2) The Rangers re-signed P Doug Brocail to a 1 year, $1 million contract. He would have become a free agent.

After missing 3 years due to injuries, Brocail had a 4.13 ERA/6 RSAA in 43 games. He has a 3.89 career ERA, compared to his league average of 4.43, and 34 RSAA in 381 games.

3) According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, there is speculation that the Braves are interested in Yankees P Kevin Brown.

4) The Reds re-signed P Josh Hall to a minor league contract and invited OF Kenny Kelly and P Jeriome Robertson to spring training, as nonroster invitees.

If you enjoy the ATM reports and want to support them, check out my other creation--the sabermetric baseball encyclopedia. Orders are now being taken for the next edition, which will include the 2004 stats and is currently shipping. It's powerful, yet extremely easy to use. Features extensive sorting, stat display options, and features that are not available in online and printed sources. The deluxe package has been greatly expanded, making it a much better bargain. For more information, see http://www.baseball-encyclopedia.com

According to Peter Gammons, "There is no greater baseball tool than Lee Sinins' Baseball Sabermetric Encyclopedia. Get thee to Baseball Immortals and order the disc, haste post haste." The product Jayson Stark called "the best invention since the toaster oven!" has gotten even more powerful.
