The Texas Rangers sign Dave Bush
The Rangers have signed 31-year old righty starting pitcher Dave Bush to a minor league deal. Bush pitched in 32 games (31 starts) for the Brewers last season and he was 8-13 with a 4.54 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP. He had his troubles last season as he gave up 198 hits (28 of which were homers) in 174 1/3 innings last season so he got hit pretty hard. But, Bush has good stuff and I think he will have a really good shot of winning a job in the Rangers’ starting rotation this spring. Bush has now pitched in 193 games (184 starts) in his first 7 years in the majors and he is 56-68 with a 4.66 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. I like this signing for the Rangers as Bush is a decent pitcher and he came at a bargain price.
