On Monday night, the San Francisco Giants made a move to bolster their bullpen by signing veteran left-hander Jerry Blevins to a minor league contract.
Blevins adds some left-handed depth to a bullpen that really only had Tony Watson as a proven southpaw option after Will Smith signed with the Atlanta Braves in free agency.
Last season with the Braves, Blevins posted a 3.90 ERA with an impressive 10.3 K/9 in 32.1 innings, albeit with a troubling 4.5 BB/9 walk rate that was consistent with his two previous seasons as a member of the New York Mets.
