A little pricey but since Crain is familiar with the division, it might pay off. Crain is definitely a solid setup man and hopefully its for Sale. I really liked watching him pitch. Crain will be 29 and has a career 32% Inherited Score percentage.MLB.com's Peter Gammons reports that the White Sox have reached a three-year, $13 million deal with free agent reliever Jesse Crain.
This may be the winter of the setup man. Scott Downs got a three-year, $15 million contract from the Angels just a short time ago and Joaquin Benoit landed three years and $16.5 million at the start of the hot stove season. Crain had a solid 2010, registering a smooth 3.04 ERA along with a 62/27 K/BB ratio for the Twins. He may get a chance at saving games in Chicago.
