Sunday, December 24, 2006 Brewers Sign Suppan
The Milwaukee Brewers today announced that the Club has agreed to terms with free agent pitcher Jeff Suppan, MVP of the 2006 National League Championship Series. The agreement, which is pending a physical, is for four years with a Club option for an additional season.
“With 44 wins in the last three seasons, Jeff is not only a proven winner, he is also one of the most durable pitchers in baseball,” said Brewers Executive Vice President and General Manager Doug Melvin. “This agreement makes us feel very good about the depth of our rotation. Jeff's experience and durability should have a positive influence on our entire pitching staff.” Suppan, 31, went 12-7 with a 4.12 ERA in 32 starts for the World Champion Cardinals last season, including 6-2 with a 2.39 ERA in 15 starts after the All-Star Break. Suppan was named Most Valuable Player of the National League Championship Series as he went 1-0 with a 0.60 ERA in two starts against the New York Mets (15ip, 1er). He was the starting pitcher in the decisive Game Seven, tossing 7.0 innings, allowing just one run and no hits after the first inning of play. For his career, Suppan is 5-2 with a 3.00 ERA in nine postseason outings. posted by Joe Hamrahi at 4:13 PM |
