Padres sign Brocail to one-year deal
12/15/2005
SAN DIEGO -- Doug Brocail began his professional baseball career with the Padres, and now he has come full-circle.
The 38-year-old veteran reliever agreed to terms on Thursday with the Padres on a one-year, $1 million contract. The right-hander will join the mix of middle relievers when the club heads to Arizona for Spring Training.
Brocail went 5-3 with a 5.52 ERA with one save in 61 games for the Rangers in 2005, his second season with Texas. His 61 appearances tied for the second-highest total of his career and ranked third on the Rangers.
Brocail was the Padres' first-round pick (12th overall) in the supplemental January segment of the 1986 First-Year Player Draft. After his Major League debut in 1992, Brocail went 4-13 with a 4.86 ERA (86 ER/159.1 IP) in 39 games (27 starts) covering three seasons with the Padres. He was traded to Houston in the 12-player megadeal that brought Steve Finley and Ken Caminiti to the Padres prior to the 1995 season.
Over parts of 11 Major League seasons with the Padres, Astros (1995-96), Tigers (1997-2000) and Rangers (2004-05), Brocail has a career record of 37-40 with a 4.06 ERA (311 ER/688.2 IP) with seven saves in 442 games (42 starts).
In a separate move, the Padres sent right-handed pitcher Clay Hamilton to the Pirates as the player to be named later to complete the trade for infielder Bobby Hill.
