Brewers Sign David Riske
It's official: the Brewers have signed 31 year-old reliever David Riske to a three year, $13MM deal. Incentives based on closing could bring the total to $20MM, and there's a 2011 option at $4.75MM.
This is the going rate for a guy like Riske. He wasn't particularly popular when the 2006 season ended, but had a well-timed fine year in '07. I don't hate the deal, but it certainly lacks creativity.

If the Royals didn't push too hard to resign him you kind of have to wonder about his future.

I love seeing the Brewers spending to try and act like they might have a decent bullpen. Mark my words...it will be the fall of the team next year.

Aduncaroo: What are you talking about. The Crew paid the going rate for a solid reliever. They need pitching as does everyone, but with the loss of Cordero this was a great pickup. Any arm the Brewers get to help the team win is a good arm.

Riske's wife is from KC. Apparently he had interest in staying, but it must not have been much. Ican't believe the Royals would rather have Mahay at 3 years than Riske.
