Indians Sign Ross Detwiler To Minor League Deal
內文：

4:50pm: Cleveland has announced the deal via press release.
4:20pm: The Indians and left-hander Ross Detwiler have agreed to a minor
league contract, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (links to Twitter). If he
makes the club, Detwiler will earn a $1MM base salary, and his contract also
contains an additional $1.5MM worth of incentives.
Detwiler, a client of CAA Sports, split last season between the Rangers and
Braves but struggled at both stops. The former No. 6 overall draft pick had
spent his entire career prior to 2015 with the Nationals, the organization
that drafted him, compiling a 3.82 ERA with 5.4 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 across 471
innings. Detwiler split his time fairly evenly between the bullpen and
rotation with the Nationals — 69 starts, 63 relief appearances — but he
started just seven games last season (all with the Braves). Home runs were
Detwiler’s undoing in Texas, as he yielded nine of them in just 43 innings
of work with the Rangers en route to a 7.12 ERA. Upon going to the Braves,
the lefty displayed significant control problems — 15 unintentional walks in
15 1/3 innings — which have never been a problem for him in the past.
Ultimately, a hamstring injury suffered in early September ended his season
and his time with the Braves.
There weren’t many positive takeaways from the 2015 season for Detwiler, but
the 29-year-od did hold lefties to a .660 OPS and has always been pretty
effective against same-handed batters, yielding just a .233/.314/.301 batting
line to such opponents. He’ll join fellow southpaws Joe Thatcher and Tom
Gorzelanny as non-roster invites in Spring Training, hoping to edge out one
or both as he seeks to land a big league roster spot. Unlike those two,
however, Detwiler could conceivably battle for a rotation spot, although with
Corey Kluber, Danny Salazar, Carlos Carrasco, Trevor Bauer, Cody Anderson and
Josh Tomlin all ahead of him, that looks unlikely at this juncture.

備註：
1. 印地安人以小聯盟約簽下了Ross Detwiler，若登上大聯盟可拿1MM的薪水，額外還有
1.5MM的激勵獎金等著他，也就是說他明年最多可以拿到2.5MM的薪水。
2. 當年(2007年)是第六順位被選進國民隊的陣中，生涯在國民隊：先發69場(後援63場)
，3.82 ERA、5.4 K/9、2.9 BB/9及471局。
3. 他會跟 Joe Thatcher 跟 Tom Gorzelanny以non-roster invites身分加入春訓。
