Did you know . . . Brendan Donnelly Edition

All I knew about Donnelly when we signed him was that he had once pitched for the Angels. So I did a little homework and these were my findings:

**Donnelly was mentioned in the Mitchell Report for his communication with Kirk Radomski about a steriod called Anavar.

**Donnelly and Jose Guillen (Royals OF) hate each other. Read about that here.

**Donnelly throws predominantly fastballs and sliders, occasionally mixing in a slider, split finger, or cut fastball.

**Donnelly's career GB/FB ratio is .80 (35.2% of batted balls were grounders, 44.1% of batted balls were fly balls).

**Donnelly has averaged 1 HR given up for every 11 2/3 innings pitched over his career.

**Donnelly pitched 1 scoreless inning in the 2003 All Star Game.

**Donnelly has pitched 20 innings in the postseason, all with the Angels, with a 4.95 postseason ERA.

**Donnelly's 2009 projections:

PECOTA: IP: 37 ERA: 4.05
CHONE: IP: 26 ERA: 4.15
Marcel: IP: 34 ERA: 4.76
