Jan. 19 8:32 AM PT9:32 AM MT10:32 AM CT11:32 AM ET4:32 PM GMT12:32 AM 北京时间-The Detroit Tigers have filled their hole at closer, agreeing to terms with Valverde on a two-year contract with a club option for a third. The club announced the deal Tuesday but didn't disclose Valverde's salary. A person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press last week that Valverde and the Tigers had reached a preliminary agreement on a $14 million, two-year contract with a $9 million option for 2012.
Analysis: Valverde saved 25 games in 29 chances for the Astros last year before filing for free agency. The 30-year-old right-hander was 4-2 with a 2.33 ERA. Valverde led the NL in saves with Arizona in 2007 and Houston in 2008. Detroit needed a closer after choosing not to re-sign Fernando Rodney and Brandon Lyon.
Aug. 28 12:12 PM PT1:12 PM MT2:12 PM CT3:12 PM ET8:12 PM GMT4:12 AM 北京时间-Valverde pitched a season-high two scoreless innings to earn the victory in Thursday's 4-3 win in St. Louis.
Analysis: Valverde (2-2, 2.20 ERA) extended his streak of scoreless innings to 10. He has converted 13 straight saves since July 9 and is 2-0 with a 0.77 ERA in that time.
Jun. 13 3:48 PM PT4:48 PM MT5:48 PM CT6:48 PM ET11:48 PM GMT7:48 AM 北京时间-The Astros have activated Valverde from the 15-day disabled list in time for Saturday's game at Arizona.
Analysis: Valverde, out since April 26 with a strained right calf, was available to pitch Saturday. But manager Cecil Cooper said he planned to use Valverde once in a non-save situation before putting him back in the closer spot.
Apr. 26 10:45 PM PT11:45 PM MT12:45 AM CT1:45 AM ET6:45 AM GMT2:45 PM 北京时间-Valverde, who injured his leg Tuesday, should be available by the weekend.
Analysis: Valverde said he felt much better on Thursday and is eager to play again.
Apr. 18 12:21 PM PT1:21 PM MT2:21 PM CT3:21 PM ET8:21 PM GMT4:21 AM 北京时间-Valverde, who missed Thursday's game with a back strain, walked Edwin Encarnacion with one out before Ramon Hernandez hit his first homer in Houston's 2-1 loss to the Reds. It was Valverde’s first blown save of the year.
Analysis: "Everything is fine, I am OK," Valverde said. "The guy just hit a home run. What else am I going to do? It was a fastball and I threw my best pitch to this guy, and he hit it. Tomorrow is a new day. I had a little bit of a back, but not too much, just a little bit."
