Minor MLB Transactions: 1/20/18

By Kyle Downing | January 20, 2018 at 11:42am CDT

We’ll keep track of today’s minor moves in this post…

  • The Indians have inked a minors pact with lefty reliever Adam Wilk, who’ll receive an invite to spring training. Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that Wilk stands to make $560K if he makes the opening day roster, and can opt out of his contract if he doesn’t. The 30-year-old pitched 14 MLB innings last season with the Mets and Twins; he’s also played for the Tigers and Angels during his big-league career. Wilk averages just 88 MPH on his fastball, but boasts a five-pitch repertoire. He throws a four-seamer, sinker, slider, curve and change up; each makes up at least 10% of his pitch selection. For his career, the southpaw has a 7.36 ERA. Right-handed batters have hit .331/.380/.664 against him.

    This guy has a chance to be more than just a LOOGY by the end of the year. I saw him pitch live last year, and if I recall correctly, he has a heater, sinker, slider, curve and change-up. A nightmare for hitters.

      Yes, a nightmare for hitters. Especially right handed ones. /sarcasm

        He’s actually worse vs lefties than righties.

        vs L 12.0IP – – -66BF 7BB 6K .362 AVG .446 OBP
        vs R 28.1IP – – -130BF 9BB 21K .331 AVG .380 OBP

      Yes, the article clearly states he has five pitches.

      It clearly states his ERA, too

        Five pitches…none of them any good. Nothing like a poor LOOGY, come in to face a lefty and promptly give up a hit to then be yanked for a righty.

    I think his face cut off in the photo sums it up nicely.

    5 pitches, he’s a lefty without a 2 seam fastball? All that junk the throws, got to think that would be an easy one to throw in the mix

    Dude is a stiff off the scrap pile his fast ball does not even hit 90 mph and his ERA is horrible there is no way this guy makes the team.
