Wednesday, November 14, 2007 (11/14/2007 04:25:00 PM) - Al The Brewers sign Randy Choate, a LH RP from the Arizona system, who was effective in AAA last year, and has had a strong winterball season thus far. Choate was added to the 40 man roster, which means he had many teams interested in him, as this is often used as a bargaining chip by the most coveted minor league free agents. He had a 4-1 K/BB ratio at AAA in '07, and a 12-1 K/BB ratio in the Dominican, so maybe he has figured out the control aspect that bedevils many southpaws. I would say this makes a deal with Ron Mahay or Jeremy Affeldt unlikely, but I guess that was true before the signing as well. Mitch Stetter has been very impressive in his September callup and AFL innings as well, so while unheralded, the Crew should be able to have a pair of lefties in the bullpen that are at least passable. 11/14/2007 04:25:00 PM |
