Bullpen Moves A-Comin'... Again
Yep...The Indians are expected to make a move today to shake up the bullpen yet again.And Jeremy Sowers is involved, in some way...Sowers was scratched from the game last night and according to Tony at IPI, that means he's either traded or getting called up.It only makes sense.What doesn't make sense is why he would be put into the bullpen.

Mark Hendrickson to the Florida Marlins: The Fantasy Impact
In an attempt to add some depth and leadership to their rotation (and possibly bullpen), the Marlins signed starter/reliever Mark Hendrickson to a one year contract. It looks as though the Marlins will use Hendrickson in their rotation, since their bullpen was a strong point last season, and their rotation was far from it. The Marlins currently have Sergio Mitre, Scott Olsen, Andrew...
