The Indians have designated catcher Eric Haase for assignment, the club
announced. His roster spot was needed for César Hernández, whose one-year
signing is now official.
Haase, who just turned 27, has only tallied 34 plate appearances at the game’
s highest level. He spent nearly all of 2018-19 with the club’s Triple-A
affiliate in Columbus, where he’s tallied nearly 900 plate appearances with
a cumulative .232/.302/.479 slash with 49 home runs.
He’s carried that same high-strikeout, big power profile throughout his
minor-league career. Coupled with a solid defensive reputation, that was
enough to make him a decent prospect, as he twice finished among the back
half of Cleveland’s top 31 farmhands at Baseball America.
Haase comes with all six seasons of team control and another option year, so
it’s plausible some other club will give him a look. Numerous clubs could be
in the market for catching help. Speculatively speaking, teams like the
Tigers and Pirates could be in position to give playing time to a talented
but unproven option in hopes of striking gold.

5. 備註：
因應印地安人已正式簽下二壘手Cesar Hernandez，為了在名單清出一個位置，球團宣布將
捕手Eric Haase指定轉讓。
剛滿27歲的Haase生涯在大聯盟僅有34個打席。在2018-19賽季中，幾乎都待在印地安人
3A的Columbus隊，兩年共累積近900個打席，三圍為.232 / .302 / .479，共轟出49支全壘
打。
在他的小聯盟生涯中，屬於有砲瓦但伴隨高三振類型的球員。另外，他不錯的防守使他有
不錯的發展與評價，他兩次在Baseball America的排名中，位居印地安人隊前31名的潛力
新秀的後段。
Haase擁有六個賽季的球隊控制權和另一個選擇權年度，因此其他球隊可能對他有興趣並給
他機會，而且目前市場上對捕手仍有所求。作者推測，像老虎和海盜隊可能會給這些有才
華、但未經證明的選手多一點時間，以從沙礫中挑出珍珠。
印地安人隊各位置人選如下：
(1) C：Roberto Perez、Sandy Leon。
(2) 1B：Carlos Santana。
(3) 2B：Cesar Hernandez。
(4) 3B：Jose Ramirez。
(5) SS：Francisco Lindor。
(6) UT：Yu Chang、Mike Freeman、Andrew Velazquez。
(7) RF：Tyler Naquin。
(8) CF：Oscar Mercado。
(9) LF：Jake Bauers。
(10) OF：Delino DeShields、Jordan Luplow、Greg Allen。
(11) DH：Franmil Reyes。
