Vinnie Chulk has elected free agency. |
The 33-year-old pitched well at Triple-A this year but posted a 10.00 ERA in seven appearances with the Brewers. Needless to say, he won't exactly be a hot commodity this winter. |

Brewers designated RHP Vinnie Chulk for assignment. |
Chulk, 33, made seven relief appearances with the Brewers, but struggled with command issues and seems likely to go through waivers unclaimed. The Brewers purchased the contract of Juan Perez in a corresponding move. |

Mon Jun 27 2011 | 10:16 | Chulk can opt out of contract on Friday |
Vinnie Chulk can opt out of his contract with the A's on Friday if not promoted to the majors. |
Chulk, 32, is sporting a cool 2.75 ERA and 30/13 K/BB ratio in 39 1/3 innings this season at Triple-A Sacramento and seems likely to seek a big league gig elsewhere if Oakland does not offer him one. The right-handed reliever hasn't pitched in a major league game since 2009, when he was with the Indians. |

Wed Dec 15 2010 | 15:13 | A's ink Vinnie Chulk to minor league deal |
A's signed RHP Vinnie Chulk to a minor league contract. |
Chulk posted a 4.96 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 10.5 K/9 rate at Triple-A Indianapolis in the Pirates organization in 2010 before being sold to the Hiroshima Toyo Carps in Japan at midseason. He didn't fare well overseas, posting a 5.79 ERA over 18 2/3 innings. Chulk has a 4.33 ERA and 1.39 WHIP over 276 1/3 career major league innings and will compete for a bullpen spot in spring training. |
Thu Jul 22 2010 | 21:18 | Vinnie Chulk, Hayden Penn headed to Japan |
The Pirates have sold the rights to right-hander Vinnie Chulk to the Hiroshima Toyo Carps in Japan. |
Pirates pitcher Hayden Penn is also headed overseas. Chulk, 31, had a 4.33 ERA over 252 major league innings and should do a little better in Japan. He'll also get paid significantly more. |

Sun Jul 18 2010 | 13:43 | Chulk headed for Japan? |
Vinnie Chulk is working out a deal with a Japanese team. |
He joins Hayden Penn, who is also a Pirates' farmhand that's reportedly all set to head to Japan. The 31-year-old Chulk holds a career 4.33 ERA over 252 major league relief appearances. You can't blame the guy for taking what's likely to be a much bigger paycheck overseas. |
