Astros Claim Will Harris From D’Backs

By Steve Adams | November 3, 2014 at 1:53pm CDT

The Astros have claimed reliever Will Harris off waivers from the Diamondbacks, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports (on Twitter).

Harris, 30, totaled 29 innings out of the Snakes’ bullpen this season, pitching to a 4.34 ERA with 10.9 K/9, 2.8 BB/9 and a 34.7 percent ground-ball rate. Though ERA wasn’t particularly kind to Harris in 2014, metrics such as FIP, xFIP and SIERA are all quite fond of his work and reflect that his ERA could’ve been nearly two runs lower this year. Overall, he’s pitched quite well in two seasons with the D’Backs since being claimed off waivers; from 2013-14 Harris registered a 3.42 ERA with an 88-to-24 K/BB ratio in 81 2/3 innings of work.

    Good pick up by the Astros. He’s not too far removed from a great season, and he might allow Woj to head to the rotation.

      Quite honestly, his numbers from 2014 look remarkably similar to 2013, except that he gave up homers at a faster rate. Good bullpen arm.

        yea, and working with brett strom should prevent that rate. how’s his velocity?

    At this point they should get every bullpen arm possible into spring training just to see who shakes out. It might be time to shift some prospects into bull pen rookies instead of potential starters…
