[外電] Orioles To Acquire Travis Snider

[zhickun (阿不就好棒棒)]

7:32pm: The trade will be Snider to the Orioles in exchange for Tarpley and a
player to be named later, reports Connolly (on Twitter).


7:25pm: The Orioles and Pirates are believed to have a deal in place that
will send outfielder Travis Snider to Baltimore, reports Jeff Passan of Yahoo
Sports (Twitter link). Class-A pitcher Stephen Tarpley is one of the
prospects heading to the Pirates in the deal, Passan adds. Earlier today, Dan
Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reported that trade talks between the two sides
had re-kindled, and Class-A left-hander Steven Brault was a possible name to
keep an eye on in trade talks.

Snider, who turns 27 next week, represents the first outfield addition to an
Orioles club that has already lost both Nick Markakis and Nelson Cruz this
offseason (though the team did also re-sign Delmon Young). Where he fits into
the overall picture for the Orioles is a bit less clear, as the team already
has a pair of left-handed hitting corner outfielders in Alejandro De Aza and
David Lough. However, Lough doesn’t have the same offensive ceiling as
Snider and may be considered more of a fourth outfield option for the Orioles
follwing this trade.

Snider, formerly a Top 10 prospect in all of baseball per both Baseball
America and Baseball Prospectus, has not lived up to that billing nor his
lofty draft status (14th overall in 2006), but he enjoyed a strong season at
the plate in 2014 with Pittsburgh. After a slow start, Snider recovered to
slash .264/.338/.438 with 13 homers in 359 plate appearances. Specifically,
Snider was excellent after the All-Star break, hitting .288/.356/.524 in 188
plate appearances.

The Pirates and Snider have already agreed to a $2.1MM salary for 2015,
thereby avoiding arbitration. Snider will be arb-eligible again next winter
for the final time before hitting the free agent market in the 2016-17
offseason.

As for the Orioles, they’ll acquire a 21-year-old former third-round pick
(2013) in the form of Tarpley. The Arizona native spent 2014 with
short-season Class-A Aberdeen, working to a 3.68 ERA with 8.2 K/9 and 3.3
BB/9 in 66 innings of work (12 starts, one relief appearance). Tarpley
recently ranked 14th on MLB.com’s list of Top 20 Orioles prospects and last
winter ranked 21st on Baseball America’s list of Top 30 Orioles prospects.
BA noted that Tarpley has the stuff to start, with a 90-92 mph fastball that
touches 96 at times in addition to a curveball and changeup. He previously
had a slider in his arsenal as well, though the Orioles opted to scrap that
pitch so he could focus on his change, per BA. MLB.com praised him as an arm
with upside, touting not only solid curveball and a changeup that shows
potential, but also his pitchability and size.
