no one thus far too interesting

Well, some of the guys rumored in deals with us (Alfonseca, DeJean, Jimenez) have cleared waivers, and Freddy Garcia did as well. The Mariners seem determined to trade him, even though they need him.

thats true, although i think Garcia is a pretty interesting name, he's still young and he's shown that he can pitch. although i dont mean he's coming here or that we want or need him. the rules are a good thing to know, its real confusing how players are traded this time of year after the deadline

Freddy is struggling big time
