Speigner opts for minor league deal with M's
Levale Speigner - R - Seattle Mariners
Feb. 9, 2010 - 6:55 PM ET
Mariners signed RHP Levale Speigner to a minor league contract.
Remember in June 2007 when the Nationals acquired Speigner from the Twins for outfielder Darnell McDonald? No? Don't worry, there won't be a quiz. Speigner, a former Rule 5 pick of Washington's, posted a ghastly 9.19 ERA in 48 innings for the Nats between 2007-2008. He's been much better in the minors -- with a career 3.37 ERA in seven seasons -- and will provide Seattle's Triple-A affiliate with another arm.
