That's absolutely craptastic news, I was banking on League stepping in and filling Speier's role in the lineup. He was dynamite down the stretch last season and he was finally looking like a potentially stellar reliever who could set things up for Ryan in the 9th.
Bleh, that likely means Frasor will be doing set-up duty this season and I'm not nearly as confident in him as I was with League.
