More Signings: McCrory, Vechionacci, Sikorski, Graman

by Patrick Newman (Dec 27, 2010)

A couple more signings to pass along tonight. All source content is in Japanese.

  • The Chiba Lotte Marines have announced the signing of Orioles farmhand Bob McCrory. McCrory is expected to help fill the void left by departing closer Hiroyuki Kobayashi. He was quoted as saying, "for my style, I feel that I'm the type that attacks batters with a fastball and a good sinker. I will do my best to show all the Marines fans my best performance." McCrory has done a good job limiting home runs in the minors, which backs up his climb of having a good sinker.
  • The ink is dry on Marcos Vechionacci's ikusei deal with Hanshin. Vechionacci gets a 6m yen signing bonus, a 4m yen salary, and number 128.
  • Seibu is bringing both Brian Sikorski and Alex Graman back for 2011. Sikorski gets 90m yen for 2011, while Graman will be paid 50m yen.
