Tomo Ohka Sighting

[love_that_reefer]

Indians signed RHP Tomo Ohka to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
Once an underrated mid-rotation starter, Ohka will be 33 years old in March and spent last season going 5-11 with a 4.18 ERA at Triple-A. He's highly unlikely to crack the rotation, but could secure a job as a long reliever.

The Indians better get used to these kind of deals thanks to the economy, especially in Ohio. They will have to be very tight with their money this year so expect a lot of one year and minor league deals.

This is almost riskless. If he has anything left, he comes to the bigs really cheap. If not, he is a roster filler in AAA, or below.
