The Colorado Rockies have signed 25-year old righty reliever/starter Brett Jacobson to a minor league deal. He pitched in 18 games (6 starts) in AA-ball for the Minnesota Twins this year and he was 0-3 with a 7.50 ERA and a 2.12 WHIP. He has given up 44 hits and walked 45 hitters in only 42 innings this year while whiffing 25 batters….and those are not very impressive numbers. He has now pitched in 153 games (19 starts) in his first five years in the minors and he is 17-17 with 9 saves, a 4.17 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP.
