Orioles signed LHP Mark Hendrickson to a one-year, $1.2 million contract with a $1.2 million team option for 2011.
The Orioles can buy out the option for $200,000, so Hendrickson is guaranteed $1.4 million. The 35-year-old left-hander was 6-5 with a 4.37 ERA in 53 games (11 starts) last season, but posted a 3.44 ERA and 37/14 K/BB in 55 innings out of the bullpen. He'll continue to be the team's swingman this season.
