The Astros have signed Livan Hernandez to a minor league deal, Ken Rosenthal
of FOX Sports reports on Twitter. The Praver/Shapiro client would provide
Houston with rotation depth if he makes the team out of Spring Training.
Hernandez posted a 4.47 ERA with 5.1 K/9, 2.4 BB/9 and a 42.4% ground ball
rate in 175 1/3 innings for the 2011 Nationals. The 36-year-old has averaged
216 innings and a 4.44 ERA since 1998, his first full season as a big league
starter, and has completed at least 175 innings in each of the past 14
seasons. He earned $1.25MM in 2011, but didn't obtain guaranteed money from
the Astros.
太空人以小聯盟約簽下36歲的老將賀南德茲, 但薪水還不確定
過去14個球季, 他每季至少能投175局.
