Ryan Vogelsong, Giants agree
Associated Press Updated: January 23, 2015, 5:56 PM ET
SAN FRANCISCO -- Free agent right-hander Ryan Vogelsong reached agreement
Friday on a $4 million, one-year deal to stay with the San Francisco Giants.
Vogelsong passed a physical and reached the deal three days after general
manager Brian Sabean said Vogelsong was close to joining another team --
thought to be the Houston Astros.
Vogelsong went 8-13 with a 4.00 ERA in 32 starts last season. The 37-year-old
adds depth to a rotation that features ace Madison Bumgarner, Jake Peavy, Tim
Hudson, Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain, who is working back from elbow surgery that
ended his season in July. Vogelsong would likely start until Cain returns, and
manager Bruce Bochy has said two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Lincecum will
begin the year in the rotation. Bochy prefers right-hander Yusmeiro Petit as a
swing man out ofthe bullpen who can go long in relief.
While the Giants pursued Jon Lester, they never expected to land a top-tier
starter in free agency. Instead, they re-signed Peavy and Vogelsong and built
around a talented pitching staff. San Francsico replaced departed third baseman
Pablo Sandoval by acquiring Casey McGehee from Miami. New left fielder Nori
Aoki was added this week on a $4.7 million, one-year contract.
Vogelsong has spent the past four seasons with San Francisco, winning World
Series titles in 2012 and '14. He made four postseason appearances last fall
but didn't have a decision.
In December 2013, Vogelsong signed a $5 million, one-year contract a month
after the club didn't exercise a $6.5 million option. That followed an
injury-shortened 2013 season in which he went 4-6 with a 5.73 ERA in 19 starts
and 103 2/3 innings.He broke two bones in the right pinkie area of his pitching
hand and also dislocated a knuckle on a swing May 20, 2013, and underwent
surgery the next day. He had five pins inserted in his hand.
Vogelsong won 13 in 2011 and 14 the following year. He became one of baseball's
feel-good comeback stories in 2011, when he made the All-Star team after
joining the Giants' rotation first as a fill in for the injured Barry Zito.
Vogelsong had toiled through three seasons in Japan before Triple-A stints in
2010 for Philadelphia and the Los Angeles Angels. In the Bay Area with the team
that originally drafted him in the fifth round in 1998, Vogelsong became a
front-line starter at last.
Invited to spring training in 2011 on a minor league deal, he went on to win
the team's "Willie Mac" Award -- named for Hall of Famer Willie McCovey and is
voted on by players, coaches and training staff for the most inspirational
Giants player on the field and in the clubhouse. Vogelsong set a career high
for wins while going 13-7 with a 2.71 ERA in 30 games and 28 starts.
He then received an $8.3 million, two-year contract in January 2012.
Vogelsong won three games during the 2012 postseason for the eventual World
Series champion Giants, including one during a 4-0 sweep of the Tigers for the
team's second championship in three years.
