Sun Apr 11 2010 | 18:49 | Mariners' Snell hit around by Rangers in loss |
Ian Snell was knocked around for five runs -- four earned -- in just three innings against the Rangers on Sunday. |
Snell gave up eight hits and two walks while failing to strike out a batter. He looked solid in his season-debut against the Athletics, but Snell is no match for tougher offenses. Given his poor spring, Snell should be avoided in all but the most favorable of matchups. |
Wed Apr 7 2010 | 01:13 | Mariners' Snell strong for six innings |
Ian Snell limited the A's to one run and three hits in six innings in a no-decision Tuesday. |
He was facing one of the game's worst lineups, but it was still an encouraging outing for Snell after he went 1-4 with a 7.13 ERA this spring. A Kurt Suzuki homer accounted for the only damage against him. Snell's next start comes in Texas on Sunday, so those AL-only leaguers with daily changes will probably want him reserved. |
