Mariners | Mariners' pen still leaking as Orioles complete sweep | Seattle Times Newspaper: "O'Flaherty may yet live to pitch another day late in a game. But for now, the high-pressure, late situations will be passed on to fellow lefty Ryan Rowland-Smith and most likely Arthur Rhodes, once he's healthy enough to be called up."
The Mariners' bullpen is a nightmare right now with neither top set-up man, Eric O'Flaherty on the left and Mark Lowe on the right, blowing every opportunity to fill closer JJ Putz' shoes.
If Putz is out for much longer than expected, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Mariners' dip into their prospect pool to get a middle reliever. The big loser would be the Tigers who don't have any reserve prospects to deal.
The top reliever on the market will be the Mariners' for the taking.
