I had seen the Staiano pick up but not VanDeHatert...
VanDeHatert looks intriguing. Appears to have a bit of a long/slightly odd arm action but has a nice 91-94 mph fastball and despite the 6.10 ERA, pitching for DBU as much as he did is a good sign and he had a nice so/walk ratio.
Staiano appears to have been Elon's primary closer this past year and posted some nice stats but he looks like more of a soft-tossing lefty with promising off speed pitches in the Chase Swift mold. If he could perform somewhere in between Swift and Josh Berzonski, he could be a decent depth reliever arm.
