Signing Type A relievers is a risky proposition, as the swings in their
performance from year-to-year can be wild, and they simply don't impact a
large amount of innings over the course of a season.
WEEI.com's Alex Speier tells us that may not stop the Red Sox from pursuing
Scott Downs, however, despite the fact that he'd cost Boston a first-round
pick. Speier's source also says that the club wouldn't give up a pick to sign
Grant Balfour to the multi-year deal he's seeking, and he cites multiple
industry sources saying the club is interested in Matt Guerrier after the
Twins declined to offer him arbitration.
As Speier points out, Downs has some of the most dominant numbers in history
for a reliever during his age 31-34 seasons, and the Red Sox have taken note
of the division rival's excellence. Since 2007, Downs has compiled a 2.36 ERA
with a 7.8 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 over 236 2/3 innings, while being a stickler for
home runs (0.5 HR/9). He's been a menace to left-handed hitters, but it's
worth noting that the highest OPS right-handers have managed off him in that
timeframe is .643.
Guerrier, 32, has appeared in 70 or more innings every year since his first
full season in 2005, with the exception of 2006 -- when he came one out short
of the mark. While his career peripherals (5.9 K/9, 45.7% GB%, 4.44 FIP)
don't dazzle, Guerrier has managed to out-perform them year-in and year-out.
He's led the league in appearances twice (2008 and 2009) and has a career ERA
of 3.38 to his name to go along with solid control (2.8 BB/9).
Epstein said Monday that the Red Sox will acquire multiple relievers via
trade or free agency, but as he points out in this quote relayed from Speier,
teams may be waiting for some distance from the Joaquin Benoit signing:
“Sometimes when there’s a contract that exceeds expectations early, it can
embolden players and agents within that subset of players who have a similar
resume,” said Epstein. “Time will tell whether they get attached to that
contract or it’s an outlier contract.”
The Red Sox haven't surrendered a draft pick to sign a reliever since 2004
with Keith Foulke, but Downs could change that trend, especially if the Red
Sox end up receiving additional first-round and supplemental picks for the
departures of Victor Martinez, Adrian Beltre, and Felipe Lopez.
結論:
正努力簽下Scott Downs(TYPE-A),同時也會考慮Guerrier(無arb)
被火藥RP激的即使給選秀也要簽好牛了...囧
