Red Sox To Sign Aaron Cook

The Red Sox have agreed to terms with right-hander Aaron Cook on a minor
league contract, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com.

Cook, 33 next month, has spent his entire Major League career to date with
the Rockies, posting a 4.53 ERA in 1,312 1/3 innings over parts of 10
seasons. His best work came during a four-year stretch from 2006-09, when he
averaged 187 innings per season and recorded a 4.11 ERA. At his peak in 2008,
Cook was worth as many as 4.7 wins above replacement, according to Fangraphs.

The groundballer (57.4% career rate) battled injuries each of the past three
seasons, however, with his 97 innings in 2011 marking his fewest since 2005.
With Cook falling short of expecations the past couple seasons, the Rockies
unsurprisingly declined his $11MM 2012 option in October, making him a free
agent for the first time.

With the Red Sox, Cook will compete for a rotation spot, according to
Rosenthal. If he's healthy and inducing wormburners, he could prove to be a
valuable, low-cost addition for the Sox. MLBTR's Tim Dierkes included Cook
among such candidates in a post last week.
