Los Angeles--
Del Lunar, Christian Koh, Emil Lopez, Russ Jerchower, Matty Ibanez, and Roy Hume were all released a day before arbitration.
The moves, which were made in order to free up pay roll and make room on the 40 man roster for several players who are either joining the big league club or are Rule 5 eligible.
Russ Jerchower really helped and ailing pitching rotation last season, but demanded well over the amount LA was willing to spend on him. He wanted All Star money, but was nothing more than a 3 spot pitcher at best.
Ryan Ruffin is expected to be the first one added to the ML roster. Ryan Ruffin, who is just 22 years of age, already has pretty good power and the ability to drive in runs. He's limited to DH, but if he hits the way LA expects him to, it won't matter much to them.
