Kickham is a serviceable left-hander who can either start or relieve, which adds to his value. With the Mariners, he could get a shot at earning a spot in their bullpen during spring training. Otherwise, he should add starting depth in Triple-A ball. The M's already have plenty of left-handed starters, so he may be more useful as a reliever for Seattle.

The Cubs had acquired Kickham from San Francisco in the off-season, so they parlayed him into a younger arm in the 21-year-old Huijer. The Dutch righty is raw but has good stuff, so the Cubs will be patient with him. Huijer will probably begin 2015 in high Single-A ball. This was a very good gamble for the Cubs, as Kickham is a limited talent.

Huijer should now be on the fantasy radar as a long-range dark horse. As for Kickham, he doesn't own much in the way of fantasy value unless he earns a prominent role pitching out of Seattle's bullpen.
