Why Ian Snell and Seth McClung

I picked these guys up off the wire today.

These guys fit the profile of my pitching strategy.  Since I’m passing on Saves, I’m looking for high K guys.

Should Heilman or Escobar tank or get injured, I got a couple guys that I can still work into the RP slots.

Snell has had a good spring and has locked up a rotation spot.  He is supposed to be a higher K pitcher than Maholm so I may end up starting Snell instead.

Seth McClung has also had a decent spring and has a rotation spot.  Again, like his high K rate potential.

I gave up C. Hansen – Someone looking for saves in the longer term may want to take a chance on Foulke’s possible replacement.  

I also gave up Aaron Boone’s future replacement,Andy Marte, good for someone looking for 3B depth.
