The Colorado Rockies sign Alan Embree
The Rockies have signed 38-year old lefty reliever Alan Embree to a 1-year contract with a option for 2010. Embree pitched in 70 games (0 starts) for the A’s last season and he was 2-5 with a 4.96 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP. He has now pitched in 846 games (4 starts) in his major league career and he is 37-43 with 25 saves, a 4.55 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP. This was a good move for the Rockies who needed a lefty out of the bullpen.
