The Texas Rangers sign Kevin Pucetas
The Rangers have signed 28-year old righty starter/reliever Kevin Pucetas to a minor league deal. He pitched in 29 games (13 starts) in AA+AAA-ball for the Nationals last year and he was 8-6 with a 3.70 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP. Pucetas has now pitched in 182 games (141 starts) in his first seven years in the minors and he is 61-32 with 2 saves, a 3.89 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP. Pucetas will get a shot to win a job in the Rangers’ pen this spring, but he will be a longshot.
