The Milwaukee Brewers signed right-handed pitcher Jose Capellan to a one-year contract, the club announced Wednesday. During his second season in the Brewers bullpen in 2006, Capellan compiled a 4.40 ERA and a 4-2 record, fanning 58 batters in 71.2 innings.
Milwaukee also inked outfielder Drew Anderson, after his rookie season with the Brew Crew. His major league experience includes striking out 4 times, hitting a single and walking once.
Switch-hitting second baseman Hernan Iribarren was also given a chance at the big league level. In 108 games with Single-A affiliate Brevard County, whose mascot is a manatee, (seriously) Iribarren batted .319 with 50 RBIs.
Righty Mike Jones and lefty Manny Parra were also given contracts.
