Pirates and Correia have reportedly agreed to 2yr/$4M contract. The 7 year veteran, former SF Giant and SD Padre, Correia hasn’t spent any significant time on the DL in his career (unable to find any record actually). 2009 he signed a 1yr/750K deal with the Padres and once again in 2010 he signed a 1yr/3.6M deal, where he became the staff ace.
Kevin Correia: Career Stats 36-40, 4.41 ERA, 529 K; 2010 145.1 IP in 28 games, 4.57 ERA.
- This, being the Pirates first multi year deal of a free agent Pitcher, in years, seems to be a very good pick up. The last two seasons, winning at least 10 games, has been very productive as a starting pitcher. Spending his first few years, with San Fransisco, as a reliever, he eventually got put into a starting rotation, proving himself worthy and was quickly signed by San Diego. If he can remain, basically, injury free, he will provide, much needed boost, the starting rotation needs.
