Athletics To Sign Brad Mills By Steve Adams [October 27, 2014 at 4:54pm CDT] The Athletics have reached an agreement with left-hander Brad Mills on a minor league contract with an invitation to Major League Spring Training, reports Baseball America’s Matt Eddy in his latest Minor League Transactions roundup. MLBTR’s Zach Links hears that Mills drew interest from a number of clubs, but chose the A’s because he felt it presented him with a strong opportunity to make the big league club again (Twitter links). Mills, 30 in March, split the season between the Brewers, A’s and Blue Jays or ganizations, seeing Major League time with the latter two. Much was made of the trade that sent Mills from Milwaukee to Oakland for all of $1, but the procedural move proved to have little impact. Mills was knocked around for nine runs (eight earned) in 16 1/3 innings for Oakland, surrendering 19 hits with a 14-to-7 K/BB ratio. Oakland designated the southpaw for assignment, and he was claimed by the Blue Jays. With Toronto, Mills yielded 13 runs in 4 1/3 innings and found himself designated for assignment once again, this time clearing outright waivers. He elected free agency following the season. Mills was outstanding at Triple-A this season — a large reason for the bewilderment of Brewers fans following the initial trade. In 107 1/3 minor league innings, Mills pitched to a pristine 2.01 ERA with 8.6 K/9 against 1.9 BB/9. He will provide the A’s with some rotation depth which is much needed, as Jon Lester and Jason Hammel are free agents, while A.J. Griffin and Jarrod Parker are both recovering from Tommy John surgery. 原文 http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/10/athletics-to-sign-brad-mills.html ===== 我在藍鳥 我在綠帽 我又回藍鳥 我又變綠帽 打我阿笨蛋~ Welcome back Mills!!!! ※ 引述《terrorist (恐怖份子)》之銘言： : ※ 引述《condition0 (康迪迅零)》之銘言： : : The Athletics have designated left-hander Brad Mills for assignment, according : : to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter). : : Oakland acquired Mills from the Brewers earlier this summer, and the southpaw : : made three starts for the defending AL West champs, pitching to a 4.41 ERA : : with a 14-to-7 K/BB ratio in 16 1/3 innings. : 被藍鳥撿回去了, Billy Beane 獲得 $19,999 (Waiver 不二價 US$20K) .... : Thanks for the three games and 1-1 result; you did serve us well, : and A's fans all wish that you do well wherever you go. --
