[情報] Pirates Designate Wandy Rodriguez For
The Pirates announced that they have re-instated Russell Martin from the
15-day disabled list and designated left-hander Wandy Rodriguez for
assignment.
The DFA marks a somewhat surprising end to what has been an injury-riddled
Pirates tenure for Rodriguez. Acquired from the Astros in 2012 (in exchange
for Colton Cain, Rudy Owens and Robbie Grossman), Rodriguez totaled just 164
1/3 innings in parts of three seasons with Pittsburgh.
Rodriguez was healthy and effective for the Bucs after the acquisition in
2012, pitching to a 3.72 ERA in 75 innings. However, a forearm strain limited
him to just 62 2/3 innings last season, and right knee inflammation cost him
three weeks earlier this season. Still, with the exception of 2014, the
veteran southpaw has pitched well when healthy.
This season, he’s registered a 6.75 ERA with a 20-to-8 K/BB ratio and a
whopping 10 homers in 26 2/3 innings. Never one to throw particularly hard,
Rodriguez’s average fastball velocity is a career-worst 88.3 mph this
season. Still, given his $13MM salary ($5.5MM of which is being paid by
Houston) and the fact that the Pirates have previously bought low on pitchers
with potentially fluky homer-to-flyball ratios (A.J. Burnett, Mark Melancon
and, to a lesser extent, Francisco Liriano), it’s a bit surprising that
Rodriguez was the odd man out.
Pittsburgh will have 10 days to trade, outright or release Rodriguez, though
his salary and recent injury problems make it highly unlikely that someone
would claim him on waivers. A trade is unlikely for the same reason, unless
the Pirates were to kick in some cash. Rodriguez is earning $13MM in 2014 —
$5.5MM of which is being covered by the Astros. In other words, with more
than a quarter of the season gone, Pittsburgh is eating roughly $5.33MM worth
of salary, which is a sizable chunk of its $72MM Opening Day payroll.
為了清楚空間給R.Martin從傷兵名單回來
DFA了霸主...
是說也不知道當初交換的那些人現在如何...
