[情報] KC Royals acquires Willingham
KANSAS CITY -- The Kansas City Royals announced today that they have acquired
outfielder Josh Willingham from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for minor
league right-handed pitcher Jason Adam. In a corresponding 40-man roster
move, the Royals have requested unconditional release waivers on right-handed
pitcher Wilking Rodriguez. The team is planning to make a move to add
Willingham to the 25-man roster when he reports to Kansas City on Tuesday.
Willingham, 35, was hitting .210 with 12 home runs, 34 RBI and a .345 on-base
percentage in 68 games for Minnesota this season. He's walked 42 times in 278
plate appearances, with his walk rate (15.1 percent) ranking sixth in the
American League. His isolated power (.128) ranks 28th among American League
players with 250 or more plate appearances. He's spent the last three seasons
with the Twins, setting career-highs in homers (35), RBI (110), slugging
(.524) and OPS (.890) in 2012, earning the A.L. Silver Slugger Award as a
left fielder. The right-handed hitting outfielder is in his 11th season in
the big leagues, having spent time in Florida (2004-08), Washington
(2009-10), Oakland (2011) and Minnesota (2012-14).
Adam, 23, was the Royals fifth-round selection in 2010 and has split the 2014
season between Northwest Arkansas (AA) and Omaha (AAA). He's a graduate of
nearby Blue Valley Northwest High School in Overland Park, Kan.
威靈漢到皇家隊了，希望可以有重生的表現
打擊率快跌破兩成了，不曉得有沒有大大和我一樣，還是持有他期待反彈的一天阿
