Jays Sign Maroth

The Blue Jays and Mike Maroth have agreed to a minor league deal, SI.com is reporting. Maroth is recovering from shoulder surgery, and will probably have to prove himself in Triple-A before getting a chance to pitch in the MLB again. He has a career 5.05 ERA, but the Blue Jays have had success working with correcting pitchers poor tendencies, so there is still a possibility he could be a decent back end starter or reliever. He'll probably be a non-issue in 2009.
