The St. Louis Cardinals sign Scott Linebrink
The Cardinals have signed 35-year old righty reliever Scott Linebrink to a minor league deal. Linebrink pitched in 64 games (0 starts) for the Braves last year and he was 4-4 with 1 save, a 3.64 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. He has now pitched in 607 games (6 starts) in his first 12 years in the majors and he is 42-31 with 8 saves, a 3.51 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. Linebrink will have a really good shot of winning a bullpen job this spring.
