Seems like a good addition.

I guess it's not a bad signing but he's 33 and been cut by a couple teams now. Not really sure what he brings other than minor league depth.

He brings a good arm & some MLB experience & success (not sure the amount of success guarantees anything, but...). Given that 5 BP guys (regulars & candidates) are on the DL, bringing in a serviceable, experienced stopgap is a logical move.

 

I don't necessarily like the move, but I sure don't dislike it. I do like element of a known quantity that he brings vs. the variable that Cravy is right now. Plus, after going 0-8 or whatever last year, it doesn't hurt Cravy to go to AAA and build up his game again all the more. If he's a bona fide MLB pitcher, that'll bear itself out over time and it's not worth sacrificing the long term for the short term.
