    4-4, 4.77 ERA in AA last year. 66 Ks in 54.2 IP, and a 1.41 WHIP. So I guess that’s something.

    So, we only protected one of our Rule 5 eligibles and we’re giving the 40 man slots to unemployed AA guys? Good grief.

    I actually like this pick up. He has the bullpen slider and a good enough fastball. He slots in well with the Loutos, Walsh, Pacheco bunch as an arm that could potentially take a spot on the roster or add depth. Who knows if Walsh will be healthy.

    I agree ZTR … my gut reaction was a Maikel Cleto-type signing. We must have someone in this system that thinks
    they can turn Guillermo around. Thanks for the insight Brian.

    Now I am a bit worried about the Front Office approach this off-season. Have they underestimated what is going to cost to add needed pieces? Is this signing a signal that they cannot “fit” veteran bull pen arms into their 2023 Budget?

    I imagine they gave him a mlb deal to keep him from being taken in R5 draft rather than the idea that he will stick with the team. He still has options.

    Apparently this guy has lots of potential and his agent is a great salesman…I saw him pitch 4-5 times last year.

    All they would have had to do is wait 24 hours longer to sign him and Rule 5 wouldn’t have mattered. It will be over for another year in about three hours from now. I don’t think that was it.
