Brewers sign Capellan for 2005
Lehr among four other players re-signed
MILWAUKEE -- In their first wave of routine signings, the Brewers on Tuesday
announced they had come to terms with five players, including newcomers Jose
Capellan and Justin Lehr.
Pitchers Capellan, Lehr, Jorge De La Rosa and Luis Pena and outfielder Corey
Hart all signed one-year contracts for 2005. The Brewers have reached
agreement with 18 of the 39 players on their 40-man roster.
Capellan, a hard-throwing starter acquired from Atlanta, and Lehr, a reliever
acquired from Oakland, will make their first appearances at Maryvale Baseball
Park when pitchers and catchers report Feb. 18. Capellan, 24, will join De La
Rosa, 23, in the group of young pitchers trying to win a spot in the starting
rotation.
"At the back end of the rotation, you probably want a young guy who you're
looking at for the future," Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said earlier
this winter.
If Capellan needs more grooming, the Brewers could send him to Triple-A
Nashville to stay on a regular rotation. De La Rosa is out of minor league
options, so the Brewers would have to send him to the bullpen or risk losing
him on the waiver wire. He made his Major League debut with Milwaukee last
season and went 0-3 with a 6.35 ERA in five starts.
Lehr, 27, will fit into the late relief mix after splitting last season
between Triple-A Sacramento and Oakland. He notched 13 saves in the minors
and went 1-1 with a 5.27 ERA in 27 appearances with the A's.
Pena, 21, spent 2004 at Class A Beloit and finished 9-3 with a 3.92 ERA in 21
appearances, 16 starts. He was originally signed by the Brewers as a
non-drafted free agent on July 12, 1999.
The 23-year-old Hart could compete for a roster spot as a backup outfielder.
He played mostly at Triple-A Indianapolis last season, hitting .282 with 15
home runs and 67 RBIs and earning the club's MVP Award. He appeared in one
game for the Brewers after infielder Wes Helms went down with a knee injury
in May.
