The San Francisco Giants sign Travis Blackley
The Giants have signed 29-year old lefty starter/reliever Travis Blackley to a minor league deal. Blackley didn’t pitch at all in 2011. He last pitched in the majors back in 2007 with the Giants. He has pitched in 8 games (all starts) in his first two years in the majors and he is 1-3 with a 9.35 ERA and a 2.08 WHIP. Blackley is going to be a big time longshot to make the Giants’ pitching staff this spring.
