go when Dilson Herrera strained a quad. [/*:m]
[*]History could have given him an eleventh-hour trifecta with Ruben Tejada once again ending his season in a boot this year, but the team went for the super-green Matt Reynolds in the post-season, and out-righted poor Wilfredo instead. And thus he became a minor league freebie.[/*:m][/list:u][/*:m][/list:u]
