Second baseman Yung Chi Chen and pitcher Joe Woerman did so well for the Peoria Javelinas during the Arizona Fall League that both were added to the Mariners' 40-man roster on Tuesday.Chen, who played in only five games during the regular season because of shoulder injury, batted .339 in 17 games with the Javelinas with one home run and 12 RBIs. He was selected as one of the 10 biggest surprises in the AFL this season.
Woerman, the Mariners' 11th-round Draft choice in 2003, went 2-2 with a 6.73 ERA in seven starts. Woerman, who will be 25 years old on Dec. 17, spent the 2007 season at Double-A West Tennessee, where he went 7-7 with a 3.74 ERA in 27 appearances, including 25 starts.
Chen was a Rattler in 2005. Woerman was a Rattler in 2006.
Also at that link, a few words from ex-Rattler manager Mike Goff on his new job with the Chattanooga Lookouts:
"This gets me closer to home," Goff, an Alabama native said, "and back into managing, which is what I really want to do. It should be a good situation."
