Lawrence Lands a Job
The Colorado Rockies signed Brian Lawrence to a one-year contract:
Lawrence, who did not pitch last season due to surgery to repair his labrum and rotator cuff, also had drawn strong interest from the Mariners, with the Pirates and Padres also involved in the bidding.
Lawrence's strength as a pitcher is his control. He's never struck out that many batters. However, he does have a history of giving up the long ball, which won't go over well in Coors.
