Ian Krol Elects Free Agency

By Jeff Todd | May 31, 2018 at 9:24pm CDT

Lefty Ian Krol has elected free agency after clearing waivers, per a club announcement. He was designated for assignment and then outrighted earlier today.

Krol, 27, cycled onto the Halos roster but obviously was never expected to remain for long. He was dropped after just one appearance, during which he threw two scoreless innings. The southpaw had thrown well to open the year at Triple-A, working to a 1.71 ERA with twenty strikeouts and nine walks in 21 frames.

A hard-throwing lefty, Krol has now worked 190 cumulative innings in part of six seasons in the majors. He has had success at times, but on the whole owns a 4.50 ERA with 8.4 K/9 against 3.5 BB/9 along with a 45.2% groundball rate.

    I thought he accepted the outright and was headed to AAA

      I certainly see him being the next man up in that revolving door in their bullpen.

      Most definitely. Tribe needs to do whatever is necessary to bring this guy on board.

    Cardinals pick Krol up. We don’t need dumpster fire Cecil anymore.

      Still 2 more years on Cecil’s contract, so they are prob stuck with him.

    With all the Mets injuries they probably should sign him

    I’d welcome him back to Atlanta…so we can run him through the gauntlet….then demote him for Peter Bourjos…..again….

    Couldn’t hurt the Orioles pitching rotation.

    Wouldn’t mind the Phillies grabbing him to help Morgan and be another lefty in the pen. Curtis and MIlner are options too, I know, but Krol seems better.

    I wonder why the Angels let Krol go, he did not pitch bad….was it a physical problem? Drake is no better…..

      Definitely seems like LAA downgraded with that move. Krol must have irritated someone in the front office.
