Rule 5: Marlins Add Andrew McKirahan and Matt Tomshaw; Lose Mark Canha

[HUGG]

Canha taken by the Rockies

McKirahan via Baseball America:

Andrew McKirahan, lhp, Cubs: He’s a lefty who has come on lately. A reliever at Texas, McKirahan had Tommy John surgery in 2012 which cost him much of two seasons and has set him back in his development. He started to return to form this season as his fastball jumped up to 92-96 mph this year that he mixes with a fringe-average breaking ball. Just don’t expect him to be a lefty specialist. McKirahan has been tougher on righthanders than lefthanded hitters every where he’s gone since he returned to the mound after his surgery.

McKirahan sounds fun. Also cool that Jarlin Garcia wasn't taken.

[HUGG]

Hard to see him cracking our bullpen unless we can find some way to stash him. But, worth a look.
