The Royals announced Monday that they've designated right-handed reliever Collin Snider for assignment. His spot on the 40-man roster will go to veteran lefty reliever, whose previously reported one-year deal with Kansas City is now official.
It's been a tough first look in the majors for Snider, who's also scuffled in parts of three Triple-A seasons. He averages 95.7 mph on his sinker, however, and has racked up ground-balls at an impressive 51.9% clip in the big leagues. That hasn't helped him to keep runs off the board, but Snider is a hard-throwing 28-year-old with strong ground-ball tendencies and a minor league option remaining - and his slider also received strong reviews later during his prospect days in the Royals' system.
