This has been out there for a bit. Mariner Minors had it out there and there hasn't been a chance to do this here. There is some news about a former Rattler pitcher.

Padres add several six-year free agents

Ryan Ketchner, a left-hander originally selected by Mariners in 10th round of 2000 draft, spent last year in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization where he went 2-1 with a 1.69 ERA over three leagues spanning 13 appearances. He missed the 2005 season after elbow surgery.

Ryan was a Rattler -- and a highlight -- in 2002.
