Looks like they'll use him in the bullpen.

Hat tip to MLBTR. No fanposts for this yet? I googled him and couldn't find much. Would appreciate any info.

Here's the best article I was able to find, he seems like a very disciplined hitter with a high OBP and some power.

Anyone looked at the final US roster? The line-up is solid, although the OF is a little short on power. The SP is what concerns me. After Oswalt and Peavy, you have Ted Lilly and Jeremy Guthrie. Where are Halladay, Webb, etc? I'd love to see Lincecum face off against Yu Darvish. This reeks of the last WBC where Willis and Leiter got pounded. Hopefully the ridiculous amount of closers will make up for the back of the rotation. US opens against a pretty decent Canada team on 3/7 at 2:00ET on ESPN.

Ben Sheets health concerns allayed?

I don't think we'll do it, but FW should sign him now, for cheap. He is a low-risk, high-reward pitcher that can be had for pennies on the dollar. If were gambling on Andruw, we can take a shot on Sheets. This would have the additional bonus of denying the Mets/Phils his services. I guess he could bump Campillo, who may have some trade value now. We're actually pretty stacked in near-mlb-quality pitchers.

Here it comes *gets out the vaseline*

Chipper trade options

I'd love to move him for another young pitcher to bring up alongside Hanson. So who needs a 3B or DH right now? Who has the young pitching?

The Angels lost their big bat in Teixeira, and they have a bevy of young pitching. Chipper and Guerrero would be a nice 1-2.

The Yankees have Matsui DH-ing, Chipper would be a major upgrade. Can you imagine that lineup with Chipper-ARod-Tex? Maybe we could pry Hughes away.

The Tigers could use Chip over Inge at 3rd or Sheff at DH. I don't know much about their minor league system.

The Red Sox could use Chip at 3rd and move Youk back to 1st and deal Lowell. I still like Buchhloz a lot.

Oakland could be a destination. Even though they signed Giambi, Chip would be a major upgrade over Chavez at 3rd. And Beane has a hard-on for OBP.
