A's sign Foulke

[Helton72]

A's agreed to terms with RHP Keith Foulke on a one-year, $750,000 contract.

Foulke signed on to serve as the Indians' closer last season, but then retired during spring training rather than pitch through elbow problems. He underwent surgery to remove a bone spur and is now interested in pitching again, although he'll likely have to work in middle relief with Huston Street entrenched as the closer. Foulke pitched for the A's in 2003, leading the league with 43 saves before leaving for Boston as a free agent, but at 35 years old may not have much left in the tank

If he can comeback, he'll be a nice addition to that bullpen.

Definitely. Hopefully He can step in as the set up man for Street and maybe allow Justin Duchscherer a chance at a rotation spot.

Nice job by Foulke the past two games against his former club. Maybe if he keeps it up the A's will be able to deal him at the deadline.

Unless they are in the race which I doubt that they will/
