Rockies Give Herges Minor Chance

Matt Herges agreed to a minor league contract Monday with the Colorado Rockies, along with an invitation to their spring training camp.

If the 36-year-old righty makes it onto the 40-man roster, he will get a $600,000, one-year contract and the chance to earn $150,000 in performance bonuses.

Once a closer for the San Francisco Giants, Herges has a 32-29 record and a 3.89 ERA over an eight-year career with the Dodgers, Expos, Padres, Diamondbacks, Giants and Florida Marlins, where he went 2-3 with a 4.31 ERA in 66 relief appearances last season.

You all are way too witty with your titles. I need to take notes on how to be this amusing. :-)

Too bad his name is pronounced Her-jess instead of Her-jeez. It would make for some amazingly humorous STD jokes.
