TORONTO -- The Blue Jays continued to add pitching depth on Saturday, acquiring left-hander Dana Eveland from the A's in exchange for cash considerations.
Last season with Oakland, the 26-year-old Eveland appeared in 13 games, including nine starts. He spent the majority of the season with Triple-A Sacramento, where he went 8-6 with a 4.94 ERA over 21 starts.
With the A's, Eveland went 2-4 with a 7.16 ERA over 44 innings. In 2008, Eveland went 9-9 with a 4.34 ERA over 29 starts for Oakland, finishing with 118 strikeouts and 77 walks over 168 innings. Eveland has also had stints in the Majors with the Brewers (2005-06) and the D-backs (2007).
Overall, Eveland has gone 13-17 with a 5.54 ERA over 83 games, including 44 starts, in his time in the big leagues.
Eveland provides the Blue Jays with another experienced arm to throw into the mix during Spring Training. After trading ace Roy Halladay in December, Toronto was left with a relatively young and inexperienced rotation, making pitching depth an offseason priority for the ballclub.
