Not what you thought though.
There you go.Aquino was a league average reliever not too long ago. Last season played out much like 2007 though, with most of the season spent in Triple-A, and a handful of innings in the majors. Aquino didn't show his groundball inducing skills last season, but encouragingly did get a good percentage of swinging strikes in Norfolk, 14.3%. One of Mark Shapiro's weaknesses has been bullpen building, not alliteration, so if nothing else, this is a nice depth signing for 'Bus. Best case he turns in 20-25 innings of league average work in response to an injury.
Typical Mark Shapiro move.. I guess more details when someone out there reports this..
Baseball America is fine.. but, yeah.
Greg Aquino has pitched for Arizona, Milwaukee and last year with Baltimore. He pitched in just nine games last year. Injuries, Minor Leagues, yay.
Who knows.. He turned in 30 plus innings, for Arizona three straight years.
From that same article.. Preston Larrison has signed with the Nationals.

I am a die hard Brewer fan and was happy to see Aquino move on to Baltimore. He will stay in the minors all season and then choke when the Indians expand rosters or run into injuries.
Great to know he sucks then.. With our youngsters in the pen that are on the 40 man, Miller, Mastny (if he sticks), Stevens, Sipp, and Meloan. I'd smack someone if Aquino even sniffed the Active roster..
Thanks for chiming in Bryan.
