Red Sox To Sign Dan Wheeler
By Mike Axisa [December 18, 2010 at 8:06am CST]
The Red Sox have agreed to terms with Dan Wheeler, tweets ESPN Boston's
Gordon Edes. Two days ago we heard that Boston was unlikely to go beyond a
one-year offer with the right-hander.
Wheeler, 33, spent the last three-and-a-half seasons pitching out of the Rays
bullpen, where he posted a 4.32 ERA with 7.7 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 in 268.2
innings. If we remove intentional walks, his walk rate drops all the way down
to 2.4 BB/9. Wheeler has a very pronounced platoon split, holding righties to
a .217/.270/.365 batting line in his career while lefties tagged him for a
.275/.341/.491. It's worth noting that he held left-handed batters to a
.154/.227/.436 line in 2010.
