OFF-SEASON MOVES

Had three guy go on the DL before Opening Day (in the U.S., in the daytime).  Knew Tim Hudson was going to start the year there.  Though Allen Craig might.  And had no idea about Takashi Saito, but no big loss there.  He was my 40^th round pick.

Added Seattle prospect Alex Liddi to my bench.  He may not stay with the 66ers long.  He made the Mariners roster out of camp, but has yet to get into any of their first five games (three in the U.S.).  He has some power potential, but not if he’s riding the pine.  Would rather see him lighting up some PCL pitching than rotting in an MLB dugout.

Added Kevin Millwood to the rotation.  I kind of like this pickup, although he isn’t scheduled to pitch until Wednesday, April 12^th.  For the same reason’s I hate Safeco Field for the Mariner’s hitters, I love it for their pitchers.  I really think Millwood can put up some decent numbers for the M’s.  Time will tell but for now he slots into one of my SP slots.

Also added Kameron Loe.  This is more of a committee move as I already have K-Rod and Veras from the Milwaukee bullpen.  Figure I can get at least one of them into a game on a regular basis.  Loe isn’t anything to write home about, but he’s pretty solid.  He should provide a few holds, a pretty good WHIP while posting a good ERA.  Might keep him over Saito depending on how he fares the first couple weeks.
