The Cubs signed Heller to a minor-league contract Monday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Scouting Report
Has pretty decent size (6-3, 205 pounds) and the ability to close out games at the minor-league level. His strikeout rate at lower levels is also a great plus. Lacks consistency on the mound (he can be a bit too hittable at times, and he can also walk a few too many batters). Does not have ideal stamina.
Long Range Potential: Decent right-hander.
