RHP Evan Meek, who did not pitch after Aug. 11 because of a strained muscle in his ribcage, has been cleared by doctors to begin throwing. He is expected to be 100 percent when spring training begins. The hard-throwing Meek said he is working out diligently this offseason in an effort to crack 100 mph with his fastball in 2010. Meek was 1-1 with a 3.45 ERA in 41 relief appearances this year.
