MLB signings updated
There were several more signings to report.
40-year old veteran Tom Glavine has re-signed with the New York Mets, citing his like for the organozation and his strong family commitments. Glavine controls the plate as well as any pitcher in the league. Glanvine's change-up has proven to be fearsome for opposing hitters. He's very determine on the mound and is a fighter who won't give in with an easy pitch with three balls on the hitter. The two-time Cy Young winner doesn't have an overpowering fastball and sometimes it gets up over the plate, which can spell trouble. He does suffer the occasional lapse in control. At least until June, Glavine will be the staff ace while Pedro Martinez recovers from rotator cuff surgery.
Ray Durham has re-signed with the San Francisco Giants. The switching-hitting Durham has improved rom the right side of the plate, thus making opposing managers less likely to bring in a lefthander to face him late in games. Speed remains his biggest weapon. Although he works the count from both sides of the plate, he strikes out far too much. Tat's not the way to take advantage of your speed. Defensively, tends to fall into nasty spells. He'll be good at protecting the heavy hitters in the Giants line-up.
The Cleveland Indians signed a pair of relievers. Lefty specialist Aaron Fultzsigned a one-year deal with the Indians. Fultz has the velocity and movement on his fastball to be able to overpower hitters. He also has enough control to work inside to right-handed batters. He's often used for more than an inning, but shouldn't be. Right-handed hitters paste him. Look for him to come in to face the oppositions lefties.
Roberto Hernandez also signed with the Indians. Though he's aging, Hernandez' biggest asset remains a fastball that at one time had so much power behind it that it occasionally looked like his arm was powered by NASA. His phenomenol heat sets up a shocking splitter. He's a little streaky and tends to peak during the hot summer months, Problems arise hen he struggles with his control and his slider doesn't slide.
Finally, speedster Dave Roberts has inked a deal with the San Francisco Giants. Roberts is a speedster who can get on base and make things happen. He's an excellent bunter. Has a reputation for hitting poorly against lefties, so he rarely faces them. His bat isn't consistent enough. Look for Roberts to lead-off in the Giants' line-up.
