A huge sell on this one. Rafael Palmeiro is one of Baltimore's main bats in the middle of the order. Ryan Franklin is Seattle's 5th starting pitcher. Since the all-star break, Franklin's had a 6.16 ERA, 1.68 WHIP, and hitters are teeing off him with a .317 average. Seattle is also bringing up its pitching phenom Felix Hernandez, so it won't be long before Franklin is demoted.
