Bueno good enough for Grizzlies
Jan. 6, 2000

DENVER - The Denver Grizzlies announced the signing of relief pitcher Jesus Bueno yesterday. The 37-year-old righty, who entered the league with Denver in 1989, will make $2.5 million next year. The deal also includes a team option for the 2001 season.

Bueno is coming off of a bit of an off year, where he posted a 4.33 earned run average and allowed over one and a half baserunners per inning. However, he is just a year removed from a stellar campaign in which he posted a 1.92 ERA and held opponents to a .190 batting average. Bueno is expected to fill a middle-innings relief role with the Grizzlies.

Around the League
Outfielder Shawn Lauton is excited to be a very rich man after signing a five-year, $105 million deal with the Las Vegas Aces recently. Said Lauton, "This is what I've been working for my entire career. I can't wait to show the Aces' front office that their investment was worthwhile." ... Shortstop Kenneth Howard will bring his prima donna act to Los Angeles after signing a two-year deal that, after a player option for 2002, could earn him $63.4 million.
