The Brewers recently signed right-hander to a minor league contract. Hes in big league camp and made his spring debut yesterday, to sing a scorele s inning of relief with two strikeouts against Texas. Herget became a minor league free agent Stephen Drew Jersey at the start of last offseason. The 32-year-old had logged a career-high MLB workload with the Reds a season ago. He pitched in 14 games and to sed 24 1/3 innings of mostly low-leverage relief. He allowed 5.18 earned runs per nine with a well below-average 12.4% strikeout rate. Herget mi sed more bats at the Triple-A level, where he fanned 22.7% of opponents in 47 1/3 frames. His 5.13 ERA in the minors wasnt far off his big league work, largely on account of an elevated home runs rate (1.52 HR/9). A former 39th-round pick, Herget has spent a decade in profe sional baseball between five organizations. He first reached the majors two seasons back, making three appearances for the Rays. Herget has logged 31 1/3 innings of 5.74 ERA ball at the highest level. He owns a 4.25 mark over parts of six seasons at Triple-A. Herget brings plenty of upper minors experience to Milwaukee camp. Hes likely to start the year as a long relief depth option at Triple-A Nashville. He still has a pair of minor league options remaining, so the Brewers could freely move him between the majors and Nashville if they add him to the 40-man roster at any point. Ryan Zimmerman Jersey
