Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Rays Acquire Ben Hendrickson, Maybe

  • Former Milwaukee Brewer Ben Hendrickson is now in the system and will start in Durham in some capacity. It appears he was picked up off of waivers ,  His issues seem to be control related, maintaining a measly 1.8 K:BB ratio in the minor leagues. If nothing else he now leads Durham in hair. It looks like Hendrickson was just acquired by the Royals for a minor leaguer and appeared in their game yesterday. Odd, for now let's assume it's the right player, not too many other Hendricksons running around out there.
  • Wade Townsend and Eduardo Morlan will indeed begin in Montgomery. Stacy Long has the organizational depth chart posted along with the Hendrickson news and...
  • Desmond Jennings will apparently miss some time with a back injury, if you remember he had minor knee surgery last year.

Morlan..

Was more than a throw-in, thats for sure.

I watched him pretty close last year, and he did a very nice job. I'd rather have given you guys Rincon.

I was okay with Rincon, sadly, because I kept imagining a bullpen of Rincon/Wheeler/Reyes, if you add Percival and Miller that's right on par with what we have now. That being said, I'll gladly take Morlan.

Yeah..

I can see where a veteran would be a better fit right now, and having to wait a couple years to get Morlan would be a downfall.

Are you guys happy with Delmon so far?
