The Tribe has acquired Jairo Asencio from the Bravos for cash. The 6'2" right-hander, who turns 28 in May, does not have much MLB experience (13 IP, 6.23 ERA), but led the International League in saves in both 2009 and 2011. Asencio, and this will sound familiar, spent the entire 2010 campaign on the restricted list because, up until that point, he had been going by the name Luis Valdez. The ensuing visa issues forced Asencio/Valdez to remain in the Dominican Republic through the entirity of last season. He features a 95 mph fastball, a "great" change-up and a "good" slider. This spring Jairo has a 3.27 ERA in 11 innings, allowing 4 earned runs on 13 hits and 3 walks, while striking out 12. Oh, and one more thing, he is out of options. Help to welcome him to the Opening Day roster. And, yes, lock this one down.
Cheers.
