The White Sox are in agreement on a one-year, $4MM contract (pending a
physical) with free agent left-hander Scott Downs, according to Ken Rosenthal
of FOX Sports (Twitter links). Downs' deal contains a vesting option that
could bring the deal to two years and roughly $8MM, he adds. According to
Rosenthal, the option will vest if Downs pitches a normal workload.
白袜和左手牛Downs签下一份一年4M的合约 目前正等待体检过关中就正式生效
FOX Sports的Ken Rosenthal表示这份合约包含了自动执行权
会将这份合约延长一年
而且这个执行权只要Downs正常发挥就可以了
The 37-year-old Downs posted a 2.49 ERA with 7.7 K/9, 3.9 BB/9 and a 64.3
percent ground-ball rate in 43 1/3 innings between the Angels and Braves in
2013. This past season represented the final year of a three-year, $15MM pact
between the Angels and Downs. The Halos traded him to Atlanta in July in
exchange for right-hander Cory Rasmus.
这个37岁的左牛在去年待的两支队伍中的43.1局里送出了2.49ERA 7.7K/9 3.9 BB/9
64.3%滚地球比例
今年是他三年15M合约的最后一年 逆转猴在暑假的时候把他交易到斧头帮去
换来了Cory Rasmus 也让斧头帮补强了左牛的部分
Though Downs was typically strong against both right- and left-handed hitters
into his mid-30s, he's developed a notable platoon split over the past two
seasons. From 2012-13, right-handed batters have hit Downs at a
.285/.371/.416 clip.
虽然过去Downs不管面对左打或是右打都有非常不错的表现
（当年在蓝鸟也当过8.9局投手）
不过这两年对左右打的表现落差倒是非常明显
The White Sox have seen their bullpen depth depleted greatly over the past
six months. The team traded Matt Thornton to the Red Sox in July and saw him
sign with the Yankees as a free agent. Jesse Crain was traded to the Rays and
is now a free agent, and they also traded closer Addison Reed to the
Diamondbacks in exchange for top third base prospect Matt Davidson.
白袜此举被认为是要充实过去六个月大量耗尽的牛棚
从暑假刚开始Thornton就被换到肥袜家去（前阵子和洋老院签了约呢）
Jesse Crain这个13赛季前半段杀气腾腾的牛也被交易到光芒去 现在变成了FA
前几天他们也为了优秀的三垒Prospect Matt Davidson而把镇中的终结者Addison Reed
送到蛇蛇去
如果Downs不能找回过去的状态的话变成一人左的可能性不小
