Blue Jays Sign Roberto Hernandez, Brad Penny
内文：

The Blue Jays have announced a series of minor league pitching signings
today, including righties Roberto Hernandez and Brad Penny. Toronto also
confirmed the previously-reported signing of southpaw Wade LeBlanc and
announced the additions of right-hander Scott Copeland and lefty Pat McCoy.
All of the above-listed players will receive invites to major league camp.
Hernandez, 35, threw 84 2/3 innings (in eleven starts and nine relief
appearances) last year for the Astros before losing his roster spot. He put
up a 4.36 earned run average with 4.5 K/9 against 2.8 BB/9 in that span.
Hernandez lost a mile off of his fastball last year, ending with an average
88.9 mph heater, but rested for the second half of the season and could be a
swingman/long relief candidate.
Toronto will owe pay Hernandez at a $1.25MM annual rate if he makes the
roster, per SB Nation’s Chris Cotillo (on Twitter). The deal also includes
$750K in incentives. And there’s a March 28 opt-out, Ben Nicholson-Smith of
Sportsnet.ca adds via Twitter.
Penny still brings a mid-nineties heater even as he closes in on 38 years of
age, ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick noted yesterday in reporting the signing on
Twitter. He can opt out of his deal at the end of camp, Nicholson-Smith notes
via Twitter. Penny worked as a starter last year at Triple-A for the White
Sox, throwing 135 1/3 innings of 4.46 ERA ball.
Copeland, meanwhile, just turned 28. He debuted briefly for the Jays last
year, but spent most of the year working to a 2.95 ERA in 125 Triple-A
innings, but with a marginal 4.8 K/9 against 2.7 BB/9.
As for McCoy, he has also received a short stint in the bigs — in 2014 with
the Tigers — and will be looking for a chance at a return. He spent last
year in the Orioles organization, throwing 83 1/3 minor league innings and
compiling a 3.78 ERA with 6.9 K/9 and 3.6 BB/9.
