And Jesse Hahn has a UCL sprai By Max Rieper Mar 6, 2018, 3:46pm EST The Royals have signed outfielder Jon Jay to a one-year deal. The 32-year old left-handed hitter batted .296/.374/.375 in 433 plate appearances for the Cubs last year, and was a 1.6 WAR player, according to Fangraphs. He has had an eight-year Major League career with the Cardinals, Padres, and Cubs, batting .288/.355/.383. According to a source, Jon Jay will earn $3M base salary with a chance to make an additional $1.5M in incentives based on plate appearances starting at 250. The Royals plan to give Jay a chance to play every day, which was a deciding factor for him in signing with KC. Jay was the last Major League centerfielder available in free agency. He signed a one-year deal with the Cubs last year, earning $8 million. Jay had an average walk rate last year at 8.5%, with a better-than-average strikeout rate of 18.5%. He has very little power, reaching double-digits in home runs just once in his career, and isn’t much of a basestealing threat. His defense in centerfield has been declining the last few seasons, but he is still a capable defender. To make room for Jay on the 40-man roster, the Royals placed pitcher Jesse Hahn on the 60-day disabled list with an ulner collateral ligament sprain. That injury is typically associated with Tommy John surgery. Hahn had Tommy John surgery as a junior at Virginia Tech University. The Royals acquired Hahn in January from the Oakland Athletics with pitcher Heath Fillmyer in exchange for Brandon Moss and Ryan Buchter. Jon Jay will likely lead off and be your every-day centerfielder, pushing Paulo Orlando to a reserve role. It is just a one-year deal, so it remains to be seen if this will block Bubba Starling, who has struggled in his minor league career so far (edit: Bubba Starling has an oblique injury, according to Rustin Dodd). Dayton Moore has spoken recently about the need to add a left-handed bat, and with no clear favorite for the centerfield job, this move makes a bit of sense. Hey, there’s no such thing as a bad one-year deal. But what is the point of adding these veterans? Will it help the long-term success of this team? 1年約簽下江姊，3M(+1.5M) 另外Jesse Hahn去蹲60天DL了@@ -- ╭◢ ◣════════ ███◣ ═══════ ◢ ◣════════╮ ║█▌ █ ４０ ▁Kc 火 ◥█ １７ Kc╴ 沉 █▌ █５６聖光守護 ║ ║█▌ █ ▇ξ 球 ▇φ 默 █▌ █ ▁Kc ║ ║████ ● ′ ρ護 ◢█ ● ╯ 刺 ████ ● ‧ ￣ξσ╱║ ║█▌ █errera 「 / 衛 ███◤avis /\ 客 █▌ █olland╰ ﹂＜ ║ ╰◥◤ ═════ ▆▆▆ ═══════ ▆▆▆═══ ◥◤ ═════ ▆▆▆═╯ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 114.36.132.107 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Royals/M.1520379028.A.4C9.html
