Extra Base Hit: In case you missed it

The Angels signed P Joel Pineiro to a 2-year / $16M contract.  After losing John Lackey to the Red Sox, the Angels knew they had to replace him in the rotation with a veteran type presence.  The projected rotation now consists of:

Jered Weaver: 16-8, 3.75 ERA (remains the ace)

Joel Pineiro: 15-12, 3.48 ERA (with STL)

Joe Saunders: 16-7, 4.60 ERA

Scott Kazmir: 2-2, 1.73 ERA (in 6 starts with LAA)

Ervin Santana: 8-8, 5.03 ERA

The Brewers decided to bring back P Doug Davis on a 1-year contract worth over $4M with incentives added.  Davis pitched for the Brewers from 2004-06 and went 34-34 in 103 starts.  Each of the seasons for Milwaukee Davis compiled over 200 innings, a big reason why the Brewers have said they regret ever trading him to the D'Backs.

The Brewers projected rotation now looks like this:

Yovani Gallardo: 13-12, 3.73 ERA (if he stays healthy is one of the best)

Randy Wolf: 11-7, 3.23 ERA (for the LAD)

Doug Davis: 9-14, 4.12 ERA (for ARI, kept the team in game almost all of the starts)

Jeff Suppan: 7-12, 5.29 ERA

David Bush: 5-9, 6.38 ERA / Manny Parra: 11-11, 6.36 ERA (could be another pitcher signed for this spot by the start of spring)
