Old Foulke's Home
Keith Foulke signed a major league contract with the Athletics. He'll be a setup man:
"I never considered myself a closer, I've always been a bullpen guy," he said. "Sometimes pitching in the seventh inning is more valuable than pitching in the ninth."
He's only getting $700,000, so it's a good risk for Oakland.
I dunno - he hasn't been healthy for 4 years - in '05 he couldn't throw hard enough to fool anyone with his changeup - I don't think he's picked up any speed since
