Rays Acquire Ben Hendrickson, Maybe

by R.J. Anderson on Mar 29, 2008 8:13 PM EDT

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.
