The Rockies have claimed righty Gonzalez Germen off waivers from the Cubs, Colorado announced. Germen, 27, has bounced around quite a bit in recent months.
It seemed that Germen had found a home with the Cubs, but he’ll instead head once more to a new organization. Germen will pitch at Triple-A Albuquerque, per the report.
Germen coughed up five earned runs in his six innings of work this year for Chicago, picking up eight strikeouts against five walks. Over 33 1/3 Triple-A frames, he’s put up a better-looking 3.78 ERA with 7.3 K/9 and 4.6 BB/9.
Guy who gives up too many homers goes to Colorado… this should end well.
I’m more concerned about the walks than the homers. Homers don’t kill you in Denver because both teams get them, What kills you in Coors is free passes turning those solo homers into three-run homers or bases empty triples into 2 run triples.
Gonzalez Germen’s quest to be on all 30 MLB rosters in 2015 continues.
