[新聞] Marlins Acquire Aaron Crow
By Steve Adams [November 28, 2014 at 11:16am CST]
The Marlins have acquired right-hander Aaron Crow from the Royals in exchange
for left-hander Brian Flynn and minor league righty Reid Redman, the teams
announced.
Aaron Crow
Crow, 28, has considerably more big league experience than the 24-year-old
Flynn. Crow has spent the past four seasons as a setup man for manager Ned
Yost, pitching with great effectiveness from 2011-13. In his first three
years with the Royals, Crow posted a 3.19 ERA, 9.0 K/9, 3.9 BB/9 and a
ground-ball rate north of 50 percent.
However, the typically hard-throwing former No. 12 overall pick struggled
this year as his velocity dropped. Crow posted a career-worst 4.12 ERA with a
career-low 5.2 K/9 rate against 3.7 BB/9 in 59 innings this past season. His
ground-ball rate dipped to a career-low 43.2 percent as well. On the plus
side, he didn’t miss any time due to injuries, so if the Marlins saw
something in Crow’s delivery that they feel can be fixed, they could have a
nice bullpen piece on their hands at a relatively modest price. Crow is
projected by MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz to earn $2MM in 2015, though his
struggles did make him a non-tender candidate. It’s possible that with today
’s signing of Jason Frasor, the Royals felt they had found a cheaper
solution to their middle relief needs. With exactly four years of service
time under his belt, Crow can be controlled by the Marlins for an additional
two seasons.
The Marlins originally acquired Flynn from the Tigers along with Jacob Turner
and Rob Brantly in the trade that sent Omar Infante and Anibal Sanchez to
Detroit. Since being acquired by Miami, Flynn has seen a couple of brief
Major League stints, allowing 24 runs in 25 innings with a 21-to-16 K/BB
ratio. Those numbers aren’t the most impressive, obviously, but he has a
considerably better minor league track record and has been a mainstay on
Marlins top prospect lists. Heading into the season, Baseball America ranked
him sixth among Fish farmhands, while MLB.com ranked him 10th on their
midseason Top 20 list.
Flynn has a lifetime 3.44 ERA with 7.3 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 in 277 2/3 innings at
the Triple-A level. In their scouting report, BA praised a fastball that sat
89 to 93 mph and touched 95 out of the 6’7〃 lefty’s hand. Flynn features a
four-pitch mix with his best offspeed offering being a slider, per BA, and he
also features an average changeup and a show-me curveball that he mixes in
less often. Flynn will provide the Royals with another Major League ready
rotation option, but he could also fill a need in the bullpen, as the Royals
are without a solid lefty relief option.
Redman, who recently turned 26, reached Double-A for the first time this
season. Drafted by Tampa in 2012 as a third baseman, Redman has successfully
converted to the mound since that time. In 90 professional innings, he has a
2.00 ERA with 9.3 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9.
鴉季後跟球團也鬧的不開心
感謝他這幾年的付出....
