Elmer Dessens' minor league deal with the Giants fell through and the Giants agreed to a minor league deal with Brian Lawrence, according to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle (Twitter links). Lawrence, who last pitched in the majors in 2007, will report to minor league camp.
Many apologies to those of you who went out and bought Dessens jerseys. I'm not sure if you can return those things.
According to Henry Schulman, Elmer Dessens won't be in camp, because his minor league deal fell through. It looks like the LOL LOL LOL LOL ELMER DESSENS! era has ended before it even started.
The Giants signed reliever Elmer Dessens to a minor-league contract, Dessens' agent toldFernando Ballesteros at Puro Beísbol (link in Spanish).
Honestly, I wasn't even going to post this, as I figured anyone who cared very much at all about a random 40-yr old relief pitcher getting signed to a minor league contract would find this themselves.
Then I looked at Dessens' baseball reference page...and my head exploded.
3.1 K/9, 3.1 BB/9, and a .8 HR/9 makes for..a 2.30 ERA in 47 innings.
/cue exploding head/
For comparison's sake...
Robb Nen's 2002: 9.9 K/9, 2.4 BB/9, .2 HR/9, 2.20 ERA.
