Just a day after the news first broke that Mike Hampton had set himself back at least two months, the Braves agreed to terms with 2006 All-Star starter Mark Re
dman, signing him to a minor league deal. Don't get too excited about the All-Star part, he went 11-10 with a 5.71 ERA for the Royals last season so making it was merely a formality. This may not be too bad though. Between Cormier and Redman, we should be able to find some quality starts and in 2003 he did post a 3.59 ERA in 190 innings on route to a World Series ring for the Marlins. A switch to the NL should help although he is going into the toughest hitting divisions, but if he can keep his ERA under 4 we should be fine. The contract will pay him $750,000 if he is on the major league roster, and he can earn an extra $500,000 in start-based incentives. Redman is slated to throw 3 innings tomorrow versus the Blue Jays.
