Jose Contreras joins the Phillies in a one-year deal
by Scott Butler 1/28/10
The Phillies officially added another piece to the bullpen puzzle by signing Jose Contreras to a one-year, $1.5 million contract. The 38-year-old right-hander has been a starter throughout his career, but pitched 5 games in relief when he was traded to Colorado in the middle of last season.
"Jose is a versatile pitcher who will likely get stretched out in Spring Training as a starter, but our scouts feel he is best suited for a significant role in the bullpen," Ruben Amaro said in a statement.
In his seven-year career, Contreras is 71-63 with a 4.61 ERA. He has a 4.63 ERA in 175 starts and a 3.90 ERA in 16 relief appearances.
