Thursday, December 21, 2006 D-Rays Add Some Pitching Depth
The Tampa Bay Devil Rays have agreed to terms with right-handed pitchers Gary Glover and
Al Reyes and outfielder Jason Grabowski on minor league contracts with invitations to major league spring training, it was announced today. Glover, 30, owns a career record of 21-18 and a 5.03 ERA in 149 games, 47 starts, over parts of six seasons with the Blue Jays, White Sox, Angels and Brewers. A graduate of DeLand High School in Florida, Glover last pitched in the majors in 2005 when he appeared in 15 games, making 11 starts, with Milwaukee (5-4, 5.57 ERA). He pitched last season for the Yomiuri Giants of Japan’s Central League. Reyes, 36, re-signs with Tampa Bay, the club that signed him as a free agent in March, 2006. He owns a 3.60 ERA in 297 career games over 11 seasons with the Brewers, Orioles, Dodgers, Pirates, Yankees and Cardinals holding opponents to a .215 batting average. He last pitched in the majors in 2005 with St. Louis going 4-2 and ranking among the National League’s top 10 relievers in ERA (2.15) and opponent’s average (.177). He tore his Ulnar Collateral Ligament in the season finale and missed the postseason and most of the 2006 season recovering from ‘Tommy John’ surgery. He returned to action last August appearing in two games with AAA Durham (3.0-IP, 3-H, 1-ER, 3-SO). Reyes was also a non-roster invite with the Rays in 2004. Grabowski, 29, has appeared in 190 career major league games over parts of three seasons with the Athletics and Dodgers. He has a career average of .196 with 11 home runs. His most extensive action came in 2004 with Los Angeles when he played in 113 contests and led all of baseball with 69 pinch-hit at-bats. He played last season with the Orix Buffaloes of Japan’s Pacific League. posted by Joe Hamrahi at 12:16 PM |
