He posted a combined record of 4-1 with a 2.33 earned-run average in 25 relief outings, opposing batters compiling an average of only.188. He also struck out 49 in 38 2/3 innings.
Haley recently posted s 1.64 ERA in 11 innings in the Arizona Fall League. Baseball America rates his fastball as the best in the Cleveland farm system.
House, 23, spent last season at Carolina and Akron, combining for a 10-5 record and 3.65 ERA in 27 starts. He also pitched in the Arizona Fall League, posting s 3-1 record and 3.00 ERA in 27 innings, all as a starter.
