Mariners to add to the pile. You heard it here first folks

I believe that. He fits the bounce back candidate status Dipoto so much desires. But this increases difficulty for Montgomery to fit in the pen.

Local reports say the Os are one of the teams. It always takes at least a year to really recover so I think 2015 is not a true barometer of his ability. He makes sense for a lot of teams but my bet is on the Orioles or Mariners.

Perhaps a homecoming is in order for Eric O’Flaherty who was born and raised in Washington state and began his professional career with the Seattle Mariners organization.

Wonder if the Pirate’s are in the mix. Their type of pitcher.

It would definitely be nice for the Braves to sign E.O’F again. Their organization, and specifically Roger McDowell and Eddie Perez worked wonders for him, his first go around.
Before his time in Atlanta, O’Flaherty was basically nothing more than a lefty cast-off from the Mariners organization. Once McDowell and Perez got their collective hands on him, he truly flourished and learned how to harness his pitches with excellent command.
Every pitcher who has gone through an arm surgery like his, will tell you it takes time and alot of practice to regain the true feel of your pitches and especially to regain your command!!
Velocity was not the issue for E.O’F last season, he just simply was unable to really get his command back on track. I have no doubt that O’Flaherty will bounce back this year, and personally I would love to see him do it in a Braves uniform…
Although, with that being said, I am sure there are teams calling for his services that are in a much better position to compete for a title, and you definitely could not blame Eric for choosing a more competitive ball club over the Braves.
