Aaron Brooks - Invited to camp by Cardinals Brooks joined the Cardinals as a non-roster invitee Monday. Impact The 31-year-old righty owns a poor 6.49 ERA in 170.2 career major-league innings. He hasn't missed nearly enough bats, striking out just 16.1 percent of opposing batters. Brooks spent the last two seasons pitching for the Kia Tigers in Korea, where his 2.79 ERA in 36 starts suggests he may have figured something out. His strikeout rate remained a fairly modest 20.1 percent against lesser competition overseas, however, so he may still lack the ability to put big-league hitters away.
