David Aardsma, who was designated for assignment to make room for Mark Kotsay, has been traded to the Seattle Mariners for Fabian Williamson. I hope it works out for David. I've been in his corner since Amalie Benjamin used her prescience to declare that he would be DFA'd. Of course, she was off by ten months but no big deal.
Williamson is a baby pitcher (born 10/20/1988). He's a lefty with a solid curve ball, change-up and a well-located, deceptive high eighties fastball. He's also got good command for someone his age. In a few years he might prove to be an effective bullpen arm.
