Finally some rotation depth acquired. Pitched to the tune of a 3.80 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 32 games (9 starts) with Texas last year.
Not able to confirm or deny that his name translates to "Joe Urine."
Talkin' about Jose Ureña as a depth piece

Doesn't seem like much, But Jeremy Hafner and the pitching lab will make me eat those words!

Ur-en-a real heap of trouble if you're signing this fella.

Why not? It's a minor league contract, so no risk here. And if he provides any help at all, it's a good move. The more depth the better. And who knows, maybe he'll pitch 50 or more halfway decent innings.

Before last year:
39-69 W-L, 4.89 ERA, 84 ERA+, 1.7 WAR...in nine seasons.
Might as well just re-sign (the ghost of) Jose Lima or Brian Lawrence.

When it comes to pitching, Stearns appears to prefer quantity of arms over quality of arms.

I'm picturing Stearns ranting "I knew not to spend any money on pitching!"

Why would David Stearns rant?
