Phillies Acquire Brad Lincoln
By Zach Links [December 3, 2013 at 8:32pm CST]
The Phillies announced that they acquired right-handed pitcher Brad Lincoln
from the Blue Jays in exchange for catcher Erik Kratz and minor league
left-hander Rob Rasmussen.
Lincoln, 28, appeared in 22 games for Toronto in 2013 and posted a 3.98 ERA
with 7.1 K/9 and 6.3 BB/9. Over parts of four big league seasons, Lincoln
owns a 4.66 ERA with 6.8 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 for the Pirates and Blue Jays.
Rasmussen combined to post a 4.11 ERA with 7.5 K/9 and 4.0 BB/9 in 28 games
(24 starts) for the Dodgers Triple-A and Double-A affiliates. The 5-9,
160-pound left-handed pitcher was traded from Los Angeles to the Phillies in
exchange for Michael Young on August 31st. The 24-year-old is no stranger to
being moved around, as he has now been involved in four career trades,
including the aforementioned Young deal.
Kratz, 33, hit just .213/.280/.386 in 218 major league plate appearances last
season. For his career, the backstop owns a slash line of .220/.281/.407
across four seasons with the Pirates and Phillies. Kratz is expected to
compete with Josh Thole for the backup job behind Dioner Navarro.
