替補一壘手來了：Lyle Overbay - 美國職棒

Report: Red Sox Sign First Baseman Lyle Overbay to Minor League Deal

http://t.co/x5MWgKCg

The Red Sox are going outside the organization in search of Mike Napoli‘s
backup.

The Sox have signed first baseman Lyle Overbay to a minor league contract with
a non-roster invite to spring training, according to Scott Lauber of the
Boston Herald.

Overbay, who turned 36 on Monday, is a career .270 hitter in 12 big league
seasons. He hit .259 with two home runs and 10 RBIs in 116 at-bats split
between Arizona and Atlanta last season. His best season came in 2006, when
he hit .312 with 22 home runs and 92 RBIs in 157 games with the Blue Jays.

Overbay will give the Red Sox some depth at first base — something they truly
need — as they get ready to enter spring training. Mauro Gomez and Mark
Hamilton both figure to compete for a spot on Boston’s bench, but neither
has much big league experience. Overbay, on the other hand, has plenty of
experience to go along with his left-handed bat.

Overbay can opt-out of minor league deal if he isn't on roster by end of
spring training

如果Napoli健康、Overbay在春訓後沒進入陣容中的話他可以選擇opt-out。
