Why isn't Carlos Silva coming up more in possible trade rumors. He started the year in the bullpen in Philadelphia and played the whole year in 2002, so I have to assume he's closing in on 6 years of major league service time. Hardball dollars does not have him with a contract beyond this year. His contract is moderate at 4.33 million. He' a solid pitcher but nothing eye-catching. He lives on one pitch and totally fits in to the organization's establish the fastball and pound the strikezone mantras. This is my official bring Silva to Seattle call. He's low-risk and shouldn't cost much in the way of prospects, and can be an adequate replacement for the middle of the rotation
