From Baseball America
San Francisco Giants
Signed: RHP Santiago Casilla, RHP Mike MacDonald, RHP Osiris Matos (re-signed), C Todd Jennings (re-signed), OF Breland Brown
Released: RHP Javier Hernandez, C Josh Emmerick
Reinstated from inactive list: C Josh Emmerick
Emmerick spent the past three seasons on the retired list. In the case of Brown, a product of Northeast Mississippi CC, he spent three games in the Frontier League and another 13 in the Can-Am League last season.
Also, looks like Mr. Baseball is back. Cubbies signed Scott McClain
The 37-year-old McClain embarks on his second go-round with the Cubs as returns from his second tour of duty in Japan. Last year (after being released from his Giants contract), he batted .244/.319/.423 for Hiroshima of the Central League, while popping 18 home runs in 114 games. He bashed 71 homers in four years with Seibu from 2001-04. A prolific slugger here in the U.S., McClain has clubbed 292 home runs in 16 seasons.

What year was it?
That this guy was unhittable or like had some scoreless innings streak? I’m trying to find it in his career stats but his ERA is high every year.
he had long streaks in both 07 and 08.
to start the season in 08 he didn’t give up a run between March 26th to May 10th. in 07 he gave up 3er between June 3rd and July 21st.
good signing IMO.
