Pirates Acquire Joe Blanton By Steve Adams [July 29, 2015 at 11:42pm CDT] The Pirates announced that they’ve acquired right-hander Joe Blanton from the Royals in exchange for cash considerations. Blanton had been designated for assignment by the Royals earlier this week despite generally solid numbers, and he’ll join the Pirates’ roster tomorrow. Blanton made a nice comeback to the Majors this season after spending the 2014 season away from the game. He’s pitched quite well overall for the Royals, working to a 3.89 ERA with 8.6 K/9, 1.5 BB/9 and a 48.4 percent ground-ball rate in 41 2/3 innings split between the rotation and the bullpen. Blanton’s 90.8 mph average fastball is the fastest of his career, though one can imagine that’s partly attributable to the fact that 11 of his 15 appearances have come in a relief role. The veteran Blanton seems likely to be asked to help the Pirates in a relief capacity, but he could also emerge as an option at the back end of their rotation eventually. Gerrit Cole, A.J. Burnett and Francisco Liriano have all turned in excellent seasons thus far, but each of Jeff Locke, Vance Worley and Charlie Morton has posted an ERA above 4.00. 從皇家拿錢換來新同學Blanton 應該是要拿他塞牛棚但也會看Locke Worley Morton狀況適時的補上先發 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 163.27.88.89 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Pirates/M.1438245328.A.265.html
