Calhoun was the man that pitched great for us last year, but we felt the need with an extra lefty in the bullpen with Robbie Brooks that Calhoun could go down and be ready should we move any player in the bullpen he can step right in. Calhoun has pitched lights out at AAA with under a 1.00 ERA and 50k's in 40 IP. Calhoun can be a valuable piece to any bullpen. Duane Heath the versatile outfielder, is going to be a free agent at the end of the year and with Jose Rodriguez being back and Moon-soo Kim and looking to upgrade the OF we are making Heath available as he plays everywhere in the outfield. Chase James, another of our solid bullpen arms that when he has been called up has done a good job, just not enough bullpen slots for all of them. Has some great stuff and some real heat to his fastball. Chuck Merr is a very solid 2B, he was sent down to allow Al Young and Samuel Peterson to come up as they were more diverse playing mutliple infield spots. Merr could be a starter at 2B for a lot of teams and averages an OBP of over. 350. Samuel Petersen, young guy, high OBP and plays stellar defense at both 2B and SS, just too many infielders to get him enough AB. Dale has some good stuff and a devastating cutter out of the bullpen, just a casualty of too many arms in the bullpen and not enough slots for him. Paul Spencer was one of our young pitching arms out of the draft a few years ago, we are looking at moving Spencer in a big time deal for a top SP or big bat to help our lineup drive in runs. Al Young is a defensive wiz at SS and has a good solid OBP, we are looking to move one of Young, Petersen or Merr in order to give a little more flexibilty in the middle infield and get more AB for everyone. Also willing to listen to offers for either Kimi Kichida or Robbie Brooks if the deal is right. Looking For: SP, Run producing OF bat, also willing to accept players for the future.
