Some transaction stuff...

Thanks to Jay at Mariner Minors for a pointer to the first off-season transactions at BaseballAmerica.com.

Some ex-Rattlers are now ex-Mariner farmhands:

Released: RHP Tommy Johannesen-Ellis ('07), RHP Doug Salinas, LHP Jose Escalona ('06, '08), LHP Eddy Fernandez ('07), LHP Julio Santiago ('05).

The ex-Rattlers are in bold with the year (or years) included.
