I like the signing. His contract is nonguaranteed. He has to a win a job in spring training.

Giants drafted Hensley in '02.
Dealt him to SD in '03 for Herges.
5.19 ERA for FLA last year after 2.16 the year before.

In 466 1/3 career innings with the Padres and Marlins, the right-hander has posted a 3.94 ERA and 1.35 WHIP, spending some of that time as a starter. His best season out of the bullpen came in 2010 with the Fish, when he posted a strong 9.24 K/9, 3.48 BB/9 and 53.4% GB rate.

For all you trivia buffs, Hensley served up Barry Bonds' 755th career homer, which tied the slugger with Hank Aaron.

His stats

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow, what a Ride!"

  - Yeah, and they could possibly use him in long relief. Could he be an emergency starter, do you think? - starburst 2012-01-27 07:56:37 (12 views)
