Glendon Rusch. (AP)Continuing to address their need for left-handed relievers, the Rockies on Thursday signed Glendon Rusch to a one-year, $750,000 minor-league deal today.
Rusch made it clear he wanted to return to Colorado after enjoying a positive experience last season. He worked as both a starter and reliever, a versatility that led the Rockies to bring him back.
He will be used as a swingman, someone capable of pitching in the bullpen or rotation. He joins Alan Embree as the second left-handed reliever to sign with Colorado this winter.
Rusch will have to make the team in Spring Training for his contract to be guaranteed.

A herd of buffalo can move only as fast as the slowest buffalo. When the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
