Pirates Sign Juan Cruz
By Tim Dierkes [February 1, 2012 at 12:38pm CST]
The Pirates signed reliever Juan Cruz to a minor league deal with
a spring training invite, the team announced.
Cruz, 33, posted a 3.88 ERA, 8.5 K/9, 5.2 BB/9, 0.92 HR/9, and 35.2%
groundball rate for the Rays last year in 48 2/3 innings. Cruz missed
time in July with a groin strain, and his average fastball velocity
dipped below 93 miles per hour for the first time in his career.
Pirates GM Neal Huntington may be hoping Cruz can match the contribution
of another wild right-handed Praver/Shapiro client he signed to a minor
league deal a year ago. Jose Veras gave the Bucs 71 innings of 3.80 ball
in 2011 for a total of $1.35MM, and was traded to the Brewers for Casey
McGehee after the season.
Cruz will compete for a bullpen job with other non-roster invitees
such as Michael Crotta, Ryota Igarashi, Logan Kensing, Shairon Martis,
Jo-Jo Reyes, Doug Slaten, and Tim Wood.
