Mark Hendrickson

The Orioles have officially signed LHP Mark Hendrickson.  They inked a one year deal worth $1.2 million, which also includes a $1.2 million option for the 2011 season.

Last season in review for Hendrickson:

As a starter, Mark was 6-5 with a 4.37 ERA in 11 starts.  In relief, where he was much more effective doing middle relief work, Hendrickson posted a solid 3.44 ERA in 53 innings pitched.


This is a signing that MacPhail saw as necessary this offseason.  Although the bullpen will be much more bolstered this year using possibly Koji Uehara, David Hernandez, Jason Berken, or a mix of those 3 doing relief work for the O's, Hendrickson brings a very strong left handed pitcher into the mix.  For a more extended outlook on the bullpen situation now, check out this article: Look towards the bottom of the article for the bullpen situation/scenarios
