Austin Adams

Adams has bounced around between Triple-A Columbus and the Indians over the past two seasons, registering 48 appearances in a middle relief role during that time. The righty struggled throughout 2016, especially near the end, posting a 24.00 ERA in four appearances in September to bring his season ERA to an abysmal 9.82 in 18.1 innings. The numbers just aren't there for Adams, really. His inability to make people miss is an issue, as his strikeout rate has never carried over from the minors and his .373 BABIP is worrisome at any level. It would seem as if there is little to look forward to with the 30-year-old, whose ailing numbers are rightfully neglected in the middle of the best bullpens in the league. Adams regressed in most statistical categories from 2015 to 2016, although a move to the Angels could bode well for him, as their bullpen situation is dire enough that he could carve out a decent role with enough solid outings.
