Tranzactionz (from last week)

Should have caught this from last week, but there were some cuts made:

RHP Rafael Pio, LHP Rafael Luna, LHP German Perez, C Max Sapp, OF Mitch Einertson, OF Carlos Reyes, and OF Nestor Santana.

Of course the big name that jumps out is that of Mitch Einertson, who was suspended last year for using a "drug of abuse."

We also named Rafael Pio the GCL Pitcher of the Year.

GCL Astros - Rafael Luna

Like Pio, reliever Rafael Luna got into 17 games in 2009. But he didn't fare as well...

Rafael Luna
How did he get here?: Signed contract prior to 2007 season
Stats: 6'6", 175 lbs, Throws: Lefty
Age as of April 1, 2010: 20

Season line: 0-3, 30.2IP, 5.87 ERA/2.02 WHIP, 24K:21BB, .325 BAA, 2HR

Splits:

vs. LHB (4.2IP): 3.86 ERA/1.71 WHIP, 5K:1BB, .318 BAA
vs. RHB (26IP): 6.23 ERA/2.08 WHIP, 19K:20BB, .327 BAA

Home (13.2IP): 3.29 ERA/1.61 WHIP, 8K:8BB, .264 BAA
Away (17IP): 7.94 ERA/2.35 WHIP, 16K:13BB, .370 BAA

Bases Empty (13IP): 1.69 WHIP, 12K:9BB, .232 BAA
Runners on (17.2IP): 2.26 WHIP, 12K:12BB, .400 BAA
w/RISP (12.2IP): 2.45 WHIP, 8K:10BB, .429 BAA

June (3 games, 5IP): 3.60 ERA/2.60 WHIP, 4K:5BB, .364 BAA
July (7 games, 12IP): 7.50 ERA/2.33 WHIP, 9K:9BB, .352 BAA
August (7 games, 13.2IP): 5.27 ERA/1.54 WHIP, 11K:7BB, .280 BAA

K/9 Rate: 7.0
BB/9 Rate: 6.2
Groundout/Flyout Rate: 0.88
K:BB Ratio: 1.14

Obviously the walks are a problem for Luna, as well as the hits. So that's a problem for a reliever. And it only gets worse as the situation intensifies (.232 BAA with the bases empty, .400 with runners on). However, there is room for encouragement, as in August Luna posted his first right-side-up K:BB ratio, a WHIP under 2.00, and a BAA under .300.
