Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Old Hickory
- The Red Sox announced the signing of a one-year, $2.8 million contract with Mike Timlin today, meaning the typically steady-handed Timlin will once again be one of the mainstays of the Sox bullpen. Timlin's 2006 performance, like everyone else's, was haunted by injury to his right shoulder. He posted a 4.36 ERA through 64.0 IP, his lowest inning total since 1999, when he was in Baltimore. As always, it's not the ERA that's the problem, as his K/9, OBA and FB% really took a turn for the worse. Still, this is a good signing by the Sox, in my humble opinion. If healthy, Timlin has proven that he's relatively reliable, and his demeanor has certainly earned the respect and support of Sox fans. Given the way bullpen signings have backfired on Theo in recent years, the fact that Timlin is as close to a known commodity is about as comforting a scenario as you can get. Welcome back, Mike.
