Jason Ellison – MLB Trade Rumors https://www.mlbtraderumors.com Sun, 01 Apr 2007 16:42:04 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.5 Mariners Acquire Jason Ellison https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2007/04/mariners-acquir-4.html https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2007/04/mariners-acquir-4.html#respond Sun, 01 Apr 2007 16:42:04 +0000 http://localhost/mlbtraderumors/2007/04/mariners-acquir-4.html The Mariners and Giants made a small swap today.  The Giants sent 29 year-old outfielder Jason Ellison to Seattle for 24 year-old southpaw starter Travis Blackley.

Ellison has been a Giants lifer, playing all three outfield spots.  He’s been a starter, platoon-mate, fourth outfielder, fifth outfielder…you name it.  He’s seen a lot of Triple A pitching, and was able to rock it to a .406/.452/.536 tune in 192 ABs last year.  He may be able to earn himself a starting job for 2008.

Blackley is a soft-tossing lefty who relies on his changeup.  He missed all of ’05 after labrum surgery.  He could be a fifth starter option in San Francisco this summer.
