http://tinyurl.com/39dfndj CHICAGO -- The White Sox and left-handed reliever Will Ohman have agreed to a two-year, $4 million deal, pending a physical, as confirmed to MLB.com on Saturday by a source close to the situation. The team has yet to comment. Ohman, 33, fills the need of a left-hander sought out by the White Sox to complete their bullpen changeover, possibly being used in a situational role or in the middle innings. That 2011 changeover includes the addition of fellow free agent Jesse Crain and the departure of Bobby Jenks, Scott Linebrink and J.J. Putz. This addition of Ohman sets up White Sox relievers extremely well against a team with significant left-handed punch, such as the defending American League Central champion Twins, featuring Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau and Jason Kubel, with Ohman joining fellow southpaws Matt Thornton and Chris Sale. But general manager Ken Williams told MLB.com in September that Sale would prepare as a starter during Spring Training and could temporarily take Jake Peavy's spot in the rotation while the right-hander works his way back from a season-ending detached latissimus dorsi in his right posterior shoulder. Although White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper prefers to have Sale stick with one job and not spend only one month in the rotation, Sale still will be stretched out as a starter in Arizona. With Ohman being added, the club also has the flexibility to move one of its starters via a trade to open up a spot for Sale and also free up money to possibly pursue free-agent closer Rafael Soriano. During eight seasons covering stops with five teams, Ohman has produced a 4.09 ERA with 269 strikeouts over 273 innings. He split the 2010 campaign between the Orioles and Marlins, posting a 3.21 ERA over 68 games. The most important career statistics for Ohman stand as his .208 batting average against and 1.20 WHIP when facing left-handed hitters. Ohman also has an understanding of pitching in Chicago, having worked his first five seasons for the Cubs. The Baltimore Sun was the first to report the White Sox interest in Ohman. ========================================================================== Unfinished business: Remaining Team Needs http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/12/roundup-remaining-team-needs.html Unfinished business文中提到季前須加強部分尚有swingman or reliever，若無意外，禮拜一體檢通過後，將以4M/2yrs從所謂three AL finalists脫穎而出，簽下33歲左手牛Will Ohman。薪資總額接近$130M，意味Rafael Soriano這條線可以放了，一來省掉Boras client & Type A free agent麻煩，再者除非Reinsdorf佛心大開，否則在PV 狀況未明下，交易sp(例如:E-Jax $8.35M)可能性微乎其微。 Peavy insurance- 外電下了這麼個註解。新球季Sale怎麼用? 儘管KW設定PV歸隊前由他暫代5th starter，之後視情況回牛棚，但Cooper傾向要先發就給他先發一整年，總之目前共識為春訓擔任sp，往後依PV背闊肌復原狀況，當然你無法保證 Sale和Santos 不會重蹈去年Bacon覆轍。至於新同學Ohman，以下簡介： http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/o/ohmanwi01.shtml 1、職業生涯從未拿到超過$1.6M薪資，也沒有複數年合約前例。原先希望價碼至少$1.5M，最終$4M/2yrs。 2、生涯vs左打者打擊率.208。去年vs左打者.229遠優於vs右打者.288。 3、'98年第8輪進小熊，North Side效力八年的他對於South Side應該不陌生。 4、去年有Randy Williams、Erick Threets和後來的Sale分擔Thornton工作量，可惜Threets肘傷加傷痛史，季末遭釋出，感謝上季完美的12.1IP。經驗豐富的Ohman加入後，也讓Sale調度空間更具彈性。 5、'09肩傷進DL，出賽降至21場。'08和'10有不錯球季，生涯在美聯僅出賽51場，皆是去年在金鶯的紀錄。 6、目前較確定的牛棚名單： Tony Pena R Chris Sale L Sergio Santos R Will Ohman L Jesse Crain R Matt Thornton L 加上五位先發投手：Buehrle、Danks、Peavy、Jackson、Floyd。投手補強大抵完成了? 7、針對前陣子巴比和Ozzie兒子Oney的twitter風波，Thornton也火了。 "Crossing a pretty big line"，那一家子真的該好自為之... http://tinyurl.com/3anwlmg -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 180.92.5.200
