Cubs To Sign Koji Uehara
内文:

DECEMBER 14: The deal is for $6MM, per ESPNChicago.com’s Jesse Rogers (via
Twitter).
DECEMBER 8:
Righty reliever Koji Uehara has agreed to a one-year deal with the Cubs. Evan
Drellich of the Boston Herald first tweeted the connection; Jon Heyman of Fan
Rag tweeted that a deal was done. A report from Nikkan Sports in Japan
indicates that Uehara and the Cubs have struck a deal for around $4.5MM,
though the precise dollar amount remains in question.
At last check, the Red Sox had been set to move on from Uehara — as Alex
Speier of WEEI.com tweets, the Red Sox had made an offer, but Uehara wasn’t
ready to respond, so the team acquired Tyler Thornburg instead. The Cubs have
been known to be looking for bullpen help even after their trade for Wade
Davis, although previous reporting suggested they might focus on finding a
lefty.
With Davis in tow, Uehara almost certainly won’t close for the Cubs, as he
did for Boston in 2012-2014. But his presence provides some added peace of
mind for the defending World Series champs, particularly since Davis dealt
with forearm issues in 2016. Chicago now features a rather robust assortment
of experienced, high-leverage righties in the pen. Both Hector Rondon and
Pedro Strop — who spent much of 2016 as the team’s closer and top set-up
option, respectively — remain on hand.

As for Uehara, there’s a reason a pitcher of his repute was available on a
modest contract. Most importantly, he’ll turn 42 near the start of the
season. His fastball velocity also continued to dip in 2016, falling to an
average of 86.7 MPH, generally dangerous territory for a righty. He also
became incredibly fly-ball-prone, with a minuscule 21.4 GB%, and coughed up
1.53 homers per nine innings. Also, Uehara missed time in 2016 due to a
pectoral injury, interrupting what had been a strong run of durability.
Still, Uehara remained very effective last season, posting a 3.45 ERA, 12.1
K/9 and 2.1 BB/9 over 47 innings. If the contract does turn out to be for
$4.5MM, the Cubs’ risk is minimal, particularly for a pitcher who hasn’t
yet had a bad season in eight years since arriving from Japan. For his US
career, Uehara has a terrific 2.53 ERA, 10.7 K/9 and 1.4 BB/9 over 437 2/3
innings.
Notably, too, Uehara has long dominated opposing hitters on both sides of the
plate. While lefty hitters have been ever so slightly better in terms of
strikeouts and walks when facing Uehara, they have produced less offensive
than have righties. Since the ace reliever landed in the majors, 863 southpaw
swingers have combined to hit an anemic .181/.220/.335 against him.

备注:
1. 小熊队与上原浩治完成一笔合约,合约为$6MM/1YR。
2. 红袜原本有出offer给他,但上原还没准备好做决定,所以红袜才找Tyler Thornburg。
3. 在找来Wade Davis之后,小熊知道牛棚仍需要补强,但内文建议他们要找左手牛。
4. 上原因为年龄的关系,速球均速持续下修,今年均速为86.7MPH,对右打者较不具压制
性,被击成飞球比率因此上升(滚地球率:21.4%),被全垒打比率也来到近年新高的1.53
支,一度因为胸肌受伤在伤兵名单中。然而,上原是历史上后援投手中(IP>400),WHIP最
低的投手(WHIP=0.864),生涯863位左打者对上原的三围是.181/.220/.335。
5. 小熊队明年的牛棚阵容预测:
RP:Carl Edwards、Justin Grimm、上原浩治、Pedro Strop、Mike Montgomery
(LHP, LR/SP)、Rob Zastryzny(LHP)、Caleb Smith(LHP, Rule 5)
SU:Hector Rondon
CL:Wade Davis
6. 上原浩治今年在红袜队的成绩表现(今年41岁;今年薪水:$9MM):
W - L ERA IP HLD SV/SVO SO BB ERA+ FIP WHIP
2 - 3 3.45 47.0 18 7/9 63 11 133 3.51 0.957
