i've seen a rumor a few places that has womack going to the rays for RHP minor leaguer stephen andrade. He'll be 27 and has spent 5 years in the minors, which sounds bad, but look at his numbers across all levels:
Minor League Totals: 2.15 ERA 0.94 WHIP 222.1 IP 34 Saves 5.42 h/9 0.45 hr/9 3.00 bb/9 13.20 k/9
There must be something wrong with him, but more than 13 k/9 and he never gives up homers, seems like he might be worth the gamble. Womack isn't exactly what i'd call an essential part of our team.
Howard and that other guy plus 1 mil would be worth it and then some if this guy was for real.
