Rangers To Sign Brett Tomko

By Zachary Links | February 19, 2011 at 1:15pm CDT

The Rangers have agreed to sign Brett Tomko to a minor league deal, a source tells Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com (via Twitter).  Tomko pitched just 62.2 innings last season in Oakland's farm system while rehabbing from a nerve problem in his pitching arm.

In 2009, Tomko posted a 3.77 ERA with 5.2 K/9 and 2.0 BB/9 in 57.1 innings for the Yankees and Athletics.  The right-hander worked out of the bullpen for the Bombers but made six starts for the A's.  Tomko, 37, owns a 3.77 ERA with 5.2 K/9 and 2.0 BB/9 for his career.

    He definitely does not have a 3.77 career ERA…

      It says he owns a 3.77 career ERA, it didn’t say it was his. He bought it on eBay.

      It’s 4.65. I thought that seemed awfully low too.

    Damn this would of solidified the rotation. If we signed tomko it wouldve made me forget about Andy. Rangers really know how to respond when losing an Ace. Sign Webb, his fastball tops out at 82 and tomko. Wait I forgot Texas has beltre who only has a monster year on his contract years and they disrespect a class act like young.

        I happen to be a “True Yankee Fan” from NY and I still have no idea what that guy is talking about…

      Awww poor baby. Should we call you a WAAAMBULANCE? Looks like the mighty New York Yankees got their ego hurt by the little team in Arlington.

    Tomko has collected more frequent flyer miles than anyone in baseball.

      Ron Villione also comes to mind.

        Good one. Twelve teams in fifteen seasons. Tomko has played for a mere nine teams in thirteen seasons!

    Still bitter about last year’s ALCS apparently. The Yankee schlubs run to a story about the Rangers to post faster than they do trying to get to the concession stands before beer sales end in the 7th inning at Yankee stadium.

    we should probably chill with all the Brandon Webb speculation, while interesting to ponder its uncertain how a star pitcher as Webb will respond to coming back to the game. While I don’t think he’ll return to his peak level of performance, I think he will be an extremely effective 3rd guy.
    As for Tomko, as an A’s fan he definitely didn’t have a lasting impact on the team. He did come through and make some starts when there was a bunch of injuries so I thank him for that an he wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
    Good spot on the ERA mistake. Haha 3.77 would be pretty surprising
