The Indians have designated Derek Lowe for assignment, reports MLB.com's
Jordan Bastian (on Twitter). The move clears room on the roster for Corey
Kluber.
Lowe, 39, pitched to a 5.52 ERA in 21 starts for Cleveland this season,
including an 8.80 ERA in his last dozen starts. He walked (45) more batters
than he struck out (41) in 119 innings, though he was still generating plenty
of ground balls (60.0%) with that sinker.
The Indians acquired Lowe from the Braves this past offseason and only had to
pay $5MM of his $15MM salary. They're still on the hook for that money less
the pro-rated portion of the league minimum should he sign elsewhere. Lowe
has expressed interest in returning to the Red Sox, and it's likely a
pitching-starved team will give him a chance given his reputation as an
innings eater.
季初用5M跟勇士換來的Lowe被DFA了，今年還是不見起色，ERA高達5.52，BB比K還要多
不過依然有相當高的滾球率（60％）
連吃局數的SP都缺的球隊應該還是可以撿撿看
