Had a 41 year old Arthur Rhodes get 32 relief apperances, the Angels payed 5.5 Million dollars to Fernando Rodney(.92 K/BB rate) for 39 appearances, the Rays let JP Howell (6.16 ERA) make 46 appearances.
Right now the Mariners Bullpen shakes out as
Brandon League
Tom Willhemsen (2nd ML Season)
Hong-Chih Kuo (Injury-riddled head case)
Shawn Kelley (Injury-riddled)
George Sherrill (Injury-riddled/losing velocity)
Best scrub/rookie
Shawn Camp (Only guy in bullpen besides Brandon League to pitch 3 consecutive seasons of 65IP+/>4.25 ERA[woops, Brandon League didn't do this], despite pitching in the offense happy AL East/Rogers Centre.)
Other than Brandon League, there's not a lot to call dependable in the bullpen without Shawn Camp, and Eric Wedge is a guy who likes dependability, he likes guys that can go out every day if need be.
