In response to the first comment above by John Mac: Lendy Castillo is a pitcher and not an outfielder. John Mac might be confusing Lendy Castillo's name with Leandro Castro. Leandro Castro is an outfielder in the Phillies organization having played with the Clearwater Threshers.

The comment above this is an error. Lendy Castillo was a shortstop for two seasons, but has been converted now to pitching.

Terry Doyle sounds like exactly the Twins' sort of pitcher–average stuff, good control and command. Maybe not the next Brad Radke, but maybe the next Blackburn. Flaherty, Gonzalez, and Luetge should be keepers for the teams that wound up with them, and Cabral might be moved again. Among AAA choices, Barret Browning (love the name!) may have the best chance for a ML look. But Rule 5 is a roll of the dice.

Could Luetge fill that lefty specialist role the Mariners have lacked for years?

which would fit with the Mariners' expressed need to add a LHP to their bullpen!

Luetge looks like a LHP

Lendy Castillo is an outfielder not a pitcher.
