Orber Resigns

Thanks to GM for pointing at that Orber Moreno has resigned with the New York Mets.

The New York Mets announced today that they have signed righthanded pitcher Orber Moreno to a minor league contract and invited him to major league spring training camp.
Moreno, 26, went 3-1 with a 3.38 ERA in 33 games with the Mets last season. In 34.2 innings, he yielded 29 hits, 17 runs, 13 earned, with 11 walks and 29 strikeouts.

Orber was placed on the 15-Day Disabled List on July 25th and missed the remainder of the year with a strained right shoulder. Moreno underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder on October 21st.

Moreno retired 26 of 33 (79 percent) first batters he faced which was eighth among NL relievers who appeared in 30 or more games.


Some minor news, but some good news nonetheless.
