Brewers Sign Neftali Feliz
內文：

The Brewers bolstered their bullpen on Thursday, announcing the signing of
right-hander Neftali Feliz to a one-year contract. Feliz, a client of BTI
sports, is reportedly expected to close for Milwaukee and will be guaranteed
$5.35MM. His contract reportedly contains incentives as well, which can boost
the value of the deal to $6.85MM. Feliz was first rumored to be working
toward a deal with Milwaukee over the weekend.

The 28-year-old Feliz was the 2010 American League Rookie of the Year with
the Rangers and served as the closer in Texas for two seasons before shifting
back to the rotation and ultimately requiring Tommy John surgery in 2013. He
returned to Texas and logged a 1.99 ERA in 2014 but with considerably
diminished peripherals. The Rangers cut him loose midway through the 2015
campaign after 19 2/3 innings of a 4.58 ERA, and he fared worse down the
stretch with the Tigers that season (7.62 ERA in 28 1/3 innings).
Like so many others, though, Feliz found renewed success with the Pirates,
for whom he tossed 53 1/3 innings of 3.52 ERA ball last season. His fastball
velocity, which had been diminished since coming back from Tommy John, spiked
back up to an average of 96.1 mph, and his strikeout and swinging-strike
rates jumped accordingly. Feliz averaged 10.2 K/9 last season and posted a
career-best 14.2 swinging-strike rate that ranked 24th among 135 qualified
relievers. He also averaged a manageable 3.5 walks per nine innings pitched
and posted a 37.9 percent ground-ball rate.
Had Feliz finished the season in better health, a multi-year deal may very
well have been in the cards. However, his season unofficially came to an end
on Sept. 3 with an arm injury that was never disclosed in full and remains
nebulous to this day. That likely gave plenty of teams pause over the course
of the winter, though the Brewers are comfortable enough with his medicals to
bring him on board. The fact that Milwaukee has a seemingly wide-open
ninth-inning picture following the trade of Tyler Thornburg to the Red Sox
likely enhanced the appeal of the Brewers for Feliz, who can re-enter the
open market next season and conceivably cash in on a substantial contract if
he remains healthy in 2017.
If Feliz does ultimately end up closing games in Milwaukee, he’ll push
right-handers Corey Knebel and Carlos Torres down the pecking order. Rob
Scahill, Michael Blazek, Jhan Marinez, Jacob Barnes and Taylor Jungmann will
be among the relievers competing for middle relief work in manager Craig
Counsell’s bullpen, and left-hander Tommy Milone looks like a solid bet to
break camp as the team’s long man (if he’s not able to claim a rotation
spot in Spring Training).

備註：
1. 釀酒人隊以$5.35MM/1YR的合約簽下Neftali Feliz，含激勵獎金最多可領$6.85MM。
2. 遊騎兵起步的他曾是2010年的ROY，在兩度進入輪值之後，2013年動了Tommy John手術
，轉隊到老虎隊的表現更是慘不忍睹，直到去年在海盜隊調整後才有明顯的進步：速球球
速回到手術前的水準(平均96.1mph)，打者被三振率與揮空率因此提升，上季投出生涯最
佳的14.2%的打者揮空率，明列135位後援投手中第24名，其他數據如滾地球率為37.9%、
10.2 K/9、3.5 BB/9。
3. 但他在上季的9/3日因為手臂受傷結束球季，讓大家對他的健康狀況打上一個問號，
但釀酒人在交易原終結者Tyler Thornburg至紅襪後，也增加了補強Feliz的需求。
4. 釀酒人隊今年球季預計的後援陣容：
(1) CL：Neftali Feliz。
(2) SU：Carlos Torres。
(3) RP：Corey Knebel、Rob Scahill、Michael Blazek、Jhan Marinez、Jacob Barnes、
Brent Suter(LHP)、Tyler Cravy。
(4) LR/SP：Taylor Jungmann、Tommy Milone(LHP)。
5. Feliz上季在海盜的成績表現(今年29歲；上季薪水：$3.9MM)：
ERA HLD SV SVO IP SO HR BB FIP WHIP
3.52 29 2 4 53.2 61 10 21 4.52 1.137
