Rangers, Matt Davidson Agree To Minor League Deal

The Rangers announced Friday that they’ve signed veteran right-hander Jason
Hammel to a minor league contract with an invitation to Major League Spring
Training. Hammel is represented by ACES.
Hammel wrapped up an ill-fated two-year, $16MM contract with the Royals this
past season and will head to the Rangers in search of a rebound on the heels
of two of his worst big league seasons. As a Royal, Hammel struggled to a
5.59 ERA in 307 1/3 innings, averaging 6.9 K/9 against 2.5 BB/9 with
below-average ground-ball tendencies. Fielding-independent metrics felt he
was marginally better (4.44 FIP, 4.95 xFIP), but the overall results were a
far cry from the strong work turned in by Hammel from 2014-16 between the
Cubs and the Athletics. Over those three years, Hammel logged a 3.68 ERA with
474 strikeouts against 173 alks in 513 2/3 innings.
The addition of Hammel is the latest depth move for a Rangers organization
that has prioritized stockpiling inexpensive rotation pieces for much of the
offseason. As was the case last winter, Texas made a three-year signing —
this year it was Lance Lynn for $30MM; last offseason it was Mike Minor for
$28MM — followed by a series of smaller-scale additions. Texas has added
Drew Smyly and Shelby Miller to the rotation picture, too, and selected the
contract of veteran Edinson Volquez to the Major League roster. (Volquez had
previously signed a two-year minor league contract as he recovered from Tommy
John surgery.)

The Rangers have agreed to a minor league contract with corner infielder Matt
Davidson, tweets ESPN’s Jeff Passan. He’ll presumably head to Major League
Spring Training, and, interestingly, will work as both an infielder and a
pitcher with his new organization, according to Passan. Davidson is
represented by MVP Sports.
Davidson, 28 in March, more than doubled his career walk rate last season,
walking in 10.5 percent of his plate appearances after doing so at only a 4.3
percent pace in 2017. That increase in plate discipline came at the expense
of some of Davidson’s power, though, and strikeouts remained a severe issue
(33.3 percent). Overall, he hit .228/.319/.419 with 20 home runs in 496 plate
appearances last year and has 46 home runs in his past 939 PAs. He’s
primarily been a corner infielder and, if he makes the MLB roster, would give
the Rangers a right-handed bat to back up at first base, third base and
designated hitter.
On the pitching side of the equation, Davidson is obviously even more of a
work in progress. To his credit, though, he tossed three shutout innings of
relief last season with a pair of strikeouts, one hit and one walk allowed.
Davidson’s fastball sat at only 90 mph in that tiny sample, though one would
imagine that with greater focus on pitching, that number could trend upwards.

5. 备注:
(1) 游骑兵用小联盟约附带大联盟春训邀请签下先发投手Jason Hammel,跟内野手/指定打
击/"投手"(别怀疑没写错)Matt Davidson。
(2) 在Hammel的部分,文章提到在皇家两年不理想的表现,主投307.1局5.59 ERA、约联盟
平均水准的K/9 6.9、BB/9 2.5跟低于平均的滚地球比率,虽然扣除掉场地因素表现好很多
(4.44 FIP, 4.95 xFIP),但综观来说他的成绩还是比不上过去在小熊跟运动家时期:
513.2局中缴出3.68 ERA、474 K跟173保送的不俗表现,这笔不贵的投资将补足游骑兵的先
发阵容深度。
(3) 在Davidson方面就比较有趣了,主要是游骑兵愿意给他同时担任内野手跟投手的角色
,文章提及在白袜队的打击表现,像是去年的保送率(10.5%)近是生涯的两倍、本垒版纪
律的进步也展现出他的砲瓦,但三振数过多仍是严重的问题(被三振率33.3%);另外在担任
投手的部分,他持续努力进步当中,他去年主投三局仅被打出一支安打送出两次三振、一
次保送,虽然在小样本中、快速球仅达90 mph,但他投球表现进步可期。
(4) 游骑兵队今年预计的投手与野手阵容:

Jason Hammel、Edinson Vólquez(INJ,TJ)。
