I'd like to state for the record that I absolutely LOVE the job Omar has done with the club.
Ryan Garko signs with Seattle for half a million dollars.
Yep.
So...you're saying a career OPS+ of 109 for 550K is better then Gary Matthews, Jr???????

Well, we finally know who was the long rumored right-handed 1B/DH type the Mariners were after – Ryan Garko, who they have now signed. He gets a 1 year, $550,000 deal, which is quite frankly a massive bargain. To get a quality platoon player in his prime for barely more than the league minimum… for comparison, he’s basically the equal of Garrett Atkins, who signed for $4.5 million earlier this winter.
