The options are great. Teams want as much as possible, especially when they can get cheap.
By means of baseball-grained and post-season are approaching, the cubs are busy adding spare parts to your play list. They signed the first baseman Carlos Santana and the Austin Gomber and Joe Ross throws after they were released elsewhere and claimed another pitcher, Aaron Civala, on the waiver.
They also signed a 34-year-old Speedster Billy Hamilton after spending the last two seasons in Mexico in Mexico. He played Mexico in the Caribbean series in February.
Civali signed a year, within $ 8 million with Milvaukee last winter and was traded in June with a white juice for the first pool Andrera Vaughn in June. The juice was an unsuccessful attempt to trade it in the trade deadline and put it on the renunciation last month. MKUCA will turn to a cival about $ 1.3 million for September.
Others will only owe the proportion of MLB minimum salary ($ 760,000). It goes out to $ 4,418.60 per day.
Santana, 39-year-old switch that is an option in the first base, DH and off on the bench, Cleveland published at the end of August. He went to the books of the cub 1. September. The other four remain in the wings, but can be added to the list at any time, including a place at poster on post-sensoration, because they have signed them up to 1. September.
Cubs slid 5 1/2 games behind Milvaukee in NL central, but at 80-60 is set to snatch the upper place of wild cards. They are concerned about the recent trend, however, because they went 21-21 of the 19th. July.
Hamilton is probably the most riftsome supplement and the least likely to succeed in a significant role. But you can’t blame the president of the cubs of Jed Hoir because you want an elite race race on your bench.
Hoyer was a helper Te Epstein in Boston when Dave Roberts knew that the hope of the red juice was theft of another base in the game 4 ALCS 2004. Years. Hamilton has potentially played this role for the cubs.
Although Hamilton never led the national league in stolen bases, he stole 155 bases in 132 games in 2012. years, setting a lower league record. It has 326 stolen bases in 951 main leagues, including careers high 59 in 2017 years.
Hamilton is a qualified alien, with a career, a total of 74 defensive strips saved, by fringu. But he was rarely more than a hitting order, despite his speed.
At the best of six seasons in Cincinnati, Hamilton Hit .260 with three domestic races and .664 ops. For his career, he is .239 shot with .292 percentage based on the basis and percentage of charging a .325.
Hamilton emphasized 22.1 percent of the plates, with walks only 7.3. Its hard-shelter from 2015. year is 10.2 with an average speed of 81.8 mph, according to Statia. Sprint speed ranked at 98. percent of recently as 2022.
Hamilton stole 80 bases in 132 matches in Mexico last year. This season played only 10 games with Jaliscoom, but had seven stolen bases in 10 games. He will go to Triple Iowa and try to show that he earns at the poster, as he did for courage in 2019. years, and the cubs in the pandemic season abbreviated 2020. Years.
Hamilton’s career illustrates how MLB’s economic system – built around double engines of arbitration and free agency – can work against blue players.
It was made in the second round of the Draft 2009. year from Tailorsville (Miss.) High school, he received a $ 6238 signing bonus, but in one year contracts they played 16 out of 17 windows. The only exception was a contract with Kansas Citims involving each other’s option for ’20; He got a million dollars to redemption (from Atlanta) when it was not executed.
According to the baseball website, Hamilton earned about $ 15.64 million in his career. It was not yet an arbitration that has met the conditions when he has achieved its greatest contributions for red, and thus was held in a total of 1,696,667 dollars in 2013-16, when he presented 7.3 installments over 398 games.
Hamilton created only 2.5 installments in 553 games over seven seasons of productive run during early years of career. Between 2018. and ’23, a free agency was approved eight times, published twice, claimed to renounce twice and was traded once.
Dormant to its limited influence as the attacker, he had no guaranteed contract agreement with Kansas City. He played with compositions, cubs, white juice (Two-brands), Marlina and Gemini in 2020-23, always sign contracts on smaller leagues who left it vulnerable to the Bourned of Roster.
A loan cub for giving another chance. It still has a type of speed that can win games.
