Bob Howry Signs With Arizona Diamondbacks
An article by Former Writers
The Arizona Diamondbacks have come to terms with reliever, Bob Howry, reports Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic [Hat tip MLB Trade Rumors].
Terms of the deal are not immediately available, however it includes an option for the 2011 season and is rumored to be worth somewhere in the ball park of $2 million to $3 million.
Last season with the San Francisco Giants, the Arizona native appeared in 63 games and pitched to an ERA of 3.39. His K:BB ratio was 2:1 (46:23).
Throughout his eleven year career, Howry has an ERA of 3.66.
This is a pretty solid signing for the D’Backs in my opinion as it gives them a viable setup man to help strengthen a bullpen that includes ex-Met Aaron Heilman and Chad Qualls.
Although the Mets were never publicly connected to Howry, I think that these are the types of players they should be targeting. Although Howry’s numbers are not earth shattering he is a very consistent pitcher.

We are signing all these old, injured or japanese guys for the bullpen while all the solid relievers all get scooped up. Howry joins Duscherer, Darren Oliver, Matt Capps, Mike Gonzalez, Etc.
I disagree, Bob Howry has a very bad tendency to be hittable when called upon in crucial situations. He’s one of those guys whose numbers are deceiving.
This is a great sports blog you have here man. It’s a very good read. I have a sports blog myself but I specifically cover the New York Giants. I’ve been a fan all my life and it’s great writing about them. I would like to exchange links with you to help spread some traffic around. It can’t hurt us, it’s a win/win on both sides.
Please let me know if this is possible. Take care and keep up the good work.
