Plan B it is. Locke as #5 and watch for us to get Ziegler,Uehara or even Tazawa along with Jansen

No clue if we are still on them-we resigned McGowan

Koehler
Phelps

Locke
McGowan
Wittgren
Ellington
Barraclough
Ramos
Jansen

Maybe sign another Starter, move either Phelps or Koehler to the Pen, and deal Ramos for prospects/platoon partner for Bour.

I'm fine with this if they're using him in the bullpen/as a long man.

Would much prefer to keep him out of the rotation though.

Well, underwhelmed doesn't begin to tell how excited I am about this signing. 5.44 ERA, 9-8 record.....ok, let me cheer for this
"Yay

Something I mentioned yesterday-a few teams have asked about Bearclaw,Wittgren and even Ellington. See them as setup/future closer. Only thing we desperately need beside a SP is a right handed bat

Mattingly mentioned how they wanted different looks from the pen, so I don't know if I would count Ellington/Cervenka/McGowan as locks. Perhaps they would like to add Ziegler or one of the Japanese relievers with the money saved from signing Locke.

No not locks I am just saying what our pitching staff will probably look like. Ellington,Cervenka,Wittgren can all be sent down and if we go with a super pen their will be alot of tired arms that could get 10 day "rests" for blisters,dead arms HAHA
