2 years 4.5m. He's a RHP.

Ryan Webb

I don't hate this move. Are we also interested in Josh Johnson ?

[Guest]

Yeah what's new a cheap move. Only 3 more players till that 10m is spent.

No he signed already.

[Bazooka Jones]

He meant Jim Johnson...

Good add to the bullpen here. Was fairly effective against both right-handers (.244/.297/.384/.681) and left-handers (.244/.324/.390/.714). Probably a good 7th inning guy who struggled in high leverage situations last year (.361/.405/.542/.947). Good ground ball guy who put up a 1.72 GO/AO ratio. I like this addition to the bullpen.

They just think they got a cheaper version......

I like the Ryan Webb move. Should be someone we can sit down if he stinks.

At 2.25 a good value as well.

No reason for this kind of post in this thread really. He looks like a solid add to the bullpen. If you plan to rag on every move that isn't worth $10 million a year or more from here on out you will get repetitive and borderline trolling.

I have a feeling that they are going to sign somebody of worth . I'm not sure why!

[clapdiddy]

I like this move. Reasonable price.

[Saintbird]

Hopefully he can build on some of the success he had last season. Most importantly, I'm glad that we're not completely asleep at the wheel.

DD said he was going to sign a RHP and DH.

So this must be the RHP.
