Jose Fernandez & Parker Bridwell DFAed - 美國職棒

The Angels have designated infielder Jose Fernandez and righty Parker Bridwell
for assignment, per a club announcement. Those moves helped to open roster
space so the team could select the contracts of lefty Jose Suarez, infielder
Luis Rengifo, and righty Luis Madero.

天使DFA了內野手Jose Fernandez跟右投手Parker Bridwell。最近要確定40人名單，為了
挪出空間給其他小聯盟選手，這兩位就被DFA了。

Fernandez, 30, has had an unusual career path. His attempted transition to the
majors from Cuba took years, then he finally landed with the Dodgers in 2017.
Fernandez has done nothing but hit in the upper minors, with an enticing blend
of power (.202 ISO at Triple-A in 2018) and plate discipline (8.6% strikeout
rate with 8.4% walk rate).

Fernandez花了好多年，去年才終於來到MLB體系，落腳於躲人，
有相當誘人的砲瓦跟本壘板紀律。

Still, Fernandez was dumped by the Dodgers. Then, in a lost season for the
Halos, Fernandez received only limited opportunity. To be fair, he was not able
to bring the power with him to the game’s highest level. But Fernandez posted
a respectable 94 wRC+. He was deployed only sparingly at second and third base
in the big leagues, but spent plenty of time there at Triple-A.

結果還是被躲人丟了，在同城的天使也沒有拿到太多機會。實際上，他很少把他在小聯盟
的power給帶上大聯盟，但他還是繳出不錯的94 wRC+，此外他在大聯盟也很少站在他熟悉
的二三壘，而是以一壘居多。

It’ll also be interesting to see how much interest Bridwell draws. It was only
a year back, after all, that he was coming off of a 121-inning, 3.64 ERA
campaign. Of course, there were flashing red signs suggesting that was
unlikely to be sustained. And Bridwell has since endured an injury-plagued
campaign in which he was knocked around when on the mound.

Bridwell去年的121局投球丟出了3.64ERA，從今年來看顯然這種好表現無法維持，
並且他也因為傷病困擾（手肘骨刺）沒有太多出賽機會。
