The Colorado Rockies sign John Maine

The Rockies have signed 29-year old righty starting pitcher John Maine to a minor league deal. Maine pitched in 9 games (all starts) for the Mets last season and he was 1-3 with a 6.13 ERA and a 1.82 WHIP. He has now pitched in 108 games (105 starts) in his first 7 years in the majors and he is 41-36 with a 4.35 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. This was a good low risk/high reward signing for the Rockies because if Maine is healthy, he will be an asset to the Rockies at the back end of the starting rotation.
