Travis Schlichting

Schlichting was added to the 40-man roster last fall, and is still in the process of making the conversion from third base to the mound. So far, he's done so with some success, allowing just three earned runs in 29.2 minor league innings, though his 23:15 K:BB leaves plenty of room for improvement. Schlichting saw 2.2 innings with the big club last year, allowing one run, but walking five. He still has a shot at carving out a decent career as a middle reliever, but he'll open 2010 at Triple-A in hopes of improving his command and getting another shot.
