D'Backs agree to terms with P Saunders

Baseball Betting Lines

01/17/2012 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Arizona Diamondbacks agreed to terms with pitcher Joe Saunders on a one-year contract Tuesday.

The left-hander made a career-high 33 starts for Arizona last season, compiling a 12-13 record with a 3.69 earned run average.

His 12 wins combined with Ian Kennedy's 21, Daniel Hudson's 16 and Josh Collmenter's 10 to become the second quartet of pitchers in team history with at least 10 wins in the same season, joining 1999s Randy Johnson (17), Omar Daal (16), Andy Benes (13) and Armando Reynoso (10).

"Joe was an integral part of our success last season and will help stabilize the rotation next season," said Diamondbacks executive vice president and general manager Kevin Towers. "We're confident his veteran leadership, familiarity in the clubhouse and understanding of the culture we've built will help us continue working towards a championship."

A seven-year veteran with the Angels and Diamondbacks, Saunders has a career 69-52 record with a 4.16 ERA and six complete games, including two shutouts.
