Orioles Designate Clay Rapada For Assignment

By Tim Dierkes | February 6, 2012 at 8:22am CDT

The Orioles designated lefty Clay Rapada for assignment to open a 40-man roster spot in the wake of their recent two-for-one trade, tweets MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli.  

Rapada, 31 in March, has tallied 52 2/3 big league innings for the Tigers, Cubs, Rangers, and Orioles across five seasons.  He's done a nice job against lefties in 34 2/3 career innings.

      His big league debut was with the Cubs in June of 2007. He only appeared in one game for the Cubs. (In fact he only faced one batter.) He was traded to the Tigers in August of that year.

    Apparently he’s exempt from having his foot ever being in contact with the rubber.

       Apparently softball-pitching.

      His splits are truly amazing.  You would think by mere chance he would get more RHBs out, or less LHBs out.  The gap is crazy.

        Yeah a 2.212 OPS by RHH as opposed to a .337 by LHH means this guy should be a LOOGY and a good one
