News: The Orioles signed pitcher Nick Bierbrodt to a minor league contract on Thursday, as reported by FOXSports.com. Bierbrodt pitched for Arizona, Tampa Bay, Cleveland and Texas between 2001 and 2004, but struggled to get his career going after suffering gunshot wounds to the arm and chest in an incident back in 2002. He pitched in the Rockies' organization last season, posting a 6.57 ERA in 37 innings split between Double-A and Triple-A.
Analysis: Bierbrodt's story is inspiring, but he still has to be considered a long shot to make the Orioles' bullpen. He can be ignored in Fantasy on Draft Day.
