August 1, 200520 yr http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2121930 SEATTLE -- The Seattle Mariners released right-hander Aaron Sele on Monday, cutting ties with a player who was in the rotation for the team's historic 116-victory season in 2001. To fill the roster spot, right-hander Jorge Campillo was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma and is scheduled to start Tuesday in Detroit. The 35-year-old Sele was 6-12 with a 5.66 ERA in 21 starts this season. He lost a career-high seven straight starts after going 6-5 through June 25. Sele was with Seattle from 2000-01, going 32-15 in 68 games. The Mariners tied a major league record in 2001 with 116 victories. Sele, who grew up in Poulsbo, Wash., and pitched in college at Washington State, played for the Anaheim Angels from 2002-04 and rejoined the Mariners this spring as a non-roster invited player. He also pitched for Boston and Texas over 12 major league seasons. The 26-year-old Campillo is a former Mexican League standout who has spent most of this season at Tacoma, going 4-1 with a 2.71 ERA in 12 starts. He allowed only 63 hits in 66 1/3 innings, with 18 walks and 43 strikeouts. Campillo made his major league debut May 21 in his only appearance with Seattle this season, working one inning against the San Diego Padres. He joined the Mariners as a free agent during spring training. In eight seasons in the Mexican League, Campillo was 45-29 with a 4.59 ERA in 85 starts and 176 appearances. He's coming off a Mexican Winter League season where he was 10-1 with a 2.05 ERA in 14 starts for Culiacan.
August 1, 200520 yr Hmmm would anyone else rather have Sele in the pen instead of adkins for longer relief?
August 1, 200520 yr Well, if Sele continued to put up stats like that, I don't see how Adkins could do any worse. No thanks.
August 1, 200520 yr I looked at Sele's stats in his first three innings of work....just as bad as innings 4-6. He actually pitches better in innings 7-9, but rarely makes it that far, anyway. Sele had a nice career, but it's over.
August 1, 200520 yr I can see the Yankees picking him up They seem to go for the ancient and infirmed as of late

Wang isn't exactly ancient, although he's been hurt too.

August 2, 200520 yr I give 24 hours before the Yankees pick him up... Maybe 48 if Cashman is busy servicing big George...
