Mike Ashmore of the Hunterdon County Democrat tweets that John Halama has signed a minor league deal with the A's.
Halama, 38, signed a minor league deal with the Brewers this winter, but was released prior to Opening Day. From there, the journeyman southpaw returned to the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs of the Atlantic League where he had pitched in 2009.
Halama was 2-2 in six starts for the Blue Crabs this time around, posting a 1.62 ERA over 39 innings. He held opponents to a .201 average while striking out 22 versus just five walks. His control may have been a bit more erratic than it appears at first glance, however, as he also hit six batters.
I thought the Braves signed him last season?
If this guys still around why couldnt Jose Lima get an MLB job?
