The White Sox announced today that they have outrighted outfielder Daniel
Palka (via MLB.com’s Scott Merkin, on Twitter). He was designated recently
to clear roster space for the signing of Yasmani Grandal.

Palka, 28, turned in a solid showing at the plate in his 2018 debut. While he
went down on strikes 153 times in 449 plate appearances and ended with a .294
on-base percentage, he delivered enough power (27 home runs, .484 slugging
percentage) to be an above-average overall performer with the bat.

Trouble was, Palka wasn’t up to the task in the outfield, where he graded
quite poorly. He needed to make further strides in one or both areas to lock
up a roster spot. Instead, he struggled badly in limited MLB chances in 2019,
posting an awful .107/.194/.179 slash in 93 trips to the plate.

Some team will still gladly offer the powerful Palka a non-roster invitation
on a minors deal. Notably, he showed improved plate discipline during his
time at Triple-A in 2019. Offense was up everywhere, so there’s no reason to
get carried away with the .900 OPS and 27 dingers he delivered at Charlotte.
But Palka has never before managed a K/BB mix like the 109 strikeouts and 72
walks he tallied in 471 plate appearances.

5. 備註：

根據MLB.com Scott Merkin的推特，白襪隊今天宣布下放了外野手Daniel Palka，以清出
空間給剛簽約的捕手Yasmani Grandal。

28歲的Palka在2018新人年表現出色。雖然他在449個打席中被三振153次、僅繳出.294的
上壘率，但他的砲瓦嶄露無遺（27支全壘打、.484長打率），高於聯盟平均水平。

令人麻煩的是，Palka卻沒有勝任外野手的工作，而且表現被評比為不佳。他需要在角落
外野的一個或兩個位置中，展現更大的進步以爭取留在大聯盟名單。然而，他在2019年的
表現卻相當掙扎，在93個打席中繳出糟糕的三圍.107 / .194 / .179。

某些球隊仍會樂意向有砲瓦的Palka提供小聯盟約並附帶春訓邀請。值得一提的是，他在
2019年3A的本壘板紀律有所進步。另外，他攻擊端表現有目共睹，因此沒有理由把一個扛
出過27轟、.900 OPS的炮手放在3A，Palka在3A的471個打數被三振109次三振、選到72次的
四壞保送。
