Brewers signed RHP Luther Hackman to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.

Hackman, who last pitched in the majors in 2003,, was picked up by the Brewers last August and assigned to Double-A Huntsville, where he went 3-0 with a 0.66 ERA in eight relief outings. He'll likely be a part of the bullpen at Triple-A Nashville.

Yeah his odds are not very good but he has been effective in the past and there is usually a couple of surprise stories out of spring training.

Luther Hackman's performance in the Mexican Pacific League playoffs shouldn't be surprising, considering his wealth of experience.

The 32-year-old right-hander has pitched in more than 400 games since being drafted in 1994. He owns a 52-70 Minor League record and is 9-10 with four Major League teams.

I remember Hackman from his days with the Cardinals. He actually wasn't all that bad and IIRC he even started a few games for us. His claim to fame is that he was traded to the Cardinals in the Darryl Kile deal from Colorado.
