The Royals also claimed 28 year-old relief pitcher Steve Andrade off the waiver wire today from the San Diego Padres. He pitched in Double-A for New Hampshire last season in which he was 3-2 with a 1.97 ERA and 3 saves in just over 50 innings of work. Bell sees Andrade as competing for one of the final bullpen positions with Leo Nunez, Steve Stemle, Luke Hudson, and Joel Peralta.Andrade has bounced around from one organization to the next and has never seen major league action. He's mostly pitched in Double-A since being drafted in 2001 by the Angels. The exception was 2004 in which he pitched at the Triple-A level, going 0-1 with a 4.61 ERA in 12 appearances with the Salt Lake club.
