Brewers signed RHP Jorge Julio, who had been with the Braves, to a one-year contract.
Julio had to settle for a minor league deal last year after a nice 2007 with the Rockies. He made the Indians out of spring training, but struggled and got cut. He didn't resurface until September, when he allowed one run in 12 1/3 innings for the Braves. That was enough to get him a major league deal this time around. It's probably not worth much more than $1 million, so it's a decent enough signing. Julio is a tough guy to trust when the game is on the line, but he's a perfectly adequate middle reliever.
