Rudy Jaramillo looking forward to reviving Carlos Pena with Chicago Cubs

Passing up several multi-year deals, Carlos Pena chose one year (and a cool $10 million) to sign with the Chicago Cubs — partially because old friend Rudy Jaramillo is around as hitting coach to help fix his swing.

The feeling is mutual. Only a couple of hours after he talked with Pena soon after the latter’s signing was announced Wednesday, Jaramillo outlined how he’ll try to boost Pena from his career-low .196 average in 2011.
