Awwwww yeah, Walt with the big free agency splashes.
I wonder if this means Beau Mills will be staying in Pensacola this upcoming season.

Michael Steven Hessman (born March 5, 1978, in Fountain Valley, California) is a first baseman who is currently a free agent. The currently active leader in career minor league home runs with 359 as of August 20, 2012, including 249 at the AAA level, Hessman is often referred to admiringly as a real life Crash Davis.[1]
How does this affect Neftali Soto?
Hessman is a third baseman, and a surprisingly good one for his size, if I remember correctly. But I see he is listed as 1B and Smith a 3B. One possibility would be Hessman as a DH at AAA, another would be for Smith to go to AA, or Hessman could be released if they don't like what they see in ST.
Any guesses on how long it'll be until the Reds sign Bryan Anderson?
