42. Josh Lindblom – Astros. Two years, $8MM. Lindblom might be a vaguely
familiar name for avid baseball fans or a complete unknown for others. He
totaled 136 2/3 innings with the Dodgers, Phillies, Rangers and A’s from
2011-14 without establishing himself in the big leagues, and he had a brief
10 1/3-inning return with the Pirates in 2017. Like many players with
unremarkable careers in the U.S., Lindblom took a chance on an overseas
opportunity. He’s spent most of the past three seasons in the Korea Baseball
Organization, where he’s experienced a breakout of sorts.
Over the past two seasons, Lindblom has a 2.68 ERA and a 346-to-67 K/BB ratio
in 363 1/3 innings. The righty was carrying a sub-2.00 ERA for much of the
2019 season in the hitter-friendly KBO, and while win-loss record doesn’t
mean much in 2019, his 35-7 mark over the past two seasons speaks to the
success he’s found. Were Lindblom younger, he may well be ranked higher on
the list. He’ll turn 33 next June, however, and paired with the shaky MLB
track record, that will give some teams pause. That said, Lindblom’s numbers
are superior to those of Merrill Kelly during his own KBO breakout, and he
inked a two-year, $5.5MM deal with the D-backs upon returning stateside. His
fastball stands out in terms of spin rate, but its velocity isn’t
particularly eye-catching (90-92 mph). A team looking for upside at a
relatively low cost makes sense here — particularly if said team heavily
values spin rate and exit velocity. The Astros, Brewers, Dodgers, Twins, Cubs
and Angels all seem like viable fits, but there’s no reason to think that a
rebuilding team wouldn’t take a flier on a low-cost pitcher with some upside.
简略叙述一下大意 林柏融(Lindblom)曾经在2011-2014待在大联盟
但是之后出赛机会逐渐减少 最后消失在球队版图当中
虽然曾经在2017年短暂在海盗队登上大联盟 但是最终还是选择到亚洲打球
林柏融(Lindblom)这两年在KBO投了363 1/3局 期间只有2.68ERA和346/67 K/BB比
两年合计35胜7败 今年更是把防御率压在2以下
即将满33岁的他 生涯前几年在MLB不及格的成绩可能让一些球队却步
但是他依然有潜力拿到 跟同样从KBO重返MLB的Merrill Kelly差不多
2年550万的合约 而这个价格可能会适合一些想捡便宜的球队
如太空人.酿酒人.道奇.双城.小熊.天使等球队
