The Rockies have designated righty Shane Carle for assignment, according to the MLB Roster Moves Twitter account. His roster spot was needed for the team’s signing of closer Wade Davis.
Carle, 26, made his MLB debut last year in Colorado, though he saw only four innings of action. That’s too small a sample to tell much of anything, but he did exhibit a 94.0 mph average fastball.
As in 2016, Carle spent most of the year at Triple-A, where he worked primarily as a reliever after spending most of his prior career in the rotation. The former tenth-round pick ended the 2017 campaign with a 5.37 ERA with 7.3 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 over 62 innings.
What a shane
I think an MLB team will be interested enough to give him a Carle.
Give message to Angels GM—Rockies Designate Shane Carle—he did exhibit a 94.0 mph average fastball.
Seems like a Pirates kind of arm.
Yes they originally drafted him 2013 and so.ehow got traded to the rockies
Or Brewers
A’s Beane please go ahead and claim this guy…
He’ll be signed within a week. Big league arm and great attitude. Asset in the locker room.
If he has a big league arm, why did he spend almost all of 2017 in the minors?
Come to Cleveland.
Orioles should sign him.
