2 More Pitchers Sign

Two more top pitchers have signed new free agent contracts.

Darrell Ingram has inked with Vancouver for 3 years, $5.6MM per. It appears that there was no competition for what many believed was the best pitcher, much less the best reliever, available this year. His ratings - 80's control and splits, with 2 devastating pitches - are certainly the envy of many. He's got 2 FOY's and 6 All-Star Games on the resume. This is a great pickup for the Renegades.

Columbus added RP Livan Olivares for 2 years, $7.8MM. Olivares has pinpoint control - only once has he walked more than 20 in a season. He's absolutely murder on lefties, good enough against righties, and his ratings have held up better than any 36-yo I've seen. His only real weakness is a tendency to miss high and give up homers, but it's not severe. Nice addition at a good price for the Discoverers.
