Tigers sign Joel Zumaya, avoid arbitration

The Detroit Tigers today agreed to terms on a contract for the 2010 season with right-handed pitcher Joel Zumaya, thus avoiding arbitration.

Terms were not immediately disclosed.

Zumaya, who was not a free agent, compiled a 3-3 record, 4.94 ERA, one save and 30 strikeouts in 29 appearances for the Tigers last season.

In four seasons at the major league level, he is 11-11 with a 3.15 ERA, four saves and 176 strikeouts.

The Tigers now have 14 players on the club’s 40-man roster under contract for the 2010 season.

Thanks to Ghh.

Does this mean 2/3 of the players on the Tigers' 40-man roster currently have no contract for 2010????

Probably. Most of them are likely at the automatic renewal phase of their careers, and I don't think the deadline for renewing those types of players has passed.

Of course, I could be completely wrong.
