The Guardians acquired him from the Diamondbacks in a DFA trade just after Opening Day. He only made 10 big league appearances, allowing three runs Jose Cuas Jersey over 11 2/3 frames. Strzelecki fanned nine while i suing a trio of walks. He spent the bulk of the season on optional a signment to Triple-A Columbus, where he allowed a 5.01 earned run average acro s 46 2/3 innings. The ERA isnt especially impre sive, but he struck out 27.1% of batters faced against a 7.9% walk rate.
