Rays Acquire Hank Conger

內文：

The Rays have acquired catcher Hank Conger from the Astros in exchange for
cash considerations, the club announced. Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times
first tweeted the move, adding that all of the team’s arbitration eligible
players have been tendered contracts. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reported
earlier tonight that Conger had been offered to at least one club in a trade
(Twitter link).

The 27-year-old Conger is a switch-hitter that is coming off a season in
which he batted .229/.311/.448 with 11 home runs while backing up starting
catcher Jason Castro. Conger did nearly all of his damage from the left side
of the plate, hitting right-handed pitching at an outstanding .279/.353/.538
clip but slumping to a .175/.250/.351 batting line upon stepping into the
right-handed batters’ box.

From a defensive standpoint, Conger is a puzzling story. He’s consistently
graded out as an excellent pitch-framer — one of the primary reasons that
drove the Astros (and, presumably, the Rays) to acquire him — but he
developed a bizarre inability to throw out runners in 2015. While Conger has
never caught attempted base-stealers at an elite rate, he prevented a
staggeringly low one of 43 attempted thefts in 2015. He caught around one out
of every four to five baserunners who attempted to run on him in previous
seasons.

Clearly, the Astros had concerns over Conger’s throwing issues, as evidenced
by the fact that he was moved for cash considerations despite a reasonably
productive season at the plate, solid framing numbers and a projected $1.8MM
salary. The Rays will hope that they can turn those woes around and utilize
Conger behind the dish, perhaps in a platoon capacity, with Curt Casali or
Rene Rivera. If they’re able to do so, the Rays can control Conger through
the 2017 season. He currently has four years, 51 days of Major League service
time.

備註：

1. Hank Conger(C, HOU) <-> $ (TB)

2. Hank Conger在2015年的成績表現：

Hank Conger     C   Age = 27  Team = HOU   Salary = $1,075,000

   G    H    HR    RBI    BA     OBP     SLG     OPS    OPS+    SB/CS

  73   46    11    33    .229    .311    .448    .759   106     42/1(2%)

3. 守備方面表現不太好，阻殺率相較於以往的26~28%，2015年球季只有2%，但偷好球能
力算是非常傑出(被認為交易來的主要原因之一)。

4. 記者認為明年Hank Conger的薪水約1.8MM。

5. 光芒球團希望他能跟Curt Casali或Rene Rivera來platoon。

6. 光芒球團能控制Hank Conger到最多2017年結束(2018年FA)。

大概是這篇的重點摘要，有問題歡迎不吝指教。
