Juan Rincon Signed

I hate to spam like this, but just wanted to say that the Rockies signed Jaun Rincon. The link is to the transaction page at MLB.com. He might be a OK reliever this year, but his stuff isn't that great.

So we signed him as a FA?

What happened with Detroit? Release? When? Can this guy help us?

I on't know if he can help us yet

but, i think he will pitch from the pen a little. He might be worth the gamble

I see he was DFA and cleared waivers then refused an assignment to Toledo.

So who will we release to make room for him?

Check his s

This guy came out of the Mexican League. He is a 5’10 lefty. Are we serious?

Rincon is pretty awful

Good catch with the article, but this is just another Joel Peralta/Randy Flores type move

Matt Murton status: Freed
Garrett Atkins status: Not Traded
Clint Hurdle status: Still Employed by the Rockies

Who was the guy the Rockies saigned last year and then trade to the Orioles for a sub-par prospect?

And coudl we do this with Rincon?

Are you talking about the Juan Castro for Mike McCoy trade?

That’s the only one I remember with the Orioles last season.

Castro is shortstop right?

I have had to watch

Juan Rincon pitch for the Twins who are on FSN here all the time, I didn’t think he was very good with then and he hasnt been able to stick to an MLB roster recently.

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour - this greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle, victorious." - Vince Lombardi
