The Marlins have signed third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff and pitcher Jordan Smith to minor league deals with invites to Spring Training.Kouzmanoff hit .276 in 355 Triple-A plate appearances in 2012, and hasn't made a big league appearances since 2011. Smith posted a 4.76 ERA in 56 2/3 Triple-A innings in the Reds' organization in 2012.
Analysis: Both signings are just depth moves. Kouzmanoff looked very promising when he first came up, but I suppose injury problems have pretty much thrown his career off track. Smith had a good 2010 season, and could be a weapon if Miami fixes him up.
