<p>Laffey compiled a 2-3 record with the Indians in 2010, racking up a 4.53 ERA in 29 appearances and five starts. He spent much of the year bouncing between the bullpen and starting rotation, filling in with spot-starts when needed. In spring training this year, Laffey was in limbo as he battled for the fifth starter job.</p>
<p>In Seattle, it's unclear what his role in Seattle will be as he joins a pile of pitchers battling for rotation and bullpen jobs.</p>
